Bryce Resort Golf Course, Basye, VA

Very well maintained, resort course. Not too long, but still challenging for the average golfer. Rough was thick and the greens were fast. Played very fair. i would like to play it again.

I've done approx. 85 courses in the past three years...this is one that is well worth the visit. I can't think of one hole that didn't have something enjoyable about it. My favorite hole was the Par 5 16th with a right to left sloping fairway down to a hidden green. The resort sits on slopes but the course is pretty much flat...not a real signature hole but not a single dull hole either. The course was in fantastic shape though the rough a little higher than what I am used to...made for some challenging shots...but fun and fair! I drove over 2 hours to get there and would definitely do it again (though it helped that I had the first tee-time and therefore had no one in front of me). Having a tee-time golf pass made it more affordable also. I highly recommend this place!

Might be my favorite course

I really love playing at Bryce, although I don't as much as I'd like. Full resort facilities - a friend of mine seriously went skiing in the morning and golfing in the afternoon once. It's a great course with a lot of challenging holes but some nice short holes to score on as well. The first hole will kick your butt if you make a bad shot - 575 yards to a green with a stream in front. Not many get on in two there! But a couple other par-5s are reachable in two, there's a driveable par-4, and the par-3s are all reasonably lengthed. Course has always been in fantastic shape when I've played there. Word to the walkers - there's about a mile and a half between the front and back nines, so you might want to hop in the car. Seriously. Also, I've heard that non-members cannot walk anymore unless they play with a member, but I don't know for sure because whenever I've walked it was with a member.
