WELCOME HOME

Something for Everyone

Nestled along the serene banks of the James River, James River Country Club has been a cornerstone of the Riverside community since 1932. A hidden gem rich in tradition and charm, the Club offers the luxury of a resort with the warmth of a close-knit community. Members enjoy vibrant social experiences, exceptional dining, and a wide array of athletic and family activities—all within an inviting and relaxed atmosphere.

Featuring an immaculate 18-hole golf course, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, an indoor cigar lounge, four swimming pools, engaging children’s programs, and a year-round calendar of events and entertainment, the Club is a private retreat designed for every member of the family.

A Timeless Course

For those passionate about the game, our meticulously maintained 18-hole course is both a challenge and a retreat—offering Members countless opportunities to sharpen their skills and connect with fellow golfers.

Thanks to a balanced Membership demographic, tee times remain accessible, and the course never feels crowded. Unlike other Clubs where demand peaks at the same times, our fairways stay open, ensuring Members enjoy the game without compromise.

Take a swing at our stunning 18th hole, and you'll understand why it’s recognized as one of the top-rated finishing holes in Virginia—just one of many reasons our Members call this course home.
