About this course

Blue Hills Golf Course sits in Roanoke, Virginia, a city nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern Virginia. The course was designed by Clarence King, a regional architect active in the mid-twentieth century who laid out several courses across Virginia and neighboring states. The routing takes advantage of the rolling terrain characteristic of the Roanoke Valley, with elevation changes that provide variety in shot-making and strategic interest throughout the round. The layout reflects the straightforward design principles common to municipal and daily-fee courses of its era, emphasizing playability for a broad range of golfers while incorporating the natural contours of the land. Tree-lined fairways and modest greens define the character of the holes, and the property offers views of the surrounding mountain landscape that frames the Roanoke area. The course serves as an accessible option for local golfers and visitors seeking a round in the region. Blue Hills functions as a community course within Roanoke's golf infrastructure, providing a venue for recreational play, junior programs, and local competitions. The facility reflects the tradition of public golf in smaller American cities, where courses like this serve as gathering places and introduce new generations to the game. The setting in the Roanoke Valley, with its moderate climate and scenic backdrop, makes for a pleasant environment for golf throughout much of the year.
