Rated HHHH1/2 —Golf Digest

In the heart of the Shenandoah Valley sits one of America’s
most spectacular golf courses. Packsaddle Ridge Golf Club
in Keezletown, Virginia, is a stunning 18-hole championship
golf course featuring incredible views of the valley below.
Golf Digest in 2003 voted Packsaddle #5 “Best New
Affordable Course.” $40,000 worth or renovations were
completed in the fall of 2014 on the front nine. This
breathtaking facility was built on more than 500 acres of
rolling countryside. Designed by renowned golf architect
Russell Breeden along with Jeff Forbes, this 4-year project
required an incredible one million tons of rock and 750,000
tons of top soil to be moved. The result is a layout that will
challenge all types of golfers and overload your senses with
natural beauty. Packsaddle Ridge is located 15 minutes off
Exit 247, east of I-81.
