Thinking About Living in Glenmore Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Glenmore Country Club and the surrounding Charlottesville golf market.
Glenmore is a 1,300-acre gated community in Keswick, about 8 miles east of Charlottesville, built out since 1992 around an 18-hole John LaFoy-designed championship golf course. The development comprises 824 homesites with roughly 500 acres kept as common land, walking trails, and green space, and includes a full-service equestrian complex alongside the golf course, tennis/pickleball courts, and a Georgian-style clubhouse. Distinctively for a gated golf community, The Club at Glenmore explicitly markets that prospective members 'need not live within the gates' to join -- membership is open to the wider Charlottesville area, not restricted to Glenmore residents.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole, par-72 Championship Golf Course, designed by John LaFoy and opened in 1992, is described by the club as the centerpiece of the property.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership at The Club at Glenmore is open to applicants regardless of residency -- the club states directly that members 'need not live within the gates.' This record could not confirm whether Glenmore homeowners receive included membership, a discount, or simply the same open application as any outside applicant; absent that confirmation, membership is treated as available but not automatically included with a home purchase.
Living in Glenmore Country Club
Glenmore comprises 824 homesites across 1,300 gated acres, with roughly 500 acres preserved as common land, walking trails, and green space; homes are reported in a roughly $500,000-$2.5 million range. The community is managed by the Glenmore Community Association, with a reported median assessment around $280/month per a third-party HOA-fee aggregator (not independently confirmed against the association's own fee schedule); a separate Glenmore Highlands sub-association levies its own additional dues.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Amenities include an 18-hole golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a 25-meter outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a Georgian-style clubhouse with dining rooms and a ballroom. The community also includes an equestrian center (boarding, training ring, paddocks, show ring, riding trails) -- though one source this session described the equestrian center as closed and converted to a horse rescue, unconfirmed by a second source.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fee and dues directly with the club -- aggregator figures found this session were not verified against the club's own materials, and the reported dues bracket read as an implausibly wide placeholder range.
- Confirm whether the Glenmore Farm equestrian center is currently open to boarding members' horses or has been repurposed, as one unconfirmed source suggested.
- Confirm whether Glenmore homeowners receive any preferential path to club membership versus outside applicants.
Notable
- The club explicitly markets that members 'need not live within the gates' -- membership is not resident-exclusive.
- 824 homesites across 1,300 gated acres, developed since 1992.
