Fawn Lake Country Club

Fawn Lake Country Club is a private golf course located in a gated community near Spotsylvania, VA. There is little that compares with this in the area.

The course is a 30-year old Arnold Palmer design, featuring Zoysia fairways, large bent grass greens, and fescue rough. The course could favorably compete with the finer courses in the Charlottesville area, and the community would be unmatched.

There are six tennis courts, both clay and grass are part of a $1 million capital improvement project. The clubhouse is a separate building from the restaurant, located across the parking lot. The restaurant is a popular community full-menu restaurant and bar, with outdoor seating overlooking the 18th green, TVs inside and out. Near the clubhouse is a large practice green, a chipping green, and a large, very fine driving range. The range features measured targets including sand, wooden storage ball boxes, water station, and wooden dividers and benches all matching. There are at least twenty hitting stations.

The general manager, Bret Shifflett, has been there seven years, leading a team that includes Drew Falvey, Director of Golf (who is leaving at the end of Oct ’24 for Farmington CC), and David Smith, Superintendent, a 25 year veteran of Fawn Lake. There isn’t much he hasn’t touched or improved on the course since his arrival.

The large Palmer greens require extra care. The fairways and greens don’t look like they have the annual play of 24,000 rounds. We could play this course every week! This was an exceptional experience.
