Description

Overview

The Fredericksburg Country Club is a private club nestled on the banks of the Rappahannock River, located 50 miles south of Washington, D.C. Founded in 1925, the Fredericksburg Country Club is considered the area's best family-oriented club and is truly a "home away from home," providing a safe and secure recreational environment for members and guests. The club features championship golf, casual & fine dining, indoor & outdoor racquet sports, an athletic facility, and an aquatics center. The club currently has over 535 memberships and has hosted many prestigious events, including the Virginia State Open and, in 2025, the VSGA Senior Championship.

The City of Fredericksburg is an Independent City, well known for its historic heritage as a focus of activity during the Colonial and Civil War eras. Fredericksburg has a population of approximately 27,945 people. However, that number is greatly augmented by the number of tourists and visitors drawn to the historic sites and shopping venues in and around the city. Our downtown features chef-owned bars and restaurants, art galleries and studios, and antique and specialty shops, making it a truly distinctive shopping and dining experience. Fredericksburg residents enjoy the services typically found in larger cities, including award-winning schools and neighborhoods within walking distance of downtown.
