Host Aaron Wells, GCS welcomes you to Belmont Country Clubs, an Arnold Palmer design club. Belmont's Manor House was once part of the vast land holdings of Lord Fairfax, built in the 1790s by the son of a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The name Belmont means "beautiful mountains" in French, and the course has great views of the Shenandoah Mountains.
