LEXINGTON GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Lexington, VA, USA
Designed by Ellis Maples

Lexington Golf & Country Club sits in the Shenandoah Valley of western Virginia, where the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a scenic backdrop to this Ellis Maples design. Maples, a prolific mid-century architect who worked extensively throughout the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic, routed the course across rolling terrain characteristic of the region. The layout takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature hardwood corridors, creating a traditional parkland experience that reflects the design sensibilities of its era.
The course serves the Lexington community, a historic town known for Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute. The setting offers a blend of pastoral Virginia landscape and mountain views, with holes that move through varied topography rather than dramatic elevation swings. Maples typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward thoughtful course management.
Lexington Golf & Country Club functions as a traditional private club, providing a social and recreational hub for members in this small college town. The club culture reflects the area's blend of academic tradition and Southern hospitality. The course remains a regional amenity rather than a tournament venue, offering members a well-maintained Maples layout in one of Virginia's more picturesque settings, where golf fits naturally into the rhythm of valley life beneath the mountains.
