Best course in the area!!!

Amazing layout, course care/maintenance just keeps getting better and better! Looking forward to the spring as well as the rest of the season this year! One of the best and challenging layouts and you can't beat the views! Keep your eyes out for Rickie Fowler on the 12th hole (he's watching your every shot)!!!

MUST PLAY course!!! Great value!!!

Great course....accommodating staff

Arrived an hour before our tee time and the starter told us they were running behind due to a frost delay. He suggested coming back in 2 hrs which suited us well because the back up would be resolved and it would be significantly warmer. Re-arrived about 1 1/2 hrs later and we were given the option to go off the back 9 first which worked out really well. Pace of play about 3 hrs for 18 with that simple suggestion.

The course was in good shape considering the inclement weather the week prior. This course has a bunch of elevation changes and is very scenic on virtually every hole. This is a must play when the weather turns too cold to play in PA so we make the trip often when we see a warm day or two.

Hilly, narrow and windy

The course layout rewards accuracy over distance. Water hazards are relatively few in number, but positioned so as to force some hard decisions for most intermediate golfers. The hilly terrain means that many shots will be played with the ball above or below foot level. Winds from the west will affect many tee-shots, since the tee boxes are often placed on crests. Greens were firm, but collar and approach areas on many holes were a bit soggy, complicating the choice of short irons. Several holes offered excellent vistas of the surrounding mountainsides.

Challenging course and in great shape for this time of year! Some tricky corners and hills make this a favorite. Ball placement over distance is key on many holes. Staff is great, clubhouse is very nice.

Layout has everything

Downhill shots, uphill shots, flat holes, hilly holes, holes with vistas, blind tee shots, elevated tees....course has all of those. Some bunker maintenance playing as ground under repair; don’t hit it there! Other than that, course in great condition. A refreshing departure from the mundane.

Blue Ridge Shadows is Back

I played this course almost weekly a few years ago. Was a member.. Always enjoyed it. But then it went extremely downhill and I stopped playing there. Probably haven't played at the Shadows for two years until today. Saw that the reviews were improving and thought I'd give it a try so talked my foursome into going. I was very pleased. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens A+. Greens were fast and very challenging. With the exception of a few traps it was in excellent shape. They have rehabbed some of the traps and they are filled with white sand. One disappointment was that the signature waterfall on 18 was not running.

Will definitely start frequenting this course again and will tell my golfing friends to do the same.

Layout is a lot fun and challenging

We always enjoy playing at Blue Ridge Shadows. The course was in great shape, most of the bunkers have been redone. Staff is very friendly, the grill serves good food. Course was very crowded, but pace was fine. We are glad some of the wild areas have been mowed.

Good for the money.

The course was good for a $30-35 weekday rate. Tee boxes are a little rough and they are still repairing some bunkers from over a year ago. Greens were in pretty good shape. Golf carts not charged and the guy in the club house told me not to worry about the battery light but we had issues getting up the hills toward the end of the round.

Thank you for your kind words and feedback. Now that aerification is over, we will turn our focus to finishing the last 4 holes of the bunker project, so hopefully you can make it back out before the end of the season to see the finished product. Also, we apologize if the cart was giving you some trouble towards the end of your round but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.

Thank you for playing here at Blue Ridge Shadows recently, we appreciate you coming out to the course and taking the time to share your experience. In regards to your comments about the traps, we are in the middle of a sand trap renovation project. All the traps on the course have been fixed, with the exception of holes 4-7. The process has taken quite some time, but doing it in-house (as we have done), has allowed us to save quite a bit in terms of expenses. This has allowed us to reinvest in newer (and much needed) equipment that has given our maintenance staff the opportunity to be more efficient and provide overall better playing conditions (fairways, greens, rough, & tees) to our guests than the previous two seasons. It is unfortunate that you did not enjoy your day with us. Still, we are making progress daily and the golf course has come a very long way since last summer. Now that aerification is over, we will turn our focus to finishing the last 4 holes of the bunker project, so hopefully you can make it back out before the end of the season to see the finished product. Again, thank you for your past support of the club and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Great course

This is a great course if you're in the Front Royal/Winchester area. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. I've not eaten there, but the menu seems quite nice. The course is filled with beautiful vistas. It is a very challenging course with lots of elevation changes and water hazards. Some long par 4's, a par 3 crossing a ravine and going uphill. While it can be intimidating for a beginner like me it still offers an enjoyable time. Definitely a course you need to check out.
