Sir Guy Campbell, of St. Andrews, Scotland, designed and built many courses throughout the British Isles. In 1959, he was invited to the Northern Neck of Virginia to design and build what would become his only American work.
Although The Tartan has been massaged over the years, his style is still evident in the beauty of the course. He took advantage of the naturally rolling, wooded terrain to create a design that blended perfectly with the surroundings. The generous greens provide numerous pin positions with slopes that vary from gentle to diabolical. Water comes into play on eleven holes from the various arms of Carter's Creek and strategically positioned ponds. So natural and challenging is the layout that only twenty-four bunkers complement the design. The Tartan both challenges the low-handicap golfer and pleases the novice.
Nestled along the beautiful waters of the Rappahanock River and Chesapeake Bay you will find the perfect mixture of small town charm and championship golf. This "Rivah" town is home to The Golden Eagle Golf Club located at the Tides Inn, King Carter Golf Club (named Golf Digest's best new course in 2006), The Tartan Golf Club, and The Piankatank River Golf Club. With accommodations at the Holiday Inn Express, when you make that 5 foot putt for eagle, tell your friends you may not be a pro, but you did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!
