RICHMOND, VA-The First Tee of Richmond Golf Course, a $3-million, nine-hole endeavor, has gotten under way with a recent groundbreaking ceremony that was attended by city officials. The project is part of the World Golf Foundation’s First Tee initiative, which assists in bringing golf courses to neighborhoods that have little access to the greens. A course with the first three holes will be ready for use in September and construction of the field house will be completed this summer.

“We are really, really excited about this because it is the first municipal golf course in the City of Richmond,” Angela Jackson of the city’s Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities Department tells GlobeSt.com. “Richmond was one of the few major cities in the country that didn’t have a municipal golf course.”
