Golf in Blacksburg

Blacksburg is the Montgomery County home of Virginia Tech, one of the nation's largest comprehensive research universities, with over 30,000 students in the Hokie nation and a research budget that has established it as a leading engineering and science institution. The New River Valley's dramatic mountain setting and the university's outdoor recreation culture create a distinctive college-town environment in the mountains of southwestern Virginia, where the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Jefferson National Forest, and the New River itself provide extraordinary natural amenities. Three golf facilities serve the academic and permanent residential community. Virginia's extraordinary range of landscapes — from Chesapeake Bay tidal wetlands to the Blue Ridge mountain summits — creates distinct regional characters for each community, and the local golf infrastructure reflects the specific natural and economic context of its location.
