Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 2007

Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club is home to a well-rated and always popular golf course. The tree-lined and open parkland layout offers many pleasant views as it meanders through hardwood forests, with split fairways, double greens and elevation changes along the way, and a spectacular waterfall to finish.

The eighteen hole layout begins atop a small knoll with panoramic views. It ends with a risk-reward par-4 fronted by Crooked Run Creek and framed by a tumbling 60-foot waterfall just behind the 18th green. One to include on your play list if you are in the area.
