Village Greens Golf & Country Club

About
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.

Very nice course. Just needs a layout map of how the course goes. First time there. Did wonder how some of the holes shifted over hills. Did get some pointers from the club house attendant. He told us about some of the tricky ones. Very nice gentleman.
Overall a good experience. Will play it again!
Nice Course
Nice public course for the cost. Pace of play is not great, tee times are 8 min apart.
Tee times every 8 minutes???
The course had posted “expected play time of 2 hours and 15 minutes per 9.” That’s a 4:30 round…. And yes, 15 minutes per hole…
Hole 1 - par 5. (Yep, tee times every 8 minutes works)
Hole 2 - short par 4 - sharp dogleg left.
4 groups playing hole 2. One on the green, one on the fairway, 2 foursomes waiting on the tee…. 25 minutes to play that hole…
First 3 holes took 1 hour…
5:45 minute round…
Why tee times every 8 minutes? To stuff the course with players, collect the cash $, ruin your day!
Village Greens, do the math…. Why 8 minute tee times???
Overall worthwhile for the money
Village Greens has always been consistently in good shape. The greens were very fast although they didn't look it and the overall course condition was good. Fairways were firm and lots of grass to tear up!
The staff has NEVER been friendly so we just know that when we go out there. Other than that, great round for the money.
Course looking really good.
Most of the tee boxes are in good shape, some of the Whites could use some help/actual grass. All the fairways are in great shape, even the first cut rough is great. Most of the greens are perfect but some, mainly because they are in low lying areas, are patchy. The course is, overall, very pretty and well kept/ maintained. Challenging at times with some blind shots but forgiving all the same. I would like to see the stairs to the boxes rebuilt on the ones that have stone falling apart and the railroad ties that are decaying. I love the challenge of all the water throughout the course…intimidating yet fun to hit shots over them. The club house is excellent as well as the practice range and putting/chipping green.
Still good
Greens are aerated but still rolled decent.
About 3 of the greens had new sod cuts away from the hole.
All of the par 5's except for 18 are basically par 4's. The entire course is extremely short (Barely over 6k yards from the back).
Only a few blind shots, mostly off the tee but it's a fun course to go back to and be aggressive.
Super easy overall, you have to miss pretty badly to get into trouble.
Beautiful condition
One of my favorite courses in the area. Grounds crew should be very proud of the work they’ve put in, it really shows on a Sunday morning. Only issue we had was staff-related. Called the clubhouse to place an order at the turn, we were told the kitchen guy didn’t come in yet. That happens, no big deal. We went directly from the 9th to the 10th since the grill was closed. Apparently the group in front of us took a long break at the turn. They ended up behind us and bottlenecked the course a bit. The Ranger was pretty rude for a beautiful Sunday morning. Exclaimed we needed to pick up the pace. We played 18 in 3 hours and 44 minutes. Just recommend the Rangers know what they’re talking about before they jump on paying customers. We will certainly be back and we will certainly recommend.
