The New Belmont: A Historic and Transformative Project
James River Nurseries was truly honored to have been a part of such a transformative and historical project at Belmont Golf Course and First Tee. The opening ceremony today marked the culmination of a unique and exciting project that promises to bring the community together and spark joy for the game of golf.
First Tee – Greater Richmond: Building Character Through Golf
First Tee – Greater Richmond uses golfas a platform to strengthen the character of our community. Through teaching life lessons and leadership skills in a fun, group setting for youth ages 5-18,regardless of background or previous experience, our courses aim to build character. The First Tee of Greater Richmond exists to nurture the character of our community, and this mission is at the heart of the newly renovated Belmont.
The New Belmont: A Community-Focused Golf Facility
Following a thoughtful and extensive renovation, "The New Belmont" emerges as a community-focused,inclusive, and affordable public golf facility for all ages and skill levels.This remarkable transformation prominently showcases restored original Tillinghast holes, routing, and features, celebrating the brilliance of golf’s Golden Age of architecture. In addition to honoring its historical roots, The New Belmont provides new entry points and playing options for those who are new to golf or do not have the time for a full 18-hole round.
Ushering in a New Era of Golf
The New Belmont joins other recent and upcoming innovative public golf course projects, including Bobby Jones Golf Course in Atlanta, Sweetens Cove in Tennessee, and the National Links Trust inWashington D.C. These projects are helping to usher in a new, more welcoming and inclusive era in golf.
