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.

Greens need help - not normal

I’ve played IGC many times. The greens were the best in Richmond. However something is going on and they look diseased and need help. Also looks like they are not mowing the rough? Something was off about the day I went. I hope they get this straight because I love Indy.

Always a great round

Great course and the greens are in great shape in December. It will take a couple of rounds to know your shots around the course. Great atmosphere and the burrito at the turn was just right.

Spoil yourself and play when you can.

Okay Fazio

For a Fazio course I was a little disappointed but it was in pretty good shape overall. I scored well but I just didn't come away with the Fazio feeling I usually get playing his courses. Would I play it again...absolutely. I guess I just expected a little more but hey I can't complain about a 77 but so much.

Following a 5-some (3 who were walking) from the 10th tee on was annoying.

Just Amazing!!

In the 30 years I have played golf I don't even know if I can say that there has been a course that I've played that was in better shape than Independence! Perfect tee boxes, perfect fairways, perfect greens!!! Great day!!

Finding Golf in Richmond

While visiting family I stayed in Short Pump. The app led me to Independence. It was a delightful first time experience. I’ll be back!

Fastttttt Greens

First time playing Independence. Loved the course. For a Sunday, the pace of play was great. Marshals were on top of it. The greens were great. No pitch marks and they are fast. Can’t wait to play here again.

Hot & Wet

The course was very wet. It was very hot and humid. I couldn’t finish. Got overheated.
