Belmont Golf Course was built in 1917 by Hall of Fame Architect A.W. Tillinghast, originally as Hermitage Country Club. In the 1930’s and 1940’s, the course was a frequent stop for the PGA hosting the Richmond Invitational and 1949 PGA Championship, hosting legends like Ben Hogan and Sam Snead. In 1977, Hermitage Country Club built a new facility west of Richmond and Henrico County purchased the course and named the property Belmont Golf Course.
