Massanutten Resort - Mountain Greens Course

Quality services and great Mountain View.. however, course is narrow!

This is mountain golf in its purest form, there are so many picturesque tee boxes and greens but that also comes in hand with a lot of gnats so bring your big spray. From the tips This course can eat a right hander(with a slight slice) alive. The greens are quick but when they tell you that everything runs away from the mountain you quickly learn that your eyes will deceive you and to always play the ball with half a yard of room on the mountain side of the green. Overall I would definitely reccomend the course to any skilled golfer, but don’t be mad when you lose a few sleeves.

This golf course is more suitable for an experienced golfer. It definitely required a great deal of shot strategy. I would not recommend it for a beginning or infrequent golfer. Massanutten Resort has a valley course less experienced golfers will find more enjoyable. I personally loved playing this course and would rate it as one of the best mountain courses in the Shenandoah Valley. It was in very good condition, the greens were holding and medium speed.

Booked a Thursday round for $75 with cart. At the bag drop the assistant explained the no outside cooler ‘rule’. Then he asked us to move the vehicle due to the Restuarant. The assistant then followed me back to my car to ensure I wasn’t sneaking anything. The pro at the desk was very apologetic and gave us a small discount. ($30). The course was as empty as I have seen in years.

The course is challenging. Middle of fairway shots frequently end up in trouble. The lower course was much more accommodating.

First time on the mountain and was very impressed. Will definitely play again. Beautiful views and best fairways around.

Great course tee boxes need work rest of course was great

Lots of different shots you can get punished for good shots sometimes

You needed to know where to hit your shots

mountain course with much slope.

The greens were good but a bit slow.

Many deer and woodchucks on the course, but they didn't bother anything.

It was enjoyable to play but you had to know where to

hit it.

People in from of us were horrible. Golf isn't an easy sport especially playing on a mountain. Ten to eight shots from one woman and these guys wouldn't say go through,so I had to skip holes to find no one in front of them

Pace of play was horrific. Conditions were not what I would expect for what I was charged. Course layout was OK for subdivision golf. Course does have good Mountain View’s.

We get to the course, assuming it’s $50, but the man working behind the counter only charged us $32 for being JMU students! Super friendly and funny staff, gave us great tips about the course, and even though I was in the 90s, I enjoyed the challenge for my first time playing there. Will definitely be back soon.

The course is different, hill side and not in great condition.

We really enjoyed the scenery and wildlife around the course. The course management is a must when thinking where you drive and the outcome with the slopes on the fairways, made it interesting. We thought some of the views were beautiful.

2 days prior I played the Woodside Meadows course and was very disappointed with the fairway conditions. I had high hopes that it would be better at this regular, par 72 course. I was again disappointed. The fairway conditions were as tall as you would expect in a rough. I was forced to club up like I normally do when hitting from the rough. At $75 a round ths was again a big disappointment. See the attached photos for some idea of the length of the fairway cut.

The course itself is very nice and picturesque. The fairways are indeed very tight in some places as other reviews have mentioned. The first hole is unusually tight at about 200 yards. It is only 20 to 25 yards wide. Thread a needle on this one.

Greens were a bit slow and with multiple tiers putting was at a premium. I normally use 32 putts a round on average and had 37 on this course. Could be user error or just not able to really adjust to the speed. But not all fairways were that tight and some were actually quite generous. Driving wasn't really the problem. It was the second shot to the green from the rough in the center of the fairway that caused the most problems.

One nice memory from the course was seeing deer all around. I guess they were used to having people in golfers around as they would just look at you and not run away immediately.

Myself and five friends played on Monday 9/27/2021. VSGA card clearly states play Monday- Thursday from March- October is $27 per round. Play Friday thru Sunday is $32. The course refused to honor the $27 rate even though we played on a Monday. My disappointment here is not the $5. My concern is the arrogant position the staff took to try to justify the reason.

Interesting and very hilly course above Massanutten Resort. Many holes blind to the greens. If you hit a draw, you'll like the layout, but you need to hit your driver very accurately, and you may want to move up to the next set of tees. Some fairways are very narrow and unforgiving if you miss them. Plenty of woods, steep drop-offs and meandering streams border several fairways to often vary small greens. Overall conditions when we played were average, and it was apparent they had a great deal of rain recently. Fairways were soft, and some areas mushy. I would be willing to try it again, but the worst part was - it was absolutely the "buggiest" course I've ever played. We used strong bug repellant - to little or no effect. Often, as you addressed the ball, the bugs were swarming around your head. The next day, I had bug bites around my head and on my legs. Was not a pleasant experience. Still, not a bad day.
