Virginia Golf

For some unknow reason I've been struggling to write my blog on Virginia golf.  Not that it is bad or anything, in fact there are two courses that I really enjoyed and are pretty close to the top of my list even though I haven't played Homestead.

Virginia has four courses in the Top 100, Homestead, Tradition, Highland at Primland and Golden Horsehoe.  Again, I speak of Homestead because I didn't play it.  However, I did play a fourth in Virginia on the recommendation of a gentleman I met eating breakfast.  I played the River Course at Virginia Tech in Radford, VA.  A good thing too, as for Virginia courses, it along with Highland at Primland Resort are my two favorite courses.  And only because of the location do I place Highland at the top.  But don't let that distract from playing The River Course - it is absolutely beautiful, challenging and has plenty of 'ah ha' moments.  The river holes are breath taking.

Highland is my favorite for just that reason, it is at the top of the mountain.  Some of the views I'm sure would only be duplicated if you were a hiker hiking up a mountain only to hit the peak and be awestruck with the panoramic view.  You get that feeling several times while playing Highland.

The Golden Horseshoe has some great holes but over all it doesn't make my favorites list.  I would take a few holes and play them over and over but that kind of difficult to do.  Holes #12 and #16 are especially beautiful and challenging.

Enjoy the picks:
