Manakin Course ☆ Follow

The Manakin Course is one of two 18-hole layouts at Hermitage Country Club, located in Goochland County, Virginia. The club features a total of 36 holes of golf, with the second course named the Sabot Course. Both layouts were designed by prominent course architects, bringing a high level of design pedigree to the facility. The Manakin Course presents a strategic challenge from the opening tee, where players must find the fairway to set up a ball sitting up perfectly. The approach shot to the green requires careful decision-making, as a large bunker guards the front, forcing golfers to choose between flying the hazard or running the ball up the gap. The course is known for its demanding nature, requiring precision and course management to navigate effectively. Hermitage Country Club hosts the annual Valentine Invitational, a tournament event that highlights the competitive quality of the Manakin and Sabot courses. The facility is situated in a rural setting, offering views of the surrounding countryside and the Manakin and Sabot courses from its dining venues. The club maintains a long-standing tradition in the region, with over a century of history in the area.
