(DULLES, VA) – 1757 Golf Club – managed by Billy Casper Golf and in its first full year of operation – has been recognized by GOLF Magazine as one of the “Best New Courses You Can Play” in America.
The only course in Virginia and one of two in the Mid-Atlantic region, 1757 Golf Club is in elite company on the national list with The Golf Club at Harbor Shores (Michigan), host of the 2012 and 2014 Senior PGA Championships, and TPC San Antonio, new home of the PGA TOUR Valero Texas Open.
A few months ago, GOLF Magazine ranked 1757 Golf Club among the top six percent of all daily-fee courses in Virginia. This is testament to the club’s exciting course layout, pristine playing surfaces, red-carpet guest treatment, state-of-the-art learning and practice facility, meeting and banquet services and outstanding food.
“GOLF Magazine and our loyal golfers think alike,” says Steve Keating, General Manager of 1757 Golf Club. “Our team works incredibly hard to ensure a ‘country-club-for-the-day’ atmosphere with memorable golf and social experiences.”
Recognized as the “Ultimate Golf Experience,” 1757 Golf Club features a 6,623-yard, 18-hole, par-70 golf course crafted by David Heatwole, formerly with Jack Nicklaus’ design company. Accuracy off the tee and using every club in the bag makes for fair challenges to all handicappers. Stone walls, gently rolling terrain with elevation changes up to 30 feet and views of the majestic Virginia landscape impress golfers time and again.
Playing experiences crescendo at the signature par-3, No. 18 hole with a daring iron shot 150 to 165 yards (depending on pin placement) over water onto a narrow green. With the clubhouse and patio as eye-pleasing backdrops, low wind is blocked, creating an illusion of calmness, but air swirling at higher elevations emphasize proper club selection.
The horseshoe driving range – 76 hitting stations, including 20 on grass and lighted for night play – presents simulated fairways and target greens. The expansive short-game area includes tees, mini-fairways, bunkers and greens for practice and PGA-certified instruction.
The “Golf Academy at 1757” – the region’s most comprehensive, golf learning center with high-tech swing analysis – conducts junior summer camps in addition to individual and group instruction. The 1757 Golf Tour Trailer provides professional club fitting and repair.
1757 Golf Club’s richly-appointed, 16,000-square-foot clubhouse is home to the SeventeenFiftySeven restaurant serving authentic American-style fare. The bar, boardroom, meetings and banquet space (combined seating for 250 people) provide a distinguished venue for corporate outings, weddings and other social events. The clubhouse also features two outdoor patios and men’s and women’s locker rooms.
Named after the year Loudoun County was established, 1757 Golf Club celebrates Virginia’s deep presidential history with event rooms named after state natives George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe and Woodrow Wilson.
