GOLF DIGEST HAS RATED IT THE TOP NEW PUBLIC COURSE--IN AMERICA IN ITS CLASSIFICATION FOR 2007.
THE HIGHLAND COURSE AT PRIMLAND--IS RIGHT IN OUR OWN BACKYARD- ALBEIT-ABOVE MOST ALL OF OUR BACKYARDS.
IT'S THE REIGNING BEST NEW COURSE OVER 75 BUCKS TO PLAY. AT NEARLY 3000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL, WITH THE DAN RIVER GORGE LITTERALLY A STONE'S THROW FROM THE FAIRWAYS, THIS IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF GOLF EXPERIENCE.
IT IS A RESORT LEVEL COURSE ON A MOUNTAIN TOP. THE VIEWS ARE SPECTACULAR.
WITH LINKS GOLF GURO DONALD STEEL'S DESIGN, THE FOLKS AT PRIMLAND THINK ITS GOT SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
TEE TIMES ARE BOOKED EVERY HALF HOUR TO GIVE THE GOLFERS TIME TO ENJOY THE SETTING AND NOT HAVE A RUSHED EXPERIENCE. THE GREENS ARE SOME OF THE LARGEST YOU CAN FIND THIS SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC, IN TRUE BRITISH OPEN TRADITION. THE GREENS ARE SOME OF THE QUICKEST AROUND BUT THEY ROLL TRUE TO FORM.
A 70 THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT LODGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL INCLUDE A SPA, GOLF SHOP AND SILO THAT WILL HOUSE A TELESCOPE SO GUESTS CAN GET A LOOK AT THE STARS FROM THEIR LOFTY VIEWPOINT. THE COURSE IS LOCATED IN MEADOWS OF DAN, VIRGINIA--IN NORTHERN CARROLL COUNTY.
