Botetourt Golf & Swim Club
Tucked away in a stunning landscape of mountains and valleys, Botetourt Golf & Swim Club, proposed to be renamed, Botetourt Golf Club, offers a breath of fresh air for players from all across the Roanoke Valley and beyond.
Botetourt Country Golf & Swim Club opened in 1962 as a 9-hole golf course. From famed golf course architect, Andrew Green, the front nine layout/design is uncertain, but likely by a local player or pro. The back nine is newer and rumored to have been influenced by Buddy Loving about ten years later. Today, it’s a public course and is on the VSGA VIP list.
The Superintendent, Steven Hansen, has turned the course around dramatically. The only challenges they are facing are the environmental elements. They have some dead trees to cut down and clean up, but they are in the process of cleaning up the course.
Their opportunities come along with the new pickleball courts and the closing of the pool.
The tee boxes, fairways, rough, bunkers and the greens were in exceptional condition. This course is absolutely beautiful! It is full of trees that have been there forever. A pond and a creek run through the course.
They offer a variety of memberships – yearly, monthly, weekly, and weekends. A very affordable course.
