Country Oaks Golf Club
Played On 09/10/2015Another Great Round At Country Oaks
Another great round at Country Oaks. The gentleman that checked us in was just that. And as friendly as a person could ask for. Even though we were early they got us on immediately.
I rated the course as good. But they get a ton of rounds I'm sure. So it shows on the greens. However, the short par 4 #13 green was really in poor shape. We didn't even putt on it. The rest of the course was pretty nice.
This is a super course to play with interesting par 3's and par 5's.
The Meadows Golf and Country Club
Played On 06/23/2015Fun Course Lots of Elevation Changes
My son and I are from Illinois. He just moved to Roanoke and this was our first time playing this course.
We were blown away by the vistas and views from a few holes. Lots of elevation changes. So a big change for us.
The course was in pretty good shape overall. They are redoing a par 5. It was down to a par 4 hole. But we were glad it wasn't a par 5. It would have been crazy tough from where the tee box was.
The greens were pretty nice. We got there at 7:30am and they let us out. So most of the greens hadn't been mowed. But we were told that and wanted to go out.
The gentleman that waited on us behind the counter was very friendly and nice to talk to.
I'm sure we'll play this course again when I come back to town.
Quail Creek Country Club & Resort
Played On 09/07/2014A fun tough test!
Another fun round at QCCC. This wooded course rewards straight ball hitters. With tree lined fairways it places a premium on tee play. Most of the par 5's are real challenges. It takes a BIG hitter to reach most of them in 2.
Greens were in good shape for the most part. But there were a few bad spots. Fairways were in great condition.
Will be back for another round for sure.

Played On 05/24/2014Great Staff Tough, Fun Layout, Poor Fairways Right Now 5/24/14
Short & Sweet!
The staff and the gentleman in Pro shop were SUPER nice and accommodating to me. They let me out early as there was an opening. I couldn't have asked for more.
The course is a tough but fun layout with lots of different looks. A couple of elevated tee shots. Some long narrow par 5's that I didn't like. But also a couple of wide open par 4's and 5's.
Condition - the greens were in very nice, fast conditions that rolled true. However the fairways were really in poor shape. Lots of shots into the fairway landed in large bare grass less patches. However - the winter was BRUTAL. Many courses here have the same problem. So this isn't on the staff - this is mother natures fault.
I will go back and play it again this year!
Thanks VCC!
Tides Golf Club
Played On 6/16/2013A nice course with lots of holes that let you hit the driver.
This course gave a few different looks. Most of the holes let you hit the driver off the tee without too many worries. However there are a couple of holes that penalize you unless you can hit the driver straight as an arrow.
The staff was very nice and cordial to us and made us feel very welcome!
The course was in average shape. The greens had a few bad spots here and there. But they really ran true other than that.
All in all a nice value for the $$. With a little bit better conditioning, this course would be an amazing bargain.
