Eleven holes of private golf in the Richmond suburbs. The Federal Club keeps a low profile, which suits its membership fine. Walking is permitted but not particularly encouraged. Cart paths wind through the layout in ways that suggest the original design had four wheels in mind. Terrain stays manageable for those who insist on carrying their own bag.

Call ahead if walking matters to you.
