About this course

Full Cry at Keswick Club, nestled in the rolling hunt country of Keswick, Virginia, evokes a sense of established tradition, where equestrian pursuits and sporting life intertwine. This is not a place to chase fleeting golf trends, but rather, to embrace a classic, challenging layout. Originally designed by Pete Dye, Full Cry is a modern interpretation of parkland golf, set against the backdrop of the Virginia Piedmont. Generous fairways encourage aggressive play off the tee, but Dye's signature mounding and strategically placed bunkers reward precise approach shots. It's a course that respects the power game without completely ignoring the cerebral. Expect to see blind shots and undulating greens that demand a deft touch. While not a fixture on the professional tournament circuit, Full Cry holds a special place for its membership, drawn from the Keswick Estate and surrounding communities. The atmosphere here is one of relaxed refinement, where post-round conversation often turns to the hunt, the turf, and the merits of a perfectly mixed gin and tonic. Speaking of the membership, they are keen sportsmen and very active at the skeet and shooting ranges. Adding a unique twist, Full Cry recently underwent a comprehensive renovation that took its inspiration from Bobby Weed.

Getting there

The journey to Keswick Club begins at Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, a compact regional gateway just fifteen minutes east of the property, though many members arrive via private aircraft to the same facility. From downtown Charlottesville, a brief drive along Route 22 carries you east into the pastoral Virginia Piedmont, where the landscape opens into rolling horse country framed by the distant Blue Ridge. The entrance, discreetly marked along a tree-lined corridor, reveals little from the road - a fitting introduction to one of central Virginia's most private sporting retreats, where the transition from public thoroughfare to gated seclusion unfolds with quiet, old-money grace.
