Twin Lakes Golf Club's Lakes course is located in Clifford, a small community in Amherst County in central Virginia's Piedmont region. Designed by Denis Griffiths, the course takes its name from the water features that figure prominently in the layout. The region's rolling terrain and mature hardwood forests provide the setting for a routing that incorporates both elevation changes and strategic water hazards across the property. Griffiths, who has designed numerous courses throughout the Mid-Atlantic, typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating natural land features into his designs. The Lakes course reflects this approach, with holes that work with the existing topography rather than requiring extensive earthmoving. The water elements serve as both visual landmarks and strategic considerations, affecting club selection and shot placement on several holes throughout the round. Twin Lakes Golf Club operates as a semi-private facility, offering both membership and daily fee play. The course serves the local Lynchburg area golf community as well as visitors exploring central Virginia's golf offerings. The region's moderate climate allows for an extended playing season, with the course typically open year-round weather permitting. The layout provides a straightforward test of golf suited to the recreational player while offering enough variety in hole design to maintain interest for regular play.
