Golfweek’s senior architectural editor, Bradley Klein, described his experience at Ballyhack a “walk on the wild side” and noted that Hole 15 stood out as one he’ll remember. A 575-yard par 5, Hole 15 is named “Chasm” and provides one of the most beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well of the one of the most intimidating drives on the course, dropping more than 100 feet in elevation from tee to green.
The new award further underscores Ballyhack's rising reputation. Since its grand opening in July of 2009, Ballyhack has been recognized as the No. 3 Best New Private Course in America by GOLF Magazine, and among the Best New Courses by LINKS Magazine.
