Lake Monticello Golf Course
Lake Monticello Golf Club offers everything a golfer would want in a home course: a variety of tee boxes, reasonable fees, friendly staff, game improvement areas, restaurant and bar, and challenging, scenic golf. Not only that, it’s well run, managed and the superintendent, Jim Prucnal, does a fantastic job of preserving the course, even in dry heat. In fact, his reputation around other superintendents is well known. Lake Monticello is fortunate to have him.
Our reviewers were there in July 2024 in the middle of a heatwave. To preserve the course, greens take priority, but water is everything. They’ve been transferring water to their reservoir for the last few weeks in an effort to take care of the course.
Lake Monticello Golf Course is a Buddy Loving design, opened in 1969. About 65% of the residents are members at Lake Monticello. There’s a tee box for every level of play, from 5610 yards to 6930 yards – nine different tee box combinations. You might take extra balls for this course – you might need them (we did). The challenge is on the undulating greens.
A walkable course for those wanting to walk. There are approximately 30,000 rounds per year, and 200 members. Favorite holes: Hole 3, Par 3; Hole 7, Par 5; Hole 9, Par 4, and Hole 18, Par 5. The course is accessible – VSGA VIP card as well as a pretty descent price for a public golf course. When you go – tell them Virginia Golf Course Reviews sent you!
