Golf in Haymarket - Piedmont Golf Club, Dominion Valley and more...

When people think of Haymarket, Golf generally isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But in reality, there are several great golf courses in Haymarket or just a couple miles from Haymarket. First is the Piedmont Golf Club - A great Tom Fazio layout with his signature bunkers everywhere and fast greens. the other main golf course is Dominion Valley Country Club - An Arnold Palmer Signature design course with wide fairways and slowish green. A lot of great holes at Piedmont and Dominion Valley. When the wind is blowing, both courses will play 3-5 strokes harder, maybe more! A great public golf course in Haymarket is Bull Run. A great layout with AMAZING views and wonderful layout!!! Definitely the most picturesque. There are currently no homes on the golf course but they are selling 3 acres homesites. The past few years Bull Run wasn't in great shape, but there is now a new owner and he has been working to get the course back to a condition worthy of its layout and surroundings! Just a couple miles away in Gainesville are Robert Trent Jones (RTJ), the ULTRA exclusive home of The President's Cup and Stonewall, a great public course with an awesome layout just across the lake from RTJ.

Finally there is Evergreen Country Club in Haymarket and Heritage Hunt in Gainesville - both private courses worth playing.

If you are looking to buy a house of the golf course, be sure to read my article about Living on the Course at www.haymarketforsale.com.

Hit 'em straight! and 98% of putts left short do not go in!!
