Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech ☆ Follow

The Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech is an 18-hole course at its Radford facility featuring 7,665 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. Designed by Ault, Clark & Associates and Pete Dye, ASGCA, the River golf course opened in 2005. The course features five sets of tees along 2.5 miles of the scenic and historic New River, with yardage stretching from 5,142 yards for ladies to 7,665 for tournament play. The course is bisected by a 70' rock cliff, which created the opportunity to build 2 distinct but complementary 9-hole loops which start and finish adjacent to the club area.

The course features bentgrass tees, fairways and greens, strategically-placed Dye trademark pot bunkers and breathtaking river vistas from all 18 holes in a par 72 links design. Fourteen of the 18 holes have views to the river, with eight playing directly to the river's edge. The course was selected by Golf Digest as one of the Top 5 "Best Newly Remodeled Courses in America" for 2006. The course served as the destination of the 2011 NCAA Men's East Regional and continues to host significant competitive events. Golf Digest gave the course a near perfect 4.5 Star Ranking as one of the "Best Places to Play" in America.
