About
BEAUTIFULLY REIMAGINED
Elizabeth Manor is more than a golf course and country club – it’s a lifestyle. Founded in 1948, the club is a well-known landmark located in the historic city of Portsmouth, Virginia.
Originally designed in 1948 by Dick Wilson, the 18-hole, par 70 championship golf course is a Private Golf Club and features a full-service Professional Golf Shop & world-class practice range and short game facility. Committed to a high-level of excellence, the course has been reimagined into a world-class course beginning in 2019 by owner Dwight Schaubach and his team with the consulting of World Golf Hall of Fame member and Two-Time Eastern Amateur Champion, Ben Crenshaw.
Beyond golf, Elizabeth Manor offers several family-friendly, resort-like amenities including tennis, swimming, culinary delights, and memorable social events. Explore how the course has evolved in its 70+ year history.
