Scrabble may
boast county's
first golf club
By SHARON KILPATRICK'
Rappahannock News Staff Writer
Will Rappahannock have a golf course and country club in the southern part of the county?
It will, if Dr. and Mrs. Berkley Rish gain approval for their proposal from the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.
They have applied for a special exception permit for a country club on a 138-acre parcel they bought on the east side of U.S. 522 between Woodville and Scrabble. The property, to be known as Fox Creek Country Club would have an 18-hole golf course, with nine holes to be put in as part of the first phase of construction and nine holes to be added later.
The proposal also includes a clubhouse and lodge which would have 20 guest rooms for overnight accommodations and a dining room seating 50. The lodge, to be built of natural materials including log, cedar siding, and rock would also have an indoor pool and gymnasium. In addition the application asks for five house sites.
He said it will be two years before the golf course opens. Fox Creek Country Club is envisioned as a combination of a private membership club and recreation facility for the public. Dr. Rish said.
There will be special privileges for the lot owners, he said. Memberships will be available for others also with a membership cap, he suggested. Dr. Rish also said the lots and houses to be built on them may be sold on a “time share” basis.
