The Belle Haven Country Club experience is a community filled with members having lifelong friendships, shared values and great memories. Belle Haven is a private, family-oriented country club, just south of Old Town Alexandria in Fairfax County and nestled along the banks of the Potomac River adjacent to the George Washington Memorial Parkway.
What began as a modest 9-hole golf course and clubhouse in 1924 has grown into a full-service club boasting an 18- hole golf course renovated by worldrenowned architect, Arthur Hills, driving range with chipping and putting practice facilities, five indoor and eight outdoor tennis courts, two platform tennis courts, pickleball play, state-of-the-art Fitness Center with group exercise rooms and an outdoor seasonal pool. Through all of those years, the club has first and foremost been a gathering spot for families and friends of all ages and stages.
Once accepted, the membership is friendly and welcomes new members to enjoy the many activities and special events held throughout the year.
This membership overview is designed to depict the exceptional experience of membership at Belle Haven Country Club. From golf to racquet sports, fitness to the pool, dining to gathering for those very special holiday traditions such as Easter and Easter Fun Day, Belle Haven is a very special place that you and your friendly will want to enjoy for many years to come.

GOLF
Belle Haven Country Club is proud to present its par 72, 6,965 yards, 18-hole championship golf course.
Redesigned in 2002-2003 by renowned golf course architect, Arthur Hills, the course is considered to be one of the finest courses in Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic area. Hills created a course to challenge every golfer, with a slope rating as high as 74.9/14 and length of 6,965 yards.
One golf writer has noted that the re-designed course presents holes which are “each unique, begging players to examine every aspect of their game…the holes have a great rhythm and their variety sets them apart. Each is memorable.”
Several of the holes overlook the Potomac River and the course is just a short distance from downtown Washington DC, Capitol Hill or Tysons Corner easily accessible for all participants.
Our unparalleled practice facilities include a complete driving range, chipping green and two putting greens.
Our member Director of Golf, John Kauzlarich and his team are here to create an outstanding golf experience with a golf calendar full of tournaments, special events and social functions. Men and lady golfers of every level, years of experience or new to the game can benefit from instruction from our teaching pros, Chad Moseley, Dennis O’Donovan and the Club’s assistant pros dedicated to the game of golf.
TENNIS
has been a tradition at Belle Haven almost since the Club was founded 98 years ago. With eight outdoor clay courts boasting "California Corners" and five DecoTurf indoor courts, tennis is a year-round sport for Belle Haven families. The Athletic Facility houses five indoor courts (plus the Fitness Center) where a variety of clinics, individual and competitive play are happening each day. With thirteen courts, tennis enthusiasts will have multiple opportunities to test and improve their skills. We also offer a beautifully designed and well-stocked Tennis Pro Shop. Cardio Tennis is a way to combine a great workout with the love of tennis.
The tennis tradition includes tournaments throughout the year, for women, men, and families. Children can start playing as early as age 3 1/2 and the Club offers an exciting junior program for older kids. There are many chances for beginners and top-flight players to work with our excellent staff of tennis professionals. Brian Clay is our Director of Racquets and his staff is dedicated to all of the racquet sports.
There are a variety of programs for men, ladies and juniors: Interclub League of Northern Virginia where teams are fielded for both men and ladies, USTA Senior Tennis League, Friday Night Men's Doubles, Cardio Tennis, Junior tennis, Senior's Tennis, round robins, adult one day tennis camps, parties and much, much more!
PLATFORM TENNIS
One of the best ways to get some great exercise outside during the cold weather is to enjoy tennis on Belle Haven's two outdoor platform tennis courts. Belle Haven offers clinics to introduce the game to men, women, and junior players. Platform tennis is an excellent chance to meet new friends and enjoy old ones playing one of the best games around. Platform tennis functions, with beer, wine, and chili, are a terrific way to spend an evening outside in the fall and winter.
