The Country Club of Virginia

What The Country Club of Virginia does

The Country Club of Virginia (CCV) is a private, single-privilege membership club founded in 1908 and headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. It operates two campuses situated seven miles apart — the Westhampton Campus (6031 Saint Andrews Lane) and the James River Campus (709 South Gaskins Road) — collectively spanning 1,100+ acres with 54 holes of golf across three 18-hole courses: the Westhampton Course (opened 1910, Donald Ross design), the James River Course (opened 1928, William Flynn design), and the Tuckahoe Creek Course (opened 1988, Joseph Lee design). The James River Course has hosted USGA Men's Amateur Championships (1955, 1975) and has been the venue for the PGA TOUR Champions Dominion Energy Charity Classic since 2016.

CCV's product offering is a unified private club membership experience built on a physical amenity stack: five full-service restaurants with dedicated kitchens, five swimming pools, a fitness and racquet sports complex, a state-of-the-art golf practice facility, and event/wedding venues (ballrooms, dining rooms, terrace and outdoor spaces) across both campuses. The club employs 800+ people across full-time, part-time, and seasonal roles spanning accounting, youth activities, fitness, and culinary functions.

The business model is subscription-recurring membership dues, with non-public, quote-based pricing handled through a dedicated membership staff. Prospective members apply and are approved; legacy membership pathways exist for descendants of existing members at age 21. Distribution is direct sales within the Richmond metropolitan area only, supported by reputation, word-of-mouth referrals, and the club's brand prestige (ranked #7 Platinum Club in America and #53 in the world). The club is member-owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external shareholders.
