Poplar Forest Golf Course (Scorecard | Rates)

If you have a historical bent of mind, the name Poplar Forest will certainly ring a bell. This is a place made famous by Thomas Jefferson, where the former President designed and owned a plantation, which is now a historic landmark.

The 9-hole Poplar Forest Golf Course was constructed out of this property.

Poplar Forest is one of the 4 golf courses in the Forest area of Lynchburg, which is part of Bedford County.

The area has a subtropical climate with cool winters and hot humid summers with a year-round golf season.

With wide-open fairways and not too many hazards, the course is fun to play, and with multiple sets of tees, can accommodate golfers at all skill levels.
