Golf courses in Radford, VA.

Radford, VA

The Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech runs along about 2.5 miles of the New River between Blacksburg and Radford. The Virginia Tech Foundation acquired the existing course in 2002, and Pete Dye spent nearly two years reworking it before it reopened in August 2005; it was formally renamed for Dye in 2006. The par-72 layout has five sets of tees ranging from 5,142 yards to 7,665 yards from the tournament tees, which play to a course rating of 77.5 and a slope of 145. Dye brought his signature sharp-edged bunkering and angled greens to the riverside terrain. The course is home to the Virginia Tech golf teams and is open to public play.
