In 1948, 162 acres of Quillen Farm was purchased to build a golf course. Designed by Fred Findlay (whose portfolio includes the top courses in the region including Farmington Country Club) and his apprentice Pete Lang, the course opened for play in 1950 with 9-holes. In 1955, the Hewitt Dairy Farm was purchased and construction began on the back nine.
Orchard Creek is located off I-64, just a short drive from Charlottesville, Staunton, Harrisonburg, and Lexington. The practice facilities include a driving range, short game facilities with a bunker, and an expansive putting green.
