How To Succeed at Finding the Best Virginia Golf Courses | CREATESPACE

Discover Virginia’s Best Value Golf Courses

This guide helps you locate standout Virginia courses with a detailed, technical rating system designed for different play styles. It emphasizes value without sacrificing scenery, course design quality, or overall enjoyment.

What you’ll experience while searching for the right course:

• Value-driven recommendations for high-handicap players seeking affordable rounds with quality layouts
• Challenging options that still offer fair play for professionals and strategic golfers
• Ratings across key criteria: scenery and beauty, enjoyment, challenge, value, and resort quality

In practice, the guide helps you compare courses you might visit during regional trips or weekend getaways. Sensory details like rolling hills, open fairways, and tree-lined drives come to life through thoughtful descriptions and curated photography.

About the rating approach: the scores align with best-design practices described in the companion books by M. Hatcher, providing a consistent framework for assessing how a course might fit your plans. Version 1.4 adds more photographs based on input from area golfers and expands ratings for Virginia’s known courses while keeping printing costs in check by moving design criteria to a separate volume.

What you gain as a reader and planner: a practical, non-pressuring tool to discover value, plan trips, and set expectations about scenery, playability, and resort ambiance. Use this guide as a starting point to shortlist courses that align with your goals, then verify details with current course websites or club pros.
