This is due to our attentive staff and the systems we have in place to provide excellent customer service at every opportunity. From the Bag drop, to the First Tee, to the maintenance crewmember, to the General Manager, to the grill attendant, the focus of our staff is to serve the customer and help them enjoy our facilities to the fullest, so they will tell their friends and want to return time and time again. Thoroughly renowned for the service we provide, outing coordinators and event planners will constantly seek us out. We will dazzle them with our attentiveness and concern for the success of their events. Coming to our club will be a sensation that their attendees will talk about for years to come. Designed by Tom Clark, Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club opened in March 2007 to rave reviews by Regional and National Golf Publications. Golf Digest Magazine ranked us #6 “Best New Affordable Public Courses” in 2007, and the Washington Post named us a ‘Natural Treasure’. In 2010 and 2011, Blue Ridge Shadows was ranked #4 Best Courses you can Play in Virginia by Golfweek Magazine and ranked #32 ‘Women-friendly courses in America’ by Golf Digest Woman Magazine! « less

Fun and challenging course. The condition of the course was very good dispite the rain early that morning. Be careful on the first and 10th holes. We were disapointed that the huge waterfall at the last hole was not working. What a pretty end usually. We really enjoyed ourselves

Thank you for your kind words and your visit!! The pump that services the waterfall behind the 18th green is undergoing some preventive maintenance and will be operational in the near future. We hope to see you back 'In the Shadows" again soon! More

A very well maintained golf course. You need to hit straight and sometimes leave the driver in the bag. Beautiful holes and challenging. You will enjoy it, just take your time before blasting away.

Thank you for your kind words! One of the great features of our Tom Clark design is the variety of tees. We have five sets of tees to choose from, and as long as you select the proper set based on your handicap the course is fun. You can't just take the driver out and 'blast away' but the course...

Thanks for noticing our little slice of heaven here in the Shenandoah Valley. Mother Nature provided us with spectacular views, and course designer Tom Clark artfully crafted the course routing to take advantage of the elevation changes and scenery. No wonder many call us 'Virginia's Most Beautiful Golf'. We appreciate your comments and more importantly, your business. Come see us... More

It contains some nice views of the countryside and has a mixture of hills and water hazards; #18 is an interesting challenge but only one of a number of "interesting" holes.

Absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. Not sure how you can run a business the way they do - GM won't return phone calls, head pro won't return emails, staff just tells you what they think you want to hear. There are many great courses in Winchester - I would stay away from this course!

I hate writing this, but I must.
