Lake Chesdin Golf Club

Overview: Lake Chesdin Golf Club in Chesterfield is a woodland course by Brian Tuck and Ault Clark, routed through mature trees and rolling ground beside the lake. The 18-hole par-72 layout measures 6,951 yards from the gold tees and combines tree-lined corridors with Bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens. The lake is part of the visual setting, but the course's main demands come from the changing width of the fairways, the position of the greens and the way wooded approaches limit recovery angles. It is a Virginia private-club course whose interest grows through the relationship between water, trees and the moving terrain.

History: Lake Chesdin was founded in 1999 and developed as a private golf club in the Chesterfield area. The course's current material attributes the routing to Brian Tuck and Ault Clark, preserving a two-designer identity rather than assigning the course to a generic lakefront development. Its golf presentation continues to emphasize the original woodland setting, the par-72 scorecard and the connection to Lake Chesdin.

Did You Know? Lake Chesdin's official course material pairs the lake name with a very specific turf combination: Bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens. That contrast reflects the course's Virginia climate and helps explain why the playing surfaces can have a different visual and textural character from the surrounding wooded rough.
