Massanutten Resort

You needed to know where to hit your shots

mountain course with much slope.

The greens were good but a bit slow.

Many deer and woodchucks on the course, but they didn't bother anything.

It was enjoyable to play but you had to know where to

hit it.

People in from of us were horrible. Golf isn't an easy sport especially playing on a mountain. Ten to eight shots from one woman and these guys wouldn't say go through,so I had to skip holes to find no one in front of them

Overall good day, played at par 65. Greens not fully recovered from aeration. Good grass in fairways to hit off of. If in the area I recommend but not at their regular rate, would wait for afternoon rate or use tee off.com.

Alex, starter friendly & helpful w/ advice on course.

For a 65 par course we were impressed. The layout was intricate and delightful. The fairways and rough were trimmed to proper spec, overall beautifully groomed. The greens forced you to be strategic, appreciating the care given to allow a fair read. A wonderful experience and I highly recommend giving this course a play.

Pace of play was horrific. Conditions were not what I would expect for what I was charged. Course layout was OK for subdivision golf. Course does have good Mountain View’s.

We get to the course, assuming it’s $50, but the man working behind the counter only charged us $32 for being JMU students! Super friendly and funny staff, gave us great tips about the course, and even though I was in the 90s, I enjoyed the challenge for my first time playing there. Will definitely be back soon.

The course is different, hill side and not in great condition.

We really enjoyed the scenery and wildlife around the course. The course management is a must when thinking where you drive and the outcome with the slopes on the fairways, made it interesting. We thought some of the views were beautiful.

2 days prior I played the Woodside Meadows course and was very disappointed with the fairway conditions. I had high hopes that it would be better at this regular, par 72 course. I was again disappointed. The fairway conditions were as tall as you would expect in a rough. I was forced to club up like I normally do when hitting from the rough. At $75 a round ths was again a big disappointment. See the attached photos for some idea of the length of the fairway cut.

The course itself is very nice and picturesque. The fairways are indeed very tight in some places as other reviews have mentioned. The first hole is unusually tight at about 200 yards. It is only 20 to 25 yards wide. Thread a needle on this one.

Greens were a bit slow and with multiple tiers putting was at a premium. I normally use 32 putts a round on average and had 37 on this course. Could be user error or just not able to really adjust to the speed. But not all fairways were that tight and some were actually quite generous. Driving wasn't really the problem. It was the second shot to the green from the rough in the center of the fairway that caused the most problems.

One nice memory from the course was seeing deer all around. I guess they were used to having people in golfers around as they would just look at you and not run away immediately.

A very picturesque course. Plays to par 65 with a mix of holes and lots of par 3s. Unfortunately, the fairways are cut too high, almost rough length. Even when freshly cut it is too high. The fringe around the green might be acceptable for a fairway. Very disappointing conditions for $75. Check out photos.

Myself and five friends played on Monday 9/27/2021. VSGA card clearly states play Monday- Thursday from March- October is $27 per round. Play Friday thru Sunday is $32. The course refused to honor the $27 rate even though we played on a Monday. My disappointment here is not the $5. My concern is the arrogant position the staff took to try to justify the reason.

Very disappointed with the customer service and with the apparent course policy. Played golf at 5PM. Got told at the 12th hole at 7PM that they were shutting down because of lightening (still haven't seen lightening...I think they wanted to go home early). Asked for a rain check and was told they didn't give rain checks at that time of day. So, let me get this. YOU forced me to stop playing and quote a policy like that??? Trust me, I understand the need for safety, and I am one of the first golfers to get off a course when there is lightening in the area but you were the initiator.

Two things: 1) The guy in the pro shop almost seemed excited to tell me he didn't want to give me a rain check, so he doesn't really know how to handle "unfortunate" situations which exhibits his lack of customer service skills and care for customers. 2) Think about it financially. You could have given me a 9 hole rain check, I would have come back on a different night and paid for 18 and you would have been money ahead! Great business policy; but, if that is how you choose to operate, it is your business to do so. It is also my business to choose which golf courses I frequent in the evenings after work some 3 to 5 times per week.

This probably won't change anything, but at least others will know not to play after 5PM if it might rain.

While this course was very forgiving for the beginner players it has some drawbacks with the course layout. If you are expecting a quick bite to eat at the turn (which is no where close to the club house), then you are better off bringing your own food and beverages. The ninth hole ends by the Virginia bbq restaurant which is not very quick on food or service. The distance between the 6th and 7th holes is quite a distance so I recommend not walking unless you’re under 30 and in great physical condition. If you don’t bring your own food then make sure you get some food from “Bogeys” before you start your round. Lots of par 3s on this par 65 course make it fun as well as challenging for the beginner. I would golf this course again knowing what I know now........and I am sure my experience would be much better when taking in the layout issues.

Great overall course. Lots short par 3s with many bunkers around the greens. Fun course to dial in your wedges and short iron approach shots. Wind made it tough to judge good distances but greens were fair and fun to putt on.

Interesting and very hilly course above Massanutten Resort. Many holes blind to the greens. If you hit a draw, you'll like the layout, but you need to hit your driver very accurately, and you may want to move up to the next set of tees. Some fairways are very narrow and unforgiving if you miss them. Plenty of woods, steep drop-offs and meandering streams border several fairways to often vary small greens. Overall conditions when we played were average, and it was apparent they had a great deal of rain recently. Fairways were soft, and some areas mushy. I would be willing to try it again, but the worst part was - it was absolutely the "buggiest" course I've ever played. We used strong bug repellant - to little or no effect. Often, as you addressed the ball, the bugs were swarming around your head. The next day, I had bug bites around my head and on my legs. Was not a pleasant experience. Still, not a bad day.

Fun resort course built in the side of a mountain. Very scenic and challenging. Two tips if you want to have a good time: 1) Play it forward. 2) Course management. My wife had a great time also!
