Course Review Ballyhack Golf Club
Hmmm. The first hole is definitely a hike uphill the entire time. 2 is an awesome elevated tee shot. 3 isn’t dramatic in either direction. 4 is a blind tee shot, a fun one. It ends up being an elevated tee shot but has some deception. Fairly level approach. 5 is down and then way up. 6 is super elevated but it’s a level approach. 7 is a fairly level tee shot. 8 and 9 have plenty of undulation but not super dramatic elevation changes.
10 is a slightly downhill tee shot but the hole plays without dramatic elevation. 11 is a hike uphill. 12 is totally wind dependent but can certainly have that downhill/uphill effect. 13 is certainly a downhill par 3. 14 plays mostly uphill and is a treacherous golf hole. 15 is a massively elevated tee shot. 16 is another elevated tee shot but the approach is fairly level. 17 doesn’t feature dramatic elevation. And, again, 18 does have the elevated/uphill element.
So, yeah, it’s a common theme. A lot of really creative, fun situations. Certainly one of the most unique courses I’ve played.

It’s such a fun course.
It truly is a great golf course. One of the best I've played
we're going to have a lot of fun bud!
Can’t wait. Hopefully I can walk in 5 months after today’s workouts. Lol coach changed them and I might not make it off the floor for 5 months.

There’s a lot of reasons why Ballyhack is special but this reveal after the blind tee shot is unmatched 
Drove through Roanoke for work today...wish I could have stopped by and taken in this view again

I love this. The power rankings were trending down to 5th for you guys, but it might jump back to 3rd now.
Man I can’t wait to see this place in person.
Dude, I know we talked a ton about it yesterday, but I CAN'T WAIT!
