Virginia

The most important association for golfers in the Old Dominion State is the Virginia State Golf Association, which has been serving the needs of Virginians since 1904. With nearly 330 golf clubs across the state, there is plenty of choice for locals and visiting golfers, and there is history aplenty, too.
