Awesome experience once again

Had a great time at the course once again. I had an odd request and the clubhouse was very accommodating. I was a single with only a 2 some in front of me and another 2some in front of them. Paced out well so i finished in about 2hrs and 45 minutes. When ever I am in the area I try to get a round in. Highly recommend this course. Lots of different tee boxes so accommodating for all levels of golfers.

Beautiful course on the river

Beautiful course along the New River. Pace of play was a little slow but was that to be expected on a busy football weekend. Would definitely recommend playing while in Blacksburg

Wonderful day. Great course. Beautiful location.

The scenery along the New River is spectacular. The course is not too difficult from the Correct tees, as we quickly decided to move up. Fairways had been aerated and were wet. But, the course is straightforward. A little local knowledge where misplaced aiming poles will lead you astray would be helpful, but overall, a good challenge. Would now like to play it again. Guess that is the sign of a good course!! For the money, a great experience.

Great time as always!

Had a blast playing this spot for the fourth time. The weather was excellent and we really enjoyed the challenge and layout of the course. Bunkers really got us on the back 9! Didn’t check out the restaurant but plan to do so next time. Will absolutely play again.
