This course is located in the scenic shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains The greens are innovative and sculptured with a lot of undulation and sand The course offers both open and tree lined fairways Those that are tree lined feature narrow corridors which necessitate pin point accuracy There are a number of elevated tees that enhance the scenic beauty of this course The signature hole is 17 a 190 yard par 3 which requires a tee shot over two ponds in front of the green A pair of pesky sand bunkers guard the rear
