Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech

Distinctively Dye - Distinctively Virginia Tech

The challenges of a Pete Dye design, a spectacular new clubhouse, and the pristine beauty of a riverfront setting combine to offer a unique experience at "The River," whether it's on the golf course or in the clubhouse. It's no surprise to alumni and friends of the Virginia Tech community that when the university undertakes a project that the results are a world class facility and "The River" is no exception to this rule.

The golf course as it plays today opened in August 2005 after a re-design by Pete Dye, notably one of the most renowned course architects in the world. His signature style pot-bunkers, small greens and collection points will test your strategy and skills, however with five sets of tees from which to choose, golfers of all skill levels find the course fun and exciting to play. The course fronts on 2.5 miles of the historic New River and across the river you will frequently hear and see a distant train. The mountains, the river, the view and the golf course combine to create an adventure you will remember long after you leave. The clubhouse adds a new dimension to the golf experience with an upscale lounge and grill and a pro-shop offering quality golf apparel and equipment.

The new clubhouse was also designed to offer flexible event space to serve the university and the community. Room rentals are available for special events including weddings, receptions, dinner meetings, special occasions and seminars. The meeting areas can accommodate up to 200 guests depending on the function, the season and type of service desired. The event rooms open to the 4,000 square foot elevated patio that virtually seems to hang out over the river and offers amazing views.
