Poplar Grove Debuts ‘Swing into Summer’ Membership Offerings
Poplar Grove Golf Club – Sam Snead’s final course design located in the beautiful rolling hills of southern Virginia – debuts its “Swing into Summer” membership offerings as the club touts its $3 million golf course renovation.
Poplar Grove’s three membership tiers are an affordable and attractive way to enjoy the updated facilities. As part of the “Swing into Summer” limited time offer, Poplar Grove’s monthly rates begin at only $150 for a single membership. A couple’s monthly membership rate is $175. A full-family membership holds strong value at $225 per month.
Building on its three membership tiers, Poplar Grove is also waiving initiation fees for the remainder of this golf season. Membership benefits at the club include unlimited greens fees, special guest rates, a complimentary range plan and practice facility use. Members also receive access to member only events, member lounges, dining facilities and other amenities currently under construction.
Poplar Grove’s $3 million Phase I renovation comprised of re-building bunkers, teeing grounds and green complexes; updating drainage, clearing trees and remodeling practice areas while adding brand new Tour Practice Titleist range balls. Poplar’s new fleet of customized E-Z-GO golf carts provide a smooth ride for all guests.
The course restoration was led by Ed Carton, a Virginia native who learned under Tom Fazio, Michael Hurdzan, Gary Player and Raymond Floyd. Carton consulted closely with Snead when designing Poplar Grove and saw the project through to its finish in 2005, three years after “Slammin’ Sammy’s” passing. Poplar Grove, a Golf Digest “Best New Upscale Public Course” in 2005, is returning to its heyday under the close watch of Carton, the man who brought Snead’s blueprint to life.
The historic Manor House, Poplar Grove’s storied centerpiece, is also being restored as an event space. A 100-seat indoor-outdoor dining space, luxury bar, several member-exclusive areas and overnight accommodations are among the planned additions for Phase II of the project.
In addition, Poplar Grove announced in May the hiring of longtime PGA TOUR veteran Dick Mast as golf professional emeritus and director of instruction.
Located in Amherst, Virginia, Poplar Grove is 20 and 45 minutes from Lynchburg and Charlottesville, respectively. The surrounding Blue Ridge foothills are alive with breweries, distilleries and wineries, constituting the perfect getaway for couples and buddy groups.
