Pete Dye River Course
Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech is a championship layout that ranks with some of the best in Virginia. This open parkland course provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy. A must play if you are in the area.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted.
Excellent (including a double-ended driving range).
In the early 2000s, Virginia Tech alumnus and philanthropists Bill Goodwin and his wife, Alice, asked their friend, Pete Dye, to consider converting the existing River Course into a world class layout. Through the Goodwin’s generosity and the creativity of Pete Dye, Virginia Tech gained a much improved facility that would serve the university community, the golfing public, and provide a home for the university golf team (the "Hokies").
Virginia's 12th best course (Golf Digest, 2023/24).
USA's 14th best college/campus course (Golfweek, 2022).
