About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6964 yards
Slope 146
Rating 74.3

There are 27 holes of championship golf available at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club. They are divided into three nines, naturally named Blue, Ridge and Trail, that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The holes have an advantageous setting amidst mountains and trees, offering both privacy and scenery. The setting is made even more peacefully secluded by the fact that there are no parallel fairways throughout the entire golf course. The holes were carefully carved from the forests and hillsides, providing each nine with a different character. With four water holes, the Ridge/Trail combination has the most water of any of the courses. There are also strategically placed bunkers throughout but the towering, mature trees present the most formidable challenges. The course starts off rather gently with the player-friendly Ridge, but becomes progressively more difficult on the back nine.

Great conditions for fall

Conditions were very good. Most holes had very little leaves on the fairway and green. Weather was perfect, did not play so well but I can't blame that on the course.

Annual Fall Trip

We travel from 3 hours away to play a couple of rounds in the area. Each year we play here. Could not have enjoyed a round more. Weather was spectacular, 80F in late October. We did pick the days based on weather! Course is in great shape, very firm with how dry it's been. We've always found it to be a terrific place to play with 3 nice 9's. Especially enjoy the Ridge 9. Plenty of challenging yet different holes. Greens were fast but fair and in excellent conditions everywhere. Shout out to the guys with the leave blowers 'fighting a losing battle,' but making a big different the day we played.

Amazing course but lacks because of pace

No matter what time of day you go here no matter the season, it seems like pace of play is always poor. One should not have to wait 5-10 minutes on every hole before taking their next shot. This goes for the early tee times as well as the packed twilight rounds. Even if the parking lot is empty on a weekday morning, it still somehow manages to be backed up on pace. If they solved this the course would be so much better

Way too slow

I had a tee time before 7:00 and this was the longest pre-7:00 round I’ve ever experienced and it was solely because this course doesn’t know how to manage a tee sheet with their 3 9s. We played the front in under 2 hours we get to the 10th tee and it’s a standstill. Every hole on the back 9 we watched the 2 groups in front of us play the hole and saw 2 groups on the hole behind us. Didn’t think the groups in front of us played slow at all. This course overloads the tee sheet and pushes players off before you at the turn. It’s a shame it’s a nice, fun, and reasonably priced course but hitting a wall after the turn was a horrible experience. If people cant play a 4 hour round at this course teeing off before 7:00, I can’t imagine what the pace the rest of the day looks like.

Horrible crew of starters

Went as a single today tee time was at 8am arrived at 7:30 checked into club house as I’m leaving the older Italian guy was radioing out to the starter guys at the carts letting them know I’m on my way out that I’m a single and they need to get me out asap. When I walk down the sidewalk to get my cart the guys pulling it up rushing me telling me I have to hurry they going to pair me up with a duo. I wasn’t able to warm up with acouple practice putts I wasn’t able to stretch I had to run as I’m getting my clubs from the car the guys waving his arms at me like I’m late that I need to hurry so I looked at the time and it was 7:43! 17 minutes before my tee time. I got to the front and the starter jumped into my cart and started almost yelling at me to go catch up with a group that just teed off so what I don’t get to start at hole 1? Not sure put I thought golf was a game of patience being that I’m rushed how am I supposed to have a good round especially after being treated not right by nasty older guys. I figured they have 27 holes should be no problem getting ppl out I guess the older brains don’t work as well as the youngin. Played blue ridge many many time bunch of tournaments great place but sad to say I will not be going back for the simple reason of nasty, rude completely uncalled for rushing and adding of ppl.

Also not the only on it happed to as we’re in the middle of hole 2 the starters drove another single down to pair up with me bad enough I lost 1 hole he had to lose 2 after paying for 18 something has to be done about this the rudeness of the older guys is disgusting the young bucks never had a problem always nice and courteous
