Golfing Virginia

The southern state of the Commonwealth of Virginia was one of the founding states of the United States of America, and famous for it’s varied terrain giving rise to some of the best golf courses in the United States. Why not take a golf tour of Virginia with Charter Bus Virginia? Charter Bus Virginia offers rentals of a charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coaches or school bus at reasonable prices to suit any size group from our fleet of vehicles.
Virginia’s location near Washington D.C. and Chesapeake Bay has long meant a steady stream of visitors and vacationers throughout the year. Coupled with it’s varied terrain of coastal plains where it fronts the Chesapeake, to it’s rolling hills and mountains in the Blue Ridge Mountains means that Virginia has always been an ideal place to lay out a golf course. The winds and weather of Virginia allow for year round golfing, although humidity in the state’s climate rises the further south you go.  
Some of the most challenging golf courses in the nation reside in Virginia. One of these is the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville. This 7,289 yard regulation distance course has 18 holes centered around Lake Manassas. A club that concentrates purely on golf, this walking course provides golf in its very essence. Taking your charter bus over to Fredericksburg, play a game at Cannon Ridge Golf Club. This rolling, 7,100 yard course serves up a challenge to golfers of every level. A unique feature of this club is the Beman course, laid out on land where Union troops set up cannon revetments during the Civil War. Greens are small because course designer Deane Beman believes that slow play results from too much time spent on the putting green. Nonetheless, the greens still break in a manner which will give any golfer a run for his money.
The Riverfront Golf Club is a course laid out in the traditional manner, giving breathtaking views of its riverside location. Located on the banks of the Nansemond River, this 6,357 yard par 71 course plays on Bermuda grass, and was voted 4 and a half stars by Golf Digest. Head in your charter bus over to Norfolk, where you can play at Eagle’s Haven and Lambert point. Eagle’s Haven is managed by the U.S. Navy, and is 6,206 yards long. Lambert Point is a municipal course with a par of 34.  Both courses feature rolling terrain and provide an essential golf only experience.
Kinloch Golf Club in Manakin-Sabot is a challenging forested course that provides a private club atmosphere to the discerning golfer.
