About this course
Nestled in the heart of Virginia's burgeoning wine country, Old Trail Golf Club provides a pastoral respite from the surrounding vineyards, embodying a modern golf experience rooted in classic principles. The course, carved into the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, presents a visually stunning parkland layout characterized by dramatic elevation changes and strategic bunkering. While it doesn't favor any particular style of play, golfers will certainly be challenged with its undulating greens and doglegs. Designed by Ed Carton, Old Trail presents a demanding yet fair test for players of all skill levels. Carton routed the course to take full advantage of the natural contours, creating memorable vistas from several tee boxes. While Old Trail hasn’t played host to any major professional championships, the club maintains a strong commitment to amateur golf and hosts several regional events throughout the year. Old Trail is a cornerstone of the Crozet community, a hub where families and friends gather, and where the spirit of camaraderie thrives as much as the competition on the course. In addition to golf, members and guests enjoy a fully-equipped clubhouse, bar and restaurant, swimming and tennis facilities.

Getting there
The journey to Old Trail Golf Club begins at Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, a compact regional hub just twenty minutes east, though many travelers opt for the broader connections available through Richmond International, roughly ninety minutes away. The drive west from Charlottesville traces the foothills of the Blue Ridge, climbing gently through horse country and vineyard-dotted valleys before arriving in Crozet, a small mountain town where the Appalachian ridgeline rises dramatically to the south. Old Trail reveals itself at the base of these ancient slopes, its entrance tucked into a landscape where pastoral Virginia yields to something wilder and more vertical - a fitting threshold for a course carved into the shadow of the mountains.
