Came into town to visit family and decided to play this course. Very very happy that I did so. The course was in really really great shape the putting greens the driving range the clubhouse customer service was fantastic. Most of the holes are very golfer friendly and very enjoyable and the greens were absolutely immaculate like a sponge and just beautifully maintained. I plan to come play every time we visit family in Roanoke and this is a must for those of you who are in from out of town give this golf course a chance and I think you will be very happy

First off the course is great, greens are always beautiful honestly idk how they keep them up so well. My son had lessons with John (Golf Pro) and he was excellent very comfortable situation. The Staff other than one or two employees are great men and women. Wild life always in abundance. Deer turkey Ground hogs squirrels rabbits Baby coyote stumbled upon us on hole 10 pretty awesome experience and to top it all off in the video I posted Someone’s pet bird landed at my feet today on hole 2 and let me pick him up. He played until hole 6 with us before flying away to the pond. Great experience honestly I feel blessed to have such a great location to attend. Love walking in and everyone knows my name.

The Course is in the best condition of all the public golf courses in Roanoke. They have been upgrading everything from new smooth asphalt cart paths to GPS on the carts that tell you everything you need to know and listen to your favorite radio station at the same time. You can even check out the local up to date weather. The Restaurant food and staff are incredible. You've got to try the Pro's grilled smoked meat specials when available, 5 star flavor! The pro shop has everything any golfer would need or want from rental clubs to the latest gear available and the counter employees are not only friendly, professional and accommodating but they can and will help you with all your golfing needs. I have found though that it's best to call ahead for a tee time as they apparently fill up quickly. Lastly, I found out the head greens keeper doesn't allow fishing in the pond, Believe me, don't do that. 🤷 Otherwise, Enjoy the course and hit em' well.

I was in Roanoke for a business conference and wanted to play a round of golf. The course was very n great condition. The greens were recently aerated but were still very playable. This is a gem of a golf course. I will definitely continue me back when in the area!! Great staff too. They even announced your name one the first tee box.

Sick track, greens in great shape
The Rifleman
Great golf course. Probably one of the best in the valley. The staff isn’t always very friendly. There have been times I have walked in there and wasn’t even greeted or acknowledged.
