Ridge/Trail at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

The only complaint is the pace of play somehow they’ll be backed up on day with less than 20 cars in the parking lot and they have 27 holes besides that it’s great.
For it being November the course is in great shape the maintenance crew at blue ridge trail is great!
Great conditions but painfully slow pace
I’ve come here a couple of times. You would think that with three 9 hole courses, there would be better management for tee times and faster play but it’s not. They overbook the tee times and have no course management of pace of play. Beautiful course but just wish there was a better structure for pace of play. Round of 18 took 5 and a half hours as a reference. And that’s with using a cart
Course drains well
I thought the place would be a swamp after the rain we had the day before but it drained well. Cart path only always sucks but we expected it.
Grees recently punched and topdressed Ridge was a little bumpy but Trail was a little more puttable. If we don't get hammered with anymore rain, the course should be perfect if a few days.
Best course around but people don’t fix their ball marks on greens which is crazy
Fantastic Course but terrible pace of play
I religiously play golf at this beautiful course, but there always seems to be only one problem…. The pace of play. I never understood why people who have never played the game of golf before come to this course. Either that or this course just seems to take in as much money as possible. I can finish a slow round of golf in about 3 hours, and that is with my awful swing. If I can do it, so can you. I’ve never quit in the middle of a round until this year, and I have done so twice already, because I wanted to save the headache and not wait another 4 hours to finish my remaining two holes of golf. Don’t let me fool you. It’s a fantastic course, but something needs to be done about the pace.
Always a great course to play at, fast and very firm greens w a challenging layout. if it wasn’t an hour away I’d be there a lot more!
Water Coolers Please
Golf course in excellent condition, especially with the lack of rain.
Can you please add water coolers on the course? We only saw the beverage cart twice in 18 holes and it was 85 degrees outside.
Early season golf…
Great day at Blue Ridge Trails. First time at this course, played the Blue and the Trails. Fairways in great shape, tee boxes were excellent, even for April. The greens need warm weather to grow, i plan to play it again july-aug to see the greens. Friendly staff, started ahead of scheduled time, some slow play ahead made for a long day. Definitely a great course to play, will visit again.
27 hole facility worth playing
Blue Ridge Trail (BRT) is a 90 minute ride for me. It's worth the car time once or twice a year for me to play here. It's a pretty golf course with a good layout. Long hitters won't be challenged at BRT but the average hacker will find ample amounts. Greens were aerated 3 weeks before I played and they had healed
nicely. You can tell the owner takes pride in maintaining the course to a high standards. Enjoyable to play.
