About The Virginian Golf Club

The Virginian Golf Club is a private club in Bristol, Virginia, developed by the Nicewonder family, who broke ground on the property in the early 1990s.

The course sits among the rolling Appalachian hills of southwest Virginia, a quiet natural setting with long views at sunrise and sunset. The club has remained closely tied to the founding family and the member families who have joined over the years.
