Where you'll be staying and playing

Located in the heart of Roanoke Valley, just off the famed Blue Ridge Parkway, Ballyhack has been shaped to perfection through the combined efforts of Mother Nature and Father Time. Featuring 50- to 70-foot elevation changes, fairways as wide as 150 yards and old-style, gouged- and blown-out bunkers, the course at Ballyhack is sure to set new benchmarks in modern golf course design. What was a simple dairy farm a century ago has evolved into a world-class destination golf retreat. And yes—there’s a family of African Boer goats that hangs out near the 14th green. You’ve been warned.
