Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club

Mid April Round & conditions were good. Fairways, bunkers & greens were consistent. It was an enjoyable round, definitely worth what we paid.

It was a very busy Saturday round though, which meant pace of play was slow (but not unexpected). Took us 5 hours to play. Tee sheet was FULL.

Staff were all very friendly, and helpful.

Would definitely play it again. My buddy holed out for a two on #18, so we definitely enjoyed the finish.

This is an absolute beautiful course this time of year. Course is well maintained and challenging for all levels. Gotta love that 10th and 15th holes with the elevated tee boxes. Will definitely play this course again.

Tried this course while traveling.
Did not expect much because of green fee was very economical. Very surprised. The scale, condition, layout and etc. were all well above expectation. No less than much higher green fee country clubs. Of course maybe because the location of the course. I come to this area a few times a year and I am glad to find this germ in the area.

Played for the second time on a windy Wednesday afternoon. Decent layout with lots of up and down. The ponds and streams are clear and pleasing to eyes. Greens under aeration hence not fair to compare. The fairways are in decent condition with some rough spots. Bunkers are in surprisingly good condition. The yardage are clearly marked. Staff is very friendly, and on-site restaurant is open with decent offering. Good value for the money.

Great staff, welcoming and friendly. Course is challenging every time. Play moves along at a consistent pace. Love it.

This is my second time playing at Blue Ridge Shadow. I had a good experience the first time I played there. I was disappointed this time. The course conditions are terrible. Divots on the fairways. Greens are bumpy. Bunkers were not raked. I am not sure what happened. This is supposed to be the best golf course around this area. We drove over an hour to play here. Not sure if we want to drive an hour to play in a golf course with this condition.

Fairways and greens in good shape. Due to wet conditions it was.cart path only and because of hilly course put a slight damper on our play. Very windy and not sure if that's normal. The views are beautiful. Other than golf cart we didn't use other amenities so can't comment. We will play again even though an hour away from home, it was worth it.

We played behind 3 groups of 5 that slowed down play!

I have only been playing 2 years. For me, this is a very tough course. But I enjoy it a lot! For December, the course was in fantastic shape! Only my third time here but plan to return!

This course is in excellent condition and provides a great mix of some very challenging tee shots and pin placements. From elevated tee boxes, to water, to tight pin placements, this course has it all and at a very affordable rate. Excellent friendly staff and a fun layout with view of the Blue Ridge!

This course was a mainstay for us during the pandemic, with limited crowds, wide open but challenging course, great value, very friendly staff. My now 13 YO son and I, amateurs at best, would drive out an hour from DC suburbs and enjoy a mid to late afternoon of golf regularly. It was great.
This year, with the recovery, it seems like they made the choice to eliminate twilight/afternoon prices, turn off 9 hole option. With the higher costs of everything, the value for us at the level of golf we play became less "worth it" to make the trip. So, when these options started showing up again, we jumped at the chance to come back.
The course, the people, the experience was just as good, and the value proposition was there. We had a great time, and you will too. I only hope they keep these options for the amateur golfer available, both in the coming off season and come springtime.

Having played this challenging layout only once before, I took some time to review satellite imagery prior to my round this time, which was helpful in shedding some light onto the ‘shadowed’ beauty and dangers hidden just out of sight of some of the tee boxes. (Dramatically on the 1st, for example.)

I’m looking forward to my next round here, Plus, I think I heard someone ordering a cheesesteak sandwich at the bar as I was leaving for Spelunkers. Oh well, maybe next time what’s hidden will come into the light!
