Bryce Resort

Bryce Resort sits in the Shenandoah Valley of northwestern Virginia, approximately ninety miles west of Washington, D.C., in the small community of Basye. The course was designed by Ed Ault, a prolific mid-Atlantic architect who built numerous layouts across Virginia, West Virginia, and neighboring states during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Ault's work typically emphasized playability for resort guests and local members while incorporating the natural terrain features available on mountain and valley sites. The routing at Bryce takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and wooded corridors characteristic of the region. The course plays through rolling terrain with fairways carved from forested hillsides, offering views of the surrounding Appalachian ridges. Water features and strategic bunkering provide definition to holes that vary in length and difficulty, accommodating golfers of different skill levels typical of a resort setting. Bryce Resort operates as a four-season destination, with the golf course serving as the centerpiece of summer and early fall recreation. The facility includes lodging, dining, and other amenities that cater to families and groups visiting the Shenandoah Valley. The course remains accessible to public play, drawing visitors from the Washington-Baltimore corridor and the broader mid-Atlantic region who seek mountain golf in a relatively rural setting.
