This is one of the most scenic courses to play in Fall in VA…and its open to the public

It’s sucks to have to say good bye to summer but we want to remind you that Virginia has some of the best golf courses in the county to enjoy the fall weather and foliage. Unfortunately most of the top rated fall courses are private but we did find one that is open to the public.

The Highland Course at Primland sits atop a mountain plateau overlooking some of the most unusual scenery in America, a deep river valley dotted with tall spirals of rock called the Pinnacles of the Dan River.

The course design by veteran British architect Donald Steel is austere in its green contours and bunkering, as if not to overpower the setting.

There’s a stretch of three straight holes - 13 through 15 - with no sand, because dense trees and deep gulleys are hazards enough. Primland is Smoky Mountain majesty.

Unfortunately it’s a bit of hike to get their for DMV golfers like ourselves but worth putting on your bucket list.

One final note. The cost of a full round drops from $300 to $200 in November.
