JAMES RIVER COUNTRY CLUB
Newport News, Virginia
WELCOME HOME
Something for Everyone
Nestled along the banks of the James River, James River Country Club has been part of the Riverside community since 1932. While rooted in tradition, the Club continues to evolve, offering a lifestyle that feels welcoming, relaxed, and thoughtfully elevated.
What defines the Club today isn’t just its setting or history, but the experiences shared here – from meaningful connections to time well spent with family and friends.
Members enjoy a full and engaging social calendar, exceptional dining, and a wide range of athletic and family offerings designed to fit real life. With an 18-hole golf course, indoor and outdoor tennis, an indoor cigar lounge, four swimming pools, children’s programming, and events offered year-round, the Club provides a place to gather, unwind, and belong – whether for a casual afternoon or a night worth looking forward to.
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.
