Albemarle Golf and Tennis Club (1914-1922) was organized on May 1, 1914 for the promotion of outdoor sports and games. James B. Wood served as President in 1922.[1]
Forty-eight men comprised the first members. The club leased the land for the golf course from the Marchant family and purchased the land from the Marchant heirs in 1918. The golf course was located at the east end of Charlottesville, Virginia, along the Rivanna River near current day Meade Park. No trace of the golf course remains today except in the street names “Fairway Avenue” and “Short 18th Street.”[2]
