Enjoyed this beautiful course so much in September that we had to return a month later. Even more enjoyable since we were more familiar with the layout. Very pleasant and helpful golf staff! After our round, we enjoyed dinner and drinks on the outdoor deck of the restaurant. Food and service terrific — only surpassed by the view!

The operators are friendly and courteous. The course is beautiful, long and narrow. Great setting along the New river.

One of my favorite courses! Staff was helpful but drink machine is broken. Enjoyed the round. Lunch was delicious and the views are stunning.

Great golf course but the Pro Shop staff is terrible. Watch when booking online, they will NOT honor the confirmed price online. We booked a tee time and got confirmation of $54 per player. When we arrived they charged us $84 per player, we showed them the confirmation and JD in the pro shop said no, its $84 on all game days. JD said, "if you do not like it, you don't have to play, we got plenty of players"......McConnell Golf needs to clean house at this course; you can really tell the difference in a McConnel Golf owned course vs a McConnell Golf managed course. All other McConnel owned courses have great customer service and the staff goes out of their way to make sure everyone has a good time. Classic "bait and switch" pricing...do not trust the price confirmed online.
No where on the website did they mention "game day surcharge". On the website they should have updated the pricing to reflect game day pricing. We booked on Oct 16th; ten days prior to game day on Oct 26th. Hopefully McConnel Golf can train the pro shop staff and update website pricing when home football games are scheduled.

The course is nice. Well kept. The greens are nice....clubhouse is clean. Guy working the pro shop is a complete jerk. Mike was his name. If he's so grumpy and unhappy he should quit. Sorry I wanted to play golf after work on a sunny day..... I'll be sure to go inconvenience another golf course with my money next time. Sorry your fingers had to work the cash register for 30 seconds.

This is the most overrated golf course I have ever played. They make you pay a cart fee even if you want to walk, and the course is a walking course. The holes are tight together, none of them stand out, yardages are off, and pot bunkers are poorly kept. For the price, you think they'd clean off your clubs after a round or give you some range balls. Only reason I gave it a poor is because the greens are spectacular, as is the case with a Pete Dye Course.

What do you need to say about a Pete Dye course? Great! The course is located on a peninsula with the beautiful New River flowing along side the whole course. It is located in the New River Valley of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. The
club house includes Preston's Restaurant with outside seating looking down over the course and River. The course is located in the Herons Landing upscale housing community off VA Rt.114.

With a group of some 40 people we had a good time here for dinner here last week. The drink and beer offerings was very good, and the quality of food was great.
Given the nice building and the setting overlooking the river this is a good place to be!

My wife and I are members at The Pete Dye River Course. Mr. Dye did a great job when he re-did this course a number of years ago. The contouring of the course and green side areas is really well done and adds drama to a course which would otherwise be a flat riverside tract. The views of the New River are lovely and the houses nearby don't intrude too much. Conditioning is mostly very good though the course plays a little too slow on fairways and greens much of the time. Choose the right tees and you will have a challenging and satisfying round! The bar/restaurant (now called Prestons at the River) has good food and a good happy hour. Overall, this course is a must visit for those who live in central and southwestern Virginia, or nearby in North Carolina or West Virginia.
