Nottoway River Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the most memorable or challenging hole at Nottoway River Country Club?

You'll quickly discover the par-3 14th is Nottoway's true test, demanding a precise carry over the river to a green guarded by bunkers. It's a beautiful, nerve-wracking shot that truly defines the course's character. We always recommend taking an extra club and committing to the swing.

When is the ideal time of year to play Nottoway River Country Club for the best conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when the weather is glorious and the course is impeccably maintained. You'll avoid the intense summer humidity and enjoy firmer fairways and perfectly manicured greens. Plus, the surrounding foliage in autumn is simply stunning.

Is Nottoway River Country Club accessible to non-members, and what are the typical green fees?

Yes, Nottoway does offer limited public play, usually on weekdays or during specific twilight hours, so always call ahead for availability. Expect green fees to be in the $80-$120 range, which we find fair for the quality of the course and the overall experience you receive. It's a premium experience without requiring a membership.

What unique amenities or experiences does Nottoway River Country Club offer beyond the golf course itself?

Don't miss the chance to dine at The River Grille after your round - their crab cakes are legendary and the views from the patio are fantastic. We also appreciate their expansive practice facility, which includes a short game area that's perfect for honing your wedges before hitting the first tee. It's more than just a golf course; it's a full day out.

How does Nottoway River's course design accommodate golfers of varying skill levels?

While the river certainly adds challenge, Nottoway is surprisingly fair for all handicaps thanks to its multiple tee boxes. You'll find wider landing areas off the tee than some other river courses, but approach shots demand precision to avoid the well-placed bunkers and water hazards. We recommend choosing a tee box that truly matches your game to maximize enjoyment.
