Very nice new course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 29, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tee pads, easily followed layout, good mix of elevation changes and hole length, very little under brush in the trees

Cons:

Some poison ivy but it is avoidable, the tee pads seemed a little short, some of the holes were very short and hole 4 was exceptionally bland

Other Thoughts:

Hole 3 is misleading. The basket you see from the tee pad is for hole 5. Hole 3's basket is tucked up to the left about halfway between the tee ad and the basket you can see. I would recommend this course to anyone passing through the area that needs to get out and stretch their legs as it is right off Virginia exit 14 on I-81 and plays fairly quickly if are consistent with your drives.

A 9-Hole Course for Everyone 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 27, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Great variety of holes! Although I am predominately RHB, I had to throw RHF and the Hammer/Tomahawk a couple times each.
- Excellent signage; All holes are displayed well and it is easy to navigate from hole to hole.
- All concrete tees and baskets are in excellent condition.
- VHCC is a course for all levels of players who are seeking a challenge in addition to a fun course.
- Holes are a fair distance apart, and although a crowded round might be rare, needing to keep a lookout for others' discs is unnecessary.

Cons:

- Although playing for aces may be a "Pro" to some, the simplicity of a couple holes may become a bore.
- The grass needs to be cut, badly, the foliage can be dense. A disc shouldn't be lost, but be weary.
- There is only one tee for all holes and it seems as though the current pins will not be moved from their positions.

Other Thoughts:

As this is a 9-hole course, I must compare it to other 9-hole courses, and frankly VHCC is a must. This course can be rather easy for the professional (I consider myself a beginner and scored -2), but undoubtedly this course provides plenty of variety that will keep all players on their toes. Behind Steele Creek Park, this is one of the best 9-hole courses in the area and I would certainly recommend it to all players.

Great little course, close to downtown Abingdon 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 16, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Awesome, fairly quick 9 hole course that is close to home. Well groomed and you are not likely to lose a disc. Nice view of mountains from several holes. Course is well marked out so no getting lost looking for the next tee. Even have permanent signs along the few wooded paths pointing you were to go. Well groomed and great tee pads perfectly placed with no drop offs at ends of concrete pad like some places. Tees and baskets close to trees so a lot of nice shade for playing in the summer.

Cons:

There are few cool paths through the pines that may have offered an opportunity for a wooded hole. Not the biggest challenge but not really a negative.

Other Thoughts:

Quickly becoming my favorite course. Hole 7 could be changed to a have a left mando around the pine directly in front of the tee. Otherwise, pretty easy birdie (as long as you don't hit one of the trees in the lane to the hole).
