The Olde Farm Golf Club

Deep in the heart of the Virginia Highlands, The Olde Farm is a testament to a singular vision – that of Jim McGlothlin, who sought to create a haven reflecting his deep love for the game. This late modern masterpiece, carved into rolling farmland near Bristol, offers a playing experience as generous as its West Virginia benefactor. Wide fairways encourage bold drives, but subtly undulating greens and cleverly placed bunkers await the wayward approach. The Olde Farm favors those who can both bomb it and show a deft touch around the greens. Designed by Bobby Weed, with input from McGlothlin himself, the course embraces the pastoral landscape. Bentgrass blankets the fairways and greens, while fescue roughs frame the holes, lending a classic, understated aesthetic. While not hosting professional events, The Olde Farm is a regular stop for top-tier collegiate tournaments, quietly earning a reputation as a demanding test for emerging talent. The club is known for its understated elegance and commitment to tradition. Its membership draws largely from the surrounding Appalachian region, a group as passionate about their golf as they are about their heritage. The Olde Farm is more than just a challenging course; it's a place where the spirit of the game is celebrated with genuine warmth and a shared appreciation for the simple pleasures of good company and well-played rounds. A member’s club where privacy and golf are celebrated.
