Pros:
There are baskets and they are in pretty good shape.
Tee signs, not always accurate, but they do show where to throw from.
They actually mow the fairways on the open holes, unless the students play here often, I doubt this course gets a lot of rounds, surprising this is still done.
Except for #1, the holes are away campus buildings and activities.
Located just a couple of minutes off I-81 in the Shenandoah Valley. If fact, North bound, you can see the course and still have time to take the exit and return to the course.
Cons:
No tee pads, just grass areas marked by the tee signs, and several were uneven.
The grass on holes #2-#4 is pretty rough.
#2 does not follow the path on the tee sign, instead it is an almost impossible angle through a gap in the trees then another turn in the fairway. #3 is not much better, thick trees/bushes to go around off the tee.
#5 - one of the largest tree/brush piles I've ever seen is in the middle of the fairway, right in front of the basket. Yea, wasn't throwing close to that.
The tee areas on the open holes were on uneven, sloped ground.
Other Thoughts:
Probably the best part about Blue Ridge CC is its closeness to I-81, no more than 5 minutes off the nearest exit, and the first campus entrance you come to.
Unfortunately, with the long open holes, #6 - #8, its not a real quick play. But, there are some good holes:
#1 tees just off the entrance road and goes downhill, turning right, with woods and a creek down the right side.
#4 tees up near the Rec building, downhill into a low ceiling, wooded fairway. Tough to get one close here.
#9 finishes pretty well, teeing from a raised area, across a small valley to the basket on another small hill. A fun one to finish on.
So if you are looking to stretch your legs and bag a course, between Staunton and Harrisonburg, this course is a pretty easy one to get.
