About

Independence Golf Club in Midlothian is situated on the edge of the Piedmont region, routed through the area’s mature woodlands and natural wetlands. Tom Fazio designed the course; it's his only daily-fee course design in Virginia. The challenging layout features narrow fairways lined with high, thick rough areas. There are also numerous strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greens. It's a tough golf course but not overly punishing for high handicappers. The course strikes a nice balance between being challenging and playable, a reason that it often serves as host to many Richmond-area tournaments. The layout finishes with an uphill dogleg left that plays over water, with a good drive you can avoid the bunkers that are to both the left and right of the fairway. For beginners, Independence Golf Club also has a nine-hole short course for training as well as a learning center.

Independence Golf Club consistently impresses with superb course conditions, fast and true greens, and a layout that rewards precise shotmaking. The exceptionally friendly staff and on-site dining at Tavern 19 make this a top Richmond-area destination.

Independence

Generally first class operation all around. Great staff, clubhouse, range, layout, fairways. Greens were firm and true; not exceptionally fast. I went on a cart path only day and I would not do that again. Definitely would be better to walk than CPO. There was a beverage cart but the snack shack was closed on a Sunday. A great test of the long game. Thanks to Lester George for the sand trap reduction. Rest assured I was still able to find several of them.

Nice coursev

The course was very nice and I had a good time playing it. Being a semi-private club it had some nice amenities and the club fitting trailer was very nice.

I would recommend it when in Richmond.

Disappointing for a Saturday.

Course was in great shape from the Mid-Am. Practice facility always in great shape. No bev kart or halfway house open on a beautiful Saturday. If you’re gonna claim to be the tip of the spear and charge $150+ for a round then the spear needs to always be sharp.

Fast Greens

Greens were fast and the rough was coming up. Course is hosting the state open in a week.

One of my favorite tracks in the area.

The course was not as green and fluffy as it was last time I played it, but the manicure was great!! Now if they sold a golf game with the tee time it would be even better. Loved the course and loved the people. Thank you for a great experience.

Nice!!

Very nice layout and competitive course for a golfer who has played many courses across the US. Definitely a course I play when I’m back in Richmond area.

Fix the bunkers!

I know it’s rained a lot but several bunkers had completely washed out and collapsed! Several were completely unplayable! Course is challenging and nice otherwise.
