Love the design of this course, in above avg. shape for Nov.

Played as a single in less than 3 hours, as there were very few groups out on a cloudy day (no rain). The fairways were in great shape, the greens too other than a few unseemly ball marks on each hole (not the course's fault, FIX YOUR BALL MARKS people!). I really loved the design of the course as it always keeps changing elevations and directions. I'll be back, keep up the good work maintenance staff.

october at blue ridge shadows

Great Day! Course is pretty good. With all the rain the rough is very rough and not mowed evenly. Some of the greens have been damaged by mowing too short and it will take months for these areas to recover. Back nine played really slow. Either an extra group jumped in someone took a long lunch and backed up many groups.

Very nice layout!

Played this course with my GF and we both enjoyed it very much. Challenging and varied holes. Greens were in decent shape, but fairly slow as I am used to Maryland National where I am a member. Would definitely play here again! $16 on GolfNow can't be beat!!!!

Challenging layout

Fairways and greens were in good shape. Rough was 50% crabgrass. Not a course for beginners, very tight in places with some extreme elevation changes. Some have commented on the quality of the scenery but I found the cheap housing on the course unattractive. The scenery is better at SVGC or even Bowling Green.

Will play again

Really liked this course. It was challenging, but fair! the greens were Airiated which made them bumpy and more difficult to read, but want to play here again when the green are"normal". Water hazards made it difficult but again it was fair. Traffic noise was less than desirable and hotel guests on # 16 distracted play. Lots of ups and downs and the Loupold rangefinder came in very handy at times. # 10 is a two club longer distance uphill. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. Starter was helpful for a first timer.

Backl 9 closed for aerification

Nice course. Unfortunately, through GolfNow there was no warning that the greens on the front nine had just been aerified and that the back nine was closed for aerification. A real disappointment to drive more than an hour to play the front nine twice with greens that were un-puttable.

Rained half the round

Great course. We did get paired up with another twosome due to a tournament starting an hour after we did. It is challenging to play, some tight fairways. Great course though for the price and the challenge.

Little slow but course is good value

This course could be a great one if they allowed the greens to firm up and roll a bit more true and they monitored the pace of play. Although it was my first time here, the course was well marked and should not have required the 5+ hours it took to play. On every tee box there was a 3-8 minute wait. Requests to on course PA did nothing.

So close yet so far!

wet but wonderful

The course was wet, so it was cart path only. That naturally slowed pace of play. The dampness did not hurt play as much as my inconsistent swing. I already have a tee time for Monday.

a great course but early in the season

What a ride this course was. I hope to return to play it when the conditions are good. The topography was very interesting and the ly of the land unforgiving....

Defintely Prefer Windless

Several holes are very targeted; course layout is awesome. Level of difficulty increases exponentially with winds from 11mph with gust of 25 and >. Non fare way hits will take their toll.

Solid

For March the course was in good shape. The Shadows is one of the premier courses in the Shenandoah Valley - you owe it to yourself to come out for a round.
