Kilmarnock Sports & Outdoors Tips by grandmaR

Private Indian Creek Country Club

As we left Kilmarnock, I thought I saw what might be a golf course on the shore of the creek. And when I looked it up, I found that there actually IS a private golf course on the shores of Indian Creek.

The golfing website (below) says:

This flat course is located alongside the Chesapeake Bay, which comes into play on five holes. The small greens are hard to read, and the fairways are narrow.

Chesapeake Boat Basin

We've been here twice, and enjoyed it the first two times. The bathrooms/showers are sparkling clean and newly decorated. There is a lounge with cable TV and a marine store. The marina also does outboard work and has a boat ramp.

The town (2 traffic lights) is about a mile and a half down the road if you want to walk.

They also have bikes which you can use, although it is all uphill to town. We got a ride into town to for dinner.

Unfortunately the last time we were there, we found that the internet connection in the lounge was gone, and they would no longer take you into town for dinner. Even the nicest bathroom doesn't make up for those deficiencies.

Equipment: Only a short run to the Chesapeake/ICW. From the Chesapeake to the creek entrance - 1.7 nm and from the creek entrance to the marina - 2.8 nm. Approach depth 12 feet at low tide.

Since we were there, there has been added a 1600sqft Ship's Store, New Gas and Diesel fueling systems and a dinghy dock. (There is a protected anchorage near this marina.)

BOAT/U.S. Cooperating Marina. With the BoatUS discount our slip fee was $1/ft and the electricity was $4.00
Summer/Fall Hours 7 Days a Week 8:00am-5:00pm

Address: 1686 Waverly Ave., Kilmarnock, VA 22482

Directions: Indian Creek off Fleet Bay- Go to marker #12 -from there you can see the grain silos back of the marina which is on your port.
