Willow Oaks Country Club opened its doors in 1957, with the golf course formally opening in June of 1959. Handsome refurbishments completed in the early 2000s took their inspiration from the “Old House,” the heart of it all. Renovations included a new pool and bathhouse surrounded by fine ironwork and masonry, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a return to classic décor in the Clubhouse, Dining and Lounge areas. During the 2008 renovation of the par-72 golf course along the James River, the Club unearthed storage piles of stones from its mining days. In homage to history, these stones were incorporated into the architecture of the course, including the large stone wall at the first and eighth tees and the base of 17th green. Today, two mounds just in front of the 12th tee are all that remain of those old stone piles
