Slowest round of the season
The views here are hard to beat. It’s a challenging course with long par 3s. Big difference in the quality of the fairways between the front and back but greens were in great shape. Biggest reason for the review was pace a play. Total round was 5 hours and 20 min which is absolutely ridiculous and kills the round.

That was a fun ride!
Was heading home to Florida and wanted to play a few courses along the I 81 corridor. Guy in pro shop very accommodating and when we pulled up to the 1st tee I told my wife this is going to be a test. Drove to the top of hill and there sat a little green in the corner with a nice little water hazard daring you to play at the pin. Just a fantastic layout with the rest of the course! When you arrive to the 15th tee, you better have your focus on! What a hole! Grew up playing bentgrass greens and being from Fla. don't get a chance that much. Greens make your course and they were nice. Lots of ball marks only blemish, locals use your ball mark tools and move the grass from around the mark towards it or twist from outside in. Don't lift ballmark up! Will be back for sure!!

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're honored you chose to include us as one of your stops along the I-81 corridor on your way back to Florida. We're glad our pro shop team helped get your day started on the right foot, and it sounds like the course delivered exactly the kind of challenge you were looking for! Holes like #1 and especially #15 have certainly earned a reputation for testing golfers, so we're thrilled you enjoyed the layout. We also appreciate your comments about the greens and your helpful reminder about repairing ball marks. Our maintenance team works hard to keep the bentgrass greens rolling true, and proper ball mark repair from everyone goes a long way in preserving their quality. Thank you again for your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back the next time your travels bring you through the area. Safe travels, and we'll see you again soon!

Good course. Good Value
Got a Dealtime on TeeOff for $69 which is a bargain these days.
Course was in pretty good shape.
Greens were pretty hard and fast considering we had several days of rain in the past week.
Tee boxes were a little beat up and fairways were pretty decent.
Overall a fun course and good value.

Unique, challenging layout.
Wonderful mountain golf course with excellent turf conditions considering the extreme volume of play they get. Greens have more unfixed pitch marks than I’ve ever personally seen but that’s more on uneducated players than the course itself. They still roll fast and true. This course will test every aspect of your game. Play one tee forward and enjoy.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the course and found the conditions to be excellent, especially considering the amount of play we see. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding pitch marks on the greens—our team works hard to maintain smooth putting surfaces, and player cooperation definitely makes a difference. It’s great to know the greens were still rolling fast and true. We love your advice about moving up a tee and enjoying the experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another challenging and memorable round soon!

Summer Day in Spring for Golf
Really summer like day for mid-April in Virginia and the course was very busy affecting pace of play, but not too slow just a few waits. Fairways were in good shape and greens were well groomed and had good speed. Was a great day to be on the course.

Fast Greens
The course was in modest shape for this time of the year, doing work on some tee boxes, spreading manure etc. but still a great day of golf. The greens were smooth and quick! 4:45 round for mid l-day on a Thursday is abysmal in my book but whatever. Love the course layout:
