The Club at Ironwood

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. One of the distinctive features of this course – mountain views from most tees and greens. And, no hole is like any other. While it’s not a particularly long course, you can expect a challenge from any of the tee boxes you choose to play from. There are plenty of surprises on the course with at least 7 holes with blind shots.

‭The Club at Ironwood is a fun layout and the new superintendent has done a great job‬ of refurbishing the course, creating a much more enjoyable experience.‬ We notice a new commitment to improving the course and it shows. All fairways are‬ verticut, mowed around greens for easier runoff, and managed the deep rough in a‬ more organized manner. All efforts to improve the experience are moving the right‬ direction. The greens are in fantastic condition, which makes them the best greens in the Shenandoah Valley. Contouring on the greens is challenging but fair. The bunkers are well‬ maintained, but lack consistency in depth of sand. When you go, make sure you tell them Virginia Golf Course Reviews sent you!
