Got the chance to play this golf course by getting reciprocity through my course.  This is a private golf club, but not a Country Club.  I think they have 200 members and a small restaurant/bar.

What a fantastic Fazio design.  This may be my new favorite course that I have played in Virginia.  River Bend Country Club and The Federal Club not withstanding, which are both very very nice.  Haven't yet played Kinloch.

The fairways were immaculate and the greens, even though they had been punched within the last couple of days, rolled very well.

The practice range along with the putting and short game range were top notch.

There are no tee times, we showed up at 7 am and were the first group off at 7:30 am.  The assistant pro Rick met us at my car and took my bag.  He was Johnny on the spot, very nice to the Asst. Pro taking care of you.

He explained the course and gave us a few tips on how to play a couple of the more unique holes.  The landing areas for most holes were generous, the traps were placed to get you to play away from the shorter second shot, but it was a very fair test of golf.

hole by hole description along with a hole picture at the link below.

Favorite hole was the 12th

Only 362 Yds from the Blue tees, but a really tough driving hole and then a raised green where any short ball will not make it to the green.

The 18th hole was also a very nice hole.

We ended up playing in 3 hours, we didn't see anyone on the front 9 and never say another golfer until we made the turn and there were some ladies practicing on the range.  A group of 3 players jumped in behind us after we made the turn, but after a couple of holes we never saw them again,

Just a gorgeous course, if you can ever play this course, I would highly recommend it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 66: Played 18! Wasn't really keeping track of score, but guessing in the low 80s. Driving okay, iron play up and down, lagging putting really bad. Overall, it was good to get out and play.

      Day 12 (30 Jan 26) -  Had hoped the men’s group would be playing, but the cold temps and delayed opening kept them at bay. Spent some time on the range working on loading the trail foot on the backswing (focusing on loading the inner portion of the foot and collapsing the knee slightly toward the ball). Learned too much really brought on a left pull.  Easing back a bit, really helped compressing the ball and overall accuracy.  Took it to the course for a practice round, focusing on this small change.  Saw better dispersion across the bag….guess this will be part of the mirror work drills as snowpacolypse 2 hits eastern NC.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
