Hunting Hawk at Hunting Hawk Golf Club

Hunting Hawk Golf Club sits in Glen Allen, a suburban community northwest of Richmond in central Virginia. Designed by Bill Love and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Virginia Piedmont, where the landscape transitions from the coastal plain to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Love, a regional architect with numerous courses across the Mid-Atlantic, routed the layout through wooded corridors and across moderate elevation changes that provide natural definition to the holes.

The course plays through a mix of hardwood forests and open areas, with water features coming into play on several holes. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, creating a variety of approach shot angles and green complexes that require thoughtful club selection. Fairways are generally generous off the tee, but the design emphasizes accuracy on approach shots, where greens are protected by bunkers and natural slopes.

Hunting Hawk serves as a semi-private facility, offering both member and daily-fee play. The club provides a traditional golf experience for the Richmond metropolitan area, where the course fits within the region's collection of accessible layouts designed during the golf development boom of the 1990s. The setting remains relatively quiet despite the suburban location, with the tree-lined holes creating a sense of seclusion from surrounding development.
