Ballyhack Golf Club
Played On 09/13/2015Tricked up. Stupid Design. Ruined a good piece farm land.
Let me put this in context. Didn't lose a ball, and there was a steady 15mph wind. The worst design EVER. Where is the windmills & clown mouth. Terrible green complexes. Ex: 215 yd par 3's & greens have 5 foot elevation changes. Why? 6' off greens- unplayable lies. Severely sloped greens. Pristine conditions & a cool membership roster, but overall the course playability is a horrible. A theme park nightmare.

Highly Disagree.....The designer knows what he is doing. He designed the best course in VA kinloch.....There's places to miss and all pins have flat around them. If you miss in the wrong place you are screwed even if on the green. That's the beauty of this place. Seems to me you just got beat by the course and couldn't handle it. There's a reason the State open is played here...I played this year and i promise the championship conditions were way tougher then the day you played. 15 players under pay and 7 over thru 2 days was the cut line. You can play this course well if you have patients. Trust me.
To be certain Ballyhack is not for the below average to average golfer if you are expecting your run of the mill hack and chase or pitch and putt go elsewhere, golf is taken seriously at Ballyhack, the greens are fast, lots of undulations and false fronts, difficult but fair, the state open is held here yearly, why? Because it's challenging and a serious endeavor to beat this course! Brush up your game or stay at the municipal course if you want to not be demoralized because you have no game.
