Longest Hole/Waterfall Course
Meadows Farms Golf Club
About this course
Meadows Farms Golf Club sits in Locust Grove, Virginia, roughly midway between Fredericksburg and Lake Anna in the state's Piedmont region. Designed by Bill Ward and opened in the early 2000s, the course serves the growing residential and recreational communities of northern Caroline County. The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of Virginia's central Piedmont, where elevation changes and wooded corridors shape the playing corridors. The course name references two distinctive features: an exceptionally long par five that stretches well beyond six hundred yards, and a waterfall feature that comes into play on one of the holes. These elements provide visual and strategic variety within a routing that balances open farmland character with mature tree lines. Water appears on several holes, and the property's natural contours create opportunities for both elevated tee shots and approach plays to greens set at varying elevations. Meadows Farms operates as a public facility, serving both local residents and visitors traveling through the Fredericksburg area. The course fits within Virginia's tradition of accessible daily-fee golf, offering a full-length test without the formality or membership requirements of private clubs. Its location along the Route 3 corridor makes it a convenient option for golfers exploring the region's historical sites or heading to the lake communities to the west.

Getting there
The journey to Meadows Farms Golf Club begins at either Washington Dulles International (IAD) or Richmond International (RIC), each roughly an hour's drive from this pastoral corner of Orange County. The route from either airport traces Virginia's rolling Piedmont countryside, where interstate gives way to two-lane state roads that wind past horse farms and historic estates. As you approach Locust Grove - a quiet crossroads between the bustle of the capital and the gentility of Charlottesville - the landscape opens into the kind of unhurried, agrarian Virginia that feels purposefully removed from the modern world, making the arrival at Meadows Farms feel less like a destination than a well-kept secret.
