Schoolhouse Nine

Schoolhouse Nine Rappahannock County's first and only golf course. The design and business model are founded on sustainable values, standards and practices.

The Schoolhouse Nine Golf Course is a unique public nine hole Par 3 design based on interesting, artistic golf architecture and a responsible, resource efficient business model. The goals of the project are to provide fun sport for golfers of all skill levels, develop an ecologically rich landscape and to provide important social and economic benefits to the community. The golf course will consist

of nine Par 3 holes and a practice putting green. All non-play areas will be maintained as wildlife habitat focusing on quail habitat. Irrigated turfgrass areas will be limited to the ten putting greens. Tees, fairways and roughs will be managed without supplemental irrigation. The green areas total 1.4 acres. The tee, fairway and rough areas total approximately 12 acres. Approximately 12 acres of the proposed development are dedicated to wildlife habitat. The habitat areas are located on the north side of the property buffering the golf course from Lee Highway and the south side of the property creating a high quality wildlife habitat area adjacent to the Thornton River.

In Memoriam: A Gathering to Honor Ted

Friends of Ted invite you to join us for a special gathering to remember his life, this Monday, August 25th, from 4-7 PM at New Iberia Kitchen and Firth River Coffee, located at the Sperryville Marketplace.

While a larger celebration of life is planned for TeddyFest 3 in the spring of 2026, this will be a time for the community of friends and loved ones to come together and share memories. Bites and refreshments will be provided.

If you’d like, please feel free to bring a small item or trinket that reminds you of Ted. These will be collected and buried in his honor as part of a special tribute.

We hope you can join us to honor Ted’s memory.

We are deeply saddened to share the loss of our dear friend and neighbor, Teddy Pellegatta Jr.

Teddy spent countless hours in the golf shop — greeting visitors with his kindness, sharing his books, and filling the air with his songs. He was truly a staple of the Schoolhouse Nine, and his laughter, music, and creativity brought joy to everyone who crossed his path.

His art still hangs on our walls, a lasting reminder of his spirit. Though Teddy will be greatly missed, his presence will always be felt at the Schoolhouse Nine.

Our hearts are with all of his friends who loved him. ❤️

It’s with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and long-time U.S. Senator, Bennett Johnson. Beyond his years of dedicated service, Bennett was a man who brought warmth, humor, and a true sense of care to everyone around him. He gave so much to our country, but his love for the game of golf was something that brought him joy and peace. In 2024 alone, he played 222 rounds – a testament to his passion for both the sport and the connections he made along the way.

We’ll always remember Bennett for his kindness, his wisdom, and his unwavering commitment to his community. Rest easy, Senator. You will be deeply missed. 🏌️‍♂️💙
