Nestled in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, on the shores of Smith Mountain Lake, Mariners Landing is a resort community and country club with more than 1,000 rolling acres. Mariners Landing is one of the most picturesque year-round destinations with a 18-hole Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course, lakeside resort, country club amenities and an inviting community. The Club boasts an 18-hole championship golf course designed by the late Robert Trent Jones Sr., newly renovated Pro Shop with private dining and full-service bar, driving range, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and a state-of-the-art Wellness Center. Members are invited to enjoy weekly introductory fitness, tennis, and pickleball classes. Mariners Landing Country Club promotes outdoor recreation and encourages members to live life outdoors.
The property was originally farmland, purchased by Jim Wray, who dubbed the property Deerwood Pointe. In the late 80’s the golf course and community were designed by the renowned team of Lewis Clark, Robert Trent Jones Sr., and Joe Sonderman. The property was purchased in the early 90’s and rebranded as Mariners Landing. The development was expanded to provide offerings such as single-family homes, townhomes, and condos; later establishing a means for rental accommodations and resort amenities. The Mariners Landing Golf & Resort Community was born.
Commercial Developers Waller Perrow and Tom Branch purchased the development in May of 2020, founding the Mariners Landing Country Club (MLCC) and Mariners Landing Development Company (MLDC). Perrow and Branch have a vision that all owners, members, and guests should have full access to the facilities for their enjoyment. This inclusivity has created a more cohesive community and also bolstered property values.
