Great Oaks Country Club, Floyd, VA

Played the course for the first time on Wednesday, July 27, 2011. My index is a 9.8 and I played from the back tees. Overall, the course was in average shape, but the greens were the highlight. The putting surfaces were well kept and the ball rolled true. Although large and not severely undulating, very rarely did I have a straight putt without any break. My average drive is between 230-240 and there were only two holes where I faced a long iron into the green. Many of the holes are tree-lined, but most are pretty open with large landing areas. The front is longer of the two sides and the contains the most interesting holes (#5 and #7 are two of the best). The back is much shorter and I only used driver on the par fives. All of the par threes are good holes, especially #8. There is no development on the course and the views are great. The staff was very friendly and the pace of play was good (my fourseome played in 4:10). I live roughly an hour away and will definitely be back to play again.
