About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 6964 yards
Slope 146
Rating 74.3

There are 27 holes of championship golf available at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club. They are divided into three nines, naturally named Blue, Ridge and Trail, that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The holes have an advantageous setting amidst mountains and trees, offering both privacy and scenery. The setting is made even more peacefully secluded by the fact that there are no parallel fairways throughout the entire golf course. The holes were carefully carved from the forests and hillsides, providing each nine with a different character. With four water holes, the Ridge/Trail combination has the most water of any of the courses. There are also strategically placed bunkers throughout but the towering, mature trees present the most formidable challenges. The course starts off rather gently with the player-friendly Ridge, but becomes progressively more difficult on the back nine.

Nice Course.

Course is great. They were aerating a few fairways and only reason for not getting a 5 star in that category.

Beautiful Gem

Started off as a twosome and after the front 9 hooked up with another twosome from Illinois. The pace wasn't as fast as prior visits, but hooking up with the others allowed for more consistent play. The views on this course are picturesque. It is a challenging course which requires a lot of strategic play. Lots of interesting stuff blocking clear shots so you have to be smart in how you play. Strongly recommend this course!!!

Fast Greens

The greens were fast and in great condition.

Pace of play for Wednesday morning was efficient and no back up going from 9 to 10 (blue to ridge) which could be an issue at times as they cycle the 3 courses (9 hole each).
