Hermitage Country Club is a country club located in eastern Goochland County, in the Richmond, Virginia area. The club was founded in 1900 by Berkely Williams, making it the 4th oldest country club in Virginia. The club hosted the PGA Championship in 1949, at the course that later became Henrico County's Belmont Golf Course. Sam Snead won his second PGA Championship that year with a 3&2 victory over Johnny Palmer in the final match. The club remains the only club from Virginia to have hosted a major championship.
