Golfer Reviews
Challenging course ... worth the drive
This course is a little off the beaten path but worth the drive. Really good layout and scenery and course conditions. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
Only nit would be that several of the greens are very penal (extreme slope and undulations) which while challenging, were borderline unfair if above the hole
Highly recommend this course.
The Highlands 7/25
Course is very hilly. There are a few holes from the tee you don't know where the green is. It wasn't a big deal, but it's one of those courses that you need to play once to get a feel where every thing is located.
Course was in excellent condition. Greens were a little slow, but that was due to the heat.
Staff was very friendly.
When in the area will play again.
Gem
Great course. Beautiful views. Don’t leave yourself above the hole! Downhill-downgrain is impossible to stop and it was a lot fun.
Great Day!
My first time playing this course and I'd like to do it again. The course was in great shape, but the greens a bit different than what I'm used to. They are pretty slow, but I understand they let them get a bit longer to help hold shots.
If it's your first time, make sure you get the card that shows you the layout of the holes, as it's not part of the score card. We didn't know that before playing and didn't get that card. So, there were several holes where we had no idea where the hole was from the tee box, as there are many holes you can't see "tee to green." That hole layout card would have been very helpful.
Overall, a very solid golf day on a beautiful course, and I look forward to going back. I highly recommend it.
Hidden Gem
This course was a great find. Was a rainy overcast day with low cloud cover, but still great conditions with spectacular views. If you’re close by, it is a must play. I was the only person on the course so my pace of play was spectacular.
Not course related but Verizon users beware, I had no phone service in the area so if you are used to playing music during a round make sure you download load your tunes before you get there. I was coming from Harrisonburg and loss reception close to entering The George Washington Park area.
I had to drive a hour and half to play this course but i can say it was definitely worth the drive. Everything was up to par with this course!!! Would definitely recommend this course and i will definitely be back very soon!!!!!
Beautiful mountain course
Great reviews led me to check out this course. Whatever you gather from the previous reviews is what you get. Great conditions, great pace, dramatic layout. Greens, you'll have to adjust to but I understand why they're kept a little long to compensate for the pitch. If you play it correct tactically you can score, if you're greedy you might put up a number. I'd reckon the lake around island green is #1 for lost balls in the region. Also staff is super friendly, great people. Absolutely recommended even factoring in 2+ hour drive to the course. And if you drive from the east, bring your fun car for the mountain pass on 33. Will be putting this place in rotation for sure.
Just West if Harrisonburg and I 81
A very beautiful and challenging mountain course with fabulous greens and fairways. I have been told it might be the best kept secret in WVA golf...and possibly the toughest!
Great price for a wonderful up in the mountains experience. We try to play every time we are close! One of our favorite golf courses anywhere.
Overall a good place to play
Have played there several times, and overall it's a fun day. The course was overall in good shape except for the bunkers, they could use some work. We just usually treat them as waste areas or GUR, and keep going. We will definitely go back.
It's still great
This course is so out of the way it gets little play. They have stopped caring for the sand to save cash it looks like. We just called them ground under repair and dropped out . Still I would play this course over most. Great layout and no crowds. We saw one other group all day and played at 9 am
Greens very Sloped and grainy. If they cut them and rolled them you would 3 putt most all of them. It was going to be a golf course community, the abandoned sales center is still in the clubhouse. I hope it survives and houses get built someday. In the meantime go find it and enjoy a round at your own private course. There were 3 cars in the parking kitchen we arrived
Unbelievable
Had fun as always
Enjoyable layout in pretty good shape. Greens could have been a touch faster, but that's minor. We'll definitely go back. The only thing I would say is they've let the bunkers go, they're more like waste areas now, not sure if that's intentional or not.
Bang for your buck
Course in great shape even after recent rains. Greens rolled true but predictably slow due to undulation. Fairways mostly in great shape, with a few bad spots here and there. Rough thick, lush, and challenging. Only knock on the course: the bunkers. All filled with water and no sand, just pebbles. Suggestion would be to eliminate them completely. Layout and undulation of greens/elevation changes makes the course a good enough test without having bunkers. Also, yardage markers in the fairways would be helpful. GPS Apps do not work, since there is little to no service. Beautiful course. Love playing there when visiting West Virginia.
Wet
My nephew and I played the course a day after there was 2 inches of rain. No golf course plays very well after absorbing that much water. While I have played this course a few times and understood the challenge of putting on the greens, My nephew thought he would shoot par or less on the course. Needless to say he walked away very humbled. I average 1.7 to 1.8 putts per hole but had 40 on this round. Still shot in the low 80s but the putting is very frustrating.
Up for the challenge
If you want a challenging course this is the one for you! This course has no mercy with sloping fairways multi level greens and exaggerated doglegs. You’ll be hitting blindly into several fairways . The course also features an island hole in the middle of the pond that’s 118 yards from the end of the fairway. There is also a good change in elevation on several there is also a good change in elevation on several holes. Some of the greens are very large and even if you hit on your approach shot it may a rolloff or take you three putts to hole it out. The course is well-maintained and a beautiful location. You could fall in love with this course simply because of how picturesque it is. Bring plenty of spare bulbs and have fun .
