The Olde Farm Remembers
In Memoriam
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”
Forever Part of The Olde Farm
We honor the members, friends and loved ones whose lives helped shape the history and spirit of The Olde Farm. Their friendship, leadership, generosity and shared experiences remain woven into the traditions of our Club.
James Woodrow
“Jim” McGlothlin
June 18, 1940–August 6, 2025
The Olde Farm stands as an enduring reflection of Jim McGlothlin’s vision. He imagined a place where excellence in golf would be matched by genuine hospitality, meaningful friendships and an unmistakable sense of belonging.
Through his leadership, generosity and unwavering commitment to quality, Jim transformed that vision into a remarkable Club. Yet his greatest legacy is found not only in the course and facilities, but in the traditions, relationships and lasting memories created here.
Jim’s impact reached far beyond The Olde Farm. His philanthropy, entrepreneurial spirit and devotion to Southwest Virginia improved countless lives and inspired others to see what might be possible.
His vision created The Olde Farm. His values will continue to guide it.
