Rating 71.2

Village Greens Golf Club sprawls across over 100 acres of what used to be farmland situated between Inman and Gramling. Remnants of the old farm can be seen throughout the course, including pear trees from the original orchard that line the 10th fairway. When the golf course was built in 1969, many new trees were planted but much care was taken so as not to obstruct the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, providing nearly every hole with views that stretch from Glassy Mountain to Chimney Rock. The layout has a classic design that is playable for a wide range of skill levels. Sparkling lakes and ponds accent the landscape, coming into play on a few holes. Village Greens Golf Club's most memorable water hole is the course's signature sixth. This short par 3 features a semi-island green that is surrounded by water on two sides, along with three bunkers and out-of-bounds on the right.

Booking issue

Golf now had multiple openings. I booked the earliest tee time around 715. After i paid the guy tells me they have an event that starts a 9 with a shotgun start. So i had under 2 hrs to play a round while having to wait for the greens crew to change pin locations. Knowing they had a shotgun start at 9 they should not have posted tee times that soon prior. I would have gotten a tee time at another course if i had known but at that point it was to late. Horrible experience probably won't play there again.

Much more friendlier this time than last. Not sure they got the one on our last trip but his attitude was not conducive to helping customers. A much, much better experience at the desk this time which made for a much better day overall.

Great layout.

Second time playing there. Fairways are hard and balls will roll out! But the course is in pretty good shape! Greens are also like putting on cement and extremely fast but they are well taken care of. Many holes for eagle putts if you place the ball in the right spots! Will play again. Just wish the greens want now like landing on cart path but that is what you get with red clay base.

Good Local Course

Played Village Greens for about the 3rd or 4th time on good Friday. Course is in decent shape for the time of year. Grass is starting to come in on fairways, greens, and tees. But its thin, and it has been pretty dry so fairways were relatively hard pan. You got a few thin lies here and there. Greens were ok. I thought the putting green was much faster than the greens on the course, and I struggled to consistently get the speed right the entire round. But they rolled fine. The pace of play on the front was about right. 2 hours or maybe just a hair under isnt bad at all on a busy holiday. However, on the back we hit a brick wall about hole 12. It was a long wait on every shot. The back took about an 2 hours and 45 minutes, and we were ready for it to be over by the time we got done. The course has an interesting layout of holes, a few that some might classify as goofy golf. But overall, it unique, interesting and fun.

Hole 1 is a shot sharp dogleg right par 5. It you are a long hitter you dont want to hit driver here unless you are willing to take it over the trees and OB right. The green slopes pretty hard from left to right.

Hole 2 is a sharp dogleg left par 4. Need a tee shot of about 200 yards to clear the dogleg.....but too much and it goes through the fairway into the pond on the other side.

Hole 3 is a short uphill par 4.

Hole 4 is a medium length par 4, trees left and water right really pinch in your landing area. Then its an uphill approach to a green guarded by bunkers on both sides.

Hole 5 is a shot par 5. Very reachable in 2 if you stay on the left center of the fairway.

Hole 6 is a short part 3. But all carry over a pond to a peninsula green.

Hole 7 is a shorter par 4, with a blind uphill tee shot and a downhill approach.

Hole 8 is another blind shot. You need to hit it about 225 off the white tees. Anything past the 150 rolls down the hill and at worst rolls into the water, or at best you have a steep downhill lie.

Hole 9 is a medium length par 3 to finish the 9.

Hole 10 is a medium length downhill par 4.

Hole 11 is a shorter par 3 to a hole that sits at an angle and is guarded by bunkers.

Hole 12 is the longest par 4 on the course, and slightly uphill but straight away.

Hole 13 is a little different. It is a short par 5 with a hard dogleg right. Again, a tee shot of around 200 yards is reguired unless you try to cut the corner. Then you play uphill to a green well guarded by bunkers and mounds.

14 is a straight away slightly downhill par 4.

15 Is a shorter par 3 but again all carry over a small pond to the green.

16 makes you decide. Lay up at the 150 (about 180 yards off the tee) or drive it over the creek. Either way its a tight driving hole, and the second shot plays steeply up hill.

17 is a short, tight, part 4 that moves left late in the hole.

18 Is a double dogleg long par 5. It goes right off the tee, and then hard left up the hill. Your layup shot has to be precise bc two ponds and a creek really pinch the landing area in.

In all, its not a bad course at all especially for the price. Once the weather warms up more the conditions will gradually improve, and the other times I have been there, the pace of play has been ok. So I would recommend you give it a shot.

Good course

I’m almost 60. I’ve played more golf at Village Greens than any other course. The course never disappoints. That being said, the guy at the counter taking money was about as rude as they get. I told him thank you twice just try to get a response. He should be thanking me for my business instead of being so gruff. Really brings down the rest of the place when your day starts off with a jerk. If that’s as friendly as he can be then he needs to do something else. I’m in sales. With that kind of attitude I’d be broke!

Grass finally growing in the fairways

Fairways have grass in them now. The greens are pretty fast but also receptive

Only hole I will complain about it 18 but that’s because it owns me every time

Overall the course is in great condition. Green side sand trap need sand badly- most are hard pan and you’ll be unable to stop ball on green.
