Mill Quarter Plantation Country Club

Mill Quarter Plantation sits in Powhatan County, roughly thirty miles west of Richmond, Virginia, in an area that retains much of its rural character despite gradual suburban expansion. The course was designed by Ed Ault, a prolific Mid-Atlantic architect whose portfolio includes more than forty courses across Virginia, Maryland, and neighboring states from the 1960s through the 1990s. Ault typically worked with rolling terrain and incorporated natural features into routing plans that emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while respecting the existing landscape. The property occupies former plantation land, and the routing makes use of the gentle to moderate elevation changes characteristic of Virginia's Piedmont region. Mature hardwoods frame many holes, and several water features come into play on the layout. The design reflects Ault's practical approach: fairways that reward accuracy without excessive penal elements, greens that offer varied pin positions, and strategic bunkering that defines playing corridors and approach angles. Mill Quarter Plantation functions as a private country club serving the Powhatan community and surrounding areas. The club provides a traditional country club experience with golf as the central amenity, supported by practice facilities and clubhouse dining. The course serves members seeking a well-maintained layout in a quieter, less densely developed setting than courses closer to Richmond's urban core.
