Great hidden gem

This is a great course only about 1 1/2 hours out of DC..As it is off the beaten path, not many of my golfing buddies here in the District hve heard about it but I am passing the word now. We love this course.

Great Course - Best in the Area!!

I'm an avid golfer and been playing this course for a few years. It went through a tough period and ownership change a few years ago. I've played the course twice this year and it was in excellent condition! The staff is always kind, courteous, and willing to please!! I played with my son, we really wanted to play as a twosome and not be paired up with anyone, they accommodated us without question. Compared to all other courses in this area, I have this one ranked as the top because of challenge, condition, staff service, and pace of play. I know it's going to be a challenging and fun round every time I'm scheduled to play Blue Ridge Shadows!!

Hot day.

Course was in good shape except for spots on their greens. They are having keeping grass in spots due to the severe slopes. Even with no grass in spots they rolled very well. Very nice views from elevated tee boxes. Fortunately there is shade along the edges of the course to stay cool in extreme heat.

Nice Course

I rode a cart while my husband played. It is a pretty golf course with amazing views. My husband said it was in good condition. They have had a lot of rain and we had to stay on the cart path on three holes but it wasn't a problem all.

Lots of wildlife to see. I took pictures of deer, foxes playing on the side of the fairway.

It's a nice place and my husband said it is a good golf course to play and the price was really good.

We live near D.C and its half the price of courses there. The hotel is nice too.

Poor and rude service

When I arrived I was given a cart and put w another group to play with. When we were about to start our round I was told I had to give my cart back and ride w someone else. I requested to keep my own cart due to possible bad weather coming in the area and that I was not feeling well and prob wouldn’t play all 18 holes . I was denied that request and told that I had to share a cart or not be allowed to play.

The person they were putting me with was sitting on his cart smoking cigarettes which I did not like either .

I tried again and again to get my own cart but the pro shop people were rude and said I had only paid for half a cart !! They said play by our rules or leave.

It almost got physical .

The guy who I was teamed with also said he wanted his own cart but they made us ride together or said leave.

The worse customer service ever!!

Mr. Myers, thank you for playing at Blue Ridge Shadows this past weekend, and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We apologize that you did not feel that you were taken care of, however, what you were asking simply goes against our policy when it comes to issuing golf carts. You see, there is an expense involved in sending every golf cart out that we must account for. There is the gas that goes into the golf carts, as well as the labor hours it takes to clean and maintain them after the round. Also, there is there wear and tear that the carts go through during the round itself that has to be factored in. Therefore, when we have individuals (single players) that are paired together, we do not make it a policy to give individual golfers, separate carts. We noticed that your round was purchased on a Hot Deal. The adherence to the above-outlined policy allows us to try and keep our expenses in-line, so we can continue to allow players to play for reduced fees in the middle of the day on a Sunday (when our regular rates are $45). Also, the gentleman that you were paired with made no such request, to have his own golf cart, as he was asked by staff to confirm your claim that he did. We understand that you were upset that your request was denied, however, we will put our staff's record for customer service and the feedback that we receive here on Golf Advisor for that (Staff Friendliness) from a vast majority of our customers up against any course in the area. Again, we thank you for your feedback and invite you to reach out to us with any further concerns.

Fun yet challenging

First hole is a downhill dogleg left. Stay right or you are in trouble. Very picturesque, the views are incredible! The greens rolled very consistent with some speed. My favorite hole has to be #14. First ever “S” style fairway to green. With some brush hazard to split the middle and a great approach shot of a small creek. Choose your shots wisely. I can’t wait to play there again!!!

Worth the drive

Drove out to Blue Ridge from D.C. on a Saturday morning, snagged first tee time so pace was not an issue. Greens rooted true and course in great shape despite the huge amount of rain during the past week. Of course an added bonus is the fifty or sixty dollar price difference from playing in the DC area.

Good Day

Course is in really good condition. might be the condition of any course I've played so far this season. bunkers fluffy. can still see marks on the greens but did not affect putts. fairways are the nicest in the area right now. pace of play was average for a nice Sunday. lot of elevation change and all par 3s over 180 yards. overall definitely recommend this course and hope i can get out there again.

Course is in rather rough condition: greens recently aerated and sanded; and the fairways have not yer recovered from the winter. Bunkers were in excellent condition.

Overall: it was a good value.

Great Value for a Decent course

I’ll make it simple.. you can’t get a deal like this a course as decent as this one .. as we all know how expensive golf fee can be in the D.C metropolitan area. Especially,l a nicer and modern day design course. It’s a little bit of drive (approximately 45 min. from Fairfax, VA), but it’s worth every bit of it. The the layout & course condition is nice, the green fees are awesome and the staffs are always friendly. Don’t hesitate to make a trip out here because you won’t regret it and I am certain of that. ..You won’t go wrong at the Blue Ridge Shadows, folks !
