Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club is near Front Royal, at the north end of the Shenandoah Valley. Tom Clark designed this public course that plays between 5000 – 7300 yards, with five (5) tee boxes.

Bryce Resort is a unique mountain golf course; and will give you a great experience. Lead by Paul Lepler, the Bryce staff will treat you like gold and help you have a great time. The greens and fairways are in great shape – the bunkers were exceptionally well taken care of. There’s a big difference in Nine’s – the front is more open, the back is a little tight – but, it’s what you like in a golf course.

We visited CCC in August 2022 Tucked away near the Blue Ridge Mountains and on the banks of the Shenandoah River, Caverns Country Club is a hidden gem of the northern Shenandoah Valley. With amazing views and holes featuring caves, this course will give you the challenges of a mountain golf course with a more open concept.

A recent visit by the Virginia Golf Course Reviews team to Lakeview Golf Club proved worthwhile. Lakeview Golf Club has some of the best views of the Valley with the Massanutten Peak in full view from most of the Mountain Green’s tee boxes. Lakeview has three sets of nines.

Virginia Golf Course Reviews visited Lexington Golf & Country Club on Tuesday, October 19. This Ellis Maples and Ed Seay design is challenging, taking advantage of the elevation changes of the property and weaving the course between the criss-crossing nature of Woods Creek.

Massanutten Resort‘s Mountain Greens Golf Course is truly a mountain course. Virginia Golf Course Reviews did an initial review in November 2023 with the leaves falling! It was beautiful, but make sure you take extra balls in the fall – or just about anytime. Most of the fairways will slope away from the mountain, some more than others.

Massanutten Resort invited Virginia Golf Course Reviews back for a review of Woodstone Meadows Golf Course in November 2023. We thoroughly enjoyed the setting. The course was in great shape. The greens rolled so easily – and a little quick – and the bunkers were easy to hit from.

Shenvalee has the destination hub concept down. They have all the amenities to make a golf destination happen – clubhouse, restaurant, bar, hotel, views, grills for guests, and the opportunity to network. The variety provided by the three nine-hole configurations, gives golfers options for at least two days worth of golf. In addition, the proximity to Caverns Country Club, Packsaddle, Heritage Oaks and Lakeview make Shenvalee a place to come back to after spending several days in the Valley. This is a special place with the Robert Trent Jones hitting the first tee shot in 1927.

Our team from Virginia Golf Course Reviews visited Sly Fox Golf Club Sunday, April 14 for a review session. “Its Slopey ” was the introductory description provided by the staff – and proved to be pretty accurate of the fairways and greens. Most of the holes have serious undulations or slopes. The greens and fairways have very few flat spots. Choosing your tee box carefully.

Spotswood Country Club is a premier course in the Shenandoah Valley. Established in 1926 and designed by Fred Finley and Edmond Ault, the course retains much of its original design. About three miles from downtown, today its within city limits and retail centers are next door. However, with large evergreens, apple and oak trees throughout the course, it still feels as if you’re “out in the country”.

Our team of reviewers made our visit toThe Club At Ironwood. Eric Hooke’s team was exceptional and welcomed us warmly. This William F. Gordon design was in really good shape. Ironwood is about a 7-iron from I-81, with easy access, convenient and a must play if you’ve got a little time to experience the rolling fairways and undulating greens.
