    Very difficult course and penalizing rough. Mint greens that rolled true and fast.

    Pete Dye’s mountain course. Railroad ties and pot bunkers dot a beautifully maintained course that measures 7156 from the championship tees. The rough is thick and penal, with small greens and heavy bunkering / undulations around the green. A true test.

    New design lost a few of the best holes like old 15. But there are some excellent challenges including par 5 2nd, a reverse cape hole and drivable 17th. Putting green is a lot of fun too. Must play in Cville.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then 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. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Charlottesville, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
