About this course
Lake Monticello Golf Course is a public, 18-hole course in Palmyra, Virginia, within the Lake Monticello residential community in Fluvanna County, near Charlottesville. The course was designed by architect Buddy Loving, with some sources also crediting Algie Pulley, and opened in the early 1970s, taking advantage of the rolling terrain typical of Virginia's Piedmont region. It plays to a par of 72 across a wide range of tee options, with Bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens. While situated inside a private community, the course itself operates with public access to tee times alongside a membership program. The layout includes a mix of open and wooded holes shaped by the property's natural contours rather than significant earth-moving.
