With five sets of tees ranging from 4,800 to 7,080 yards, the semi-private course offers a challenge to players of all abilities. The course features A-1/A-4 bentgrass greens, 419 bermudagrass on the tees, fairways and roughs and is highlighted by native grasses, sprinkled with wildflowers, in out-of-play areas.
“We wanted the golf course to match the superiority and tradition of our three 18 hole golf courses, ranked the highest in Virginia by Golf Digest, in Ford’s Colony Williamsburg,” says Richard J. Ford, Jr., president of Realtec. “Our course in Rocky Mount goes above and beyond our expectations. It is a true beauty.”
