Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club

My courses are opening up in a few days, glad I made the trip down to Virginia today. Everything was groomed. Only negative thing I can say, is people could take time to fix there ball marks. I loved the course, fast greens, nice cut fairways and plenty of scenery!!!

Let the range finder get me on the front but started playing smarter on the back and trusting the range finder and the slope difference.

First time playing here and couldn't have been happier. The course was in phenomenal shape, the pace of play was very fast, and I don't think the value can be beat. The course makes you think a little bit, which I like. You'll be punished for making stupid plays. The blend of elevation, shot strategy, and layout makes this very enjoyable. Don't be discouraged if your first round isn't a great one because the lay of the land definitely takes one round to get used to. I'll definitely be coming back out here for a round very soon. Keep up the great work!

We tees off at 1:42 and played in a little over 3 hours as a threesome. The course is not in prime summer conditions but it’s only April. Comparing to other courses in the area, it is in top notch shape. Greens were punched a few weeks ago and they are healed up. Fairways are green and lush. The layout is really fun and challenging. Highly recommend playing this course.

Beautiful course, fair price, friendly service, great maintenance

Enjoyed my round today! Course was in good shape and pace of play was great (sub 4 hour round). I will be back!

Very good value and variety of holes. A lot of elevation changes would make this very tough to walk.

Played at Blue Ridge Shadows numerous times over the winter. Nice layout with plenty of elevation changes. Greens were recently aerated with small tynes but rolled nicely. Course is starting to green up. Always enjoy playing at Blue Ridge.

Love it on this trip the manager said we could start a little early because a large group was tee off on 1. Worked out great,had a outstanding pace of play and we always had a empty hole behind us. We would like to say thank you to. Him.

Uphills and downhills and doglegs mixed in. Greens are flawless and staff are outstanding! 18th hole is signature

It’s February and it’s really just great to be able to play. The bunkers were battered, and there was casual water everywhere, but it’s February. You know? It’s a fun track and playing from the tips is a great challenge. Enjoyed it immensely

This golf course is clearly the best kept secret, i have been playing golf over twenty years around Maryland and Virginia . Tee to the green almost perfect, not a bold spot on the course even in the winter months. It's clearly hands down best value for your buck in Virginia period.

The course has some very interesting hole starting with #1. The course is beautifully laid out and always in great shape no matter what season you are playing there. We travel approximately 65 miles in the winter. Because it is warmer than where we live and the course is n great shape. The people here are so nice!

I've played this course about a dozen times this year starting in mid-summer, most recently this cool October morning. It has a combination of factors that make it, for me, the hands down choice in this area. First and most importantly for me, the course is in amazing condition, EVERYWHERE:

Tee boxes - generous in area, level, elevated, and high quality turf;

Fairways -so PLUSH; the turf quality of these fairways is far superior to anything I've played this year, including the better courses in this area and a couple of resort courses in the Williamsburg area. The fairways are FAIR, meaning, it's not that hard to find them off the tee.

Bunkers (nice white sand, consistent throughout the course, and drain well)

Greens - WOW. WOW. They roll fast and true, but they are NOT hard-pan, they hold approach shots very well.

The field crew is very considerate and friendly, as are the clubhouse guys.

About the layout. The first couple of rounds here are intimidating; Every hole has a forced carry, and every green is protected with a sand or water hazard. That said, my 15 index game can still settle into an enjoyable round. This course makes you learn to make good decisions, or else suffer. Like all good/great courses, the design offers you a way to play it, but you have to respect what's going to happen to you if you fail to pay attention or disregard risks.

The par 3's merit their own review: they are long. Not going to be a place to make up for a blowout on the prior hole.

Overall, I recommend this course to everyone, especially those who would be able to play it several times, because I think it deserves the effort to get to know it a little.
