Lexington Golf and Country Club
141 Country Club Rd, Lexington, VA 24450, USA- Spaces for 225 Guests
Tribrook Club sits at 141 Country Club Road in Lexington, Virginia, on grounds with roots dating back to 1902, when six original golf holes were first laid out in town. The club expanded to nine holes in 1930 with the acquisition of the former Tribrook Farm acreage, and grew again in 1969 with a final land purchase that made way for the full 18-hole course, designed by golf course architect Ellis Maples and debuted in 1971 as Lexington Golf and Country Club. The club has recently partnered with Washington and Lee University to reinvigorate the property, and has been renamed Tribrook Club to honor that long history while carrying it forward. The club describes itself as "a distinct and welcoming club, a place to belong, reconnect, and carry forward a legacy of warmth and excellence." A full renovation of the clubhouse, dining spaces, pool, and golf performance facilities is currently underway, with a grand reopening planned for 2027 to mark the club's 125th anniversary. In the meantime, a portion of the club's grounds has reopened for limited golf access. Beyond its championship golf course, the club offers food and beverage service through Tribrook Bar & Grill, swimming facilities, and event venues that have long served as a gathering place for members, families, and the broader Lexington community, including Washington and Lee University and VMI.
