Impeccable service and conditioning. Long par 5 #9 might take up more acreage than any hole in the world. A bit repetitive on the par 4s.

An amazing set of holes packed into 98 acres and a great scene to play in. Best holes are par 3 2, par 4 8 and the hardest par 4 in the world 15. Doak renovation took best of original Ross and Flynn.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Virginia. Rankings refresh about hourly.
