We stopped on the way up I-77 from a trip in the south. This course is set just in Virginia in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it is a very beautiful course. But, it is also very tough. It is particularly nasty in spots if you have no previous course knowledge, especially on #9 (be sure you are on or over the green...my playing partner and I combined for 11 strokes to get on and stay on the green from within 70 yards). Despite the beating I took, though, the course was pleasing to behold, especially the front where most holes are secluded.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Ranks with the best in this price level
