The Federal Club in Glen Allen, Virginia, is an Arnold Palmer-designed private course that opened in the late 1990s. Palmer's work here reflects his characteristic approach to accessible yet strategic golf, with generous fairways balanced by well-placed hazards and greens that reward thoughtful approach play. The layout takes advantage of the rolling terrain common to the Richmond area, incorporating natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that define individual holes while maintaining a sense of openness. The property sits in the suburban landscape northwest of Richmond, where residential development meets preserved natural areas. The routing moves through mature hardwoods and across moderate slopes, creating variety in both shot requirements and visual character. Water features appear on several holes, and bunkering follows Palmer's preference for bold, visible hazards that clearly communicate risk and reward options to players of different skill levels. The Federal Club operates as a private facility serving the Glen Allen and greater Richmond communities. The course provides a championship-length test from the back tees while offering multiple tee options that make the layout playable for a range of abilities. Palmer's design philosophy of creating enjoyable golf for members rather than tournament spectacle is evident in the balance between challenge and playability throughout the round.
