The gently rolling fairways and large greens, situated in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountain, provides one of the mid-Atlantic's most scenic golf locations.

An interesting feature of the course can be found on hole #1. This 509 yard par-5 has a small rocky outcrop in the middle of the fairway with a small hole opening into a deep and unexplored cavern. The good news, you are allowed a free drop if your ball goes down the hole.
