Smith Mountain Lake has emerged as one of the Mid-Atlantic's most popular golfing destinations.Stunning wooded fairways and luscious greens along the water's edge make for quite a game of golf!! The Water's Edge course offers championship-caliber play while other courses in the area are great for beginners.
Offering private and public courses, there is something for all levels of play! The crowning jewel of our courses is The Water's Edge! The course was designed by Robert F. Loving, Jr. and was featured in Golf Digest. The par-3 seventh hole is famous for being an island green surrounded by water! This is a private course.
For a semi-private course, you have to try Mariners Landing! This course is open to the public but also sells memberships. The Mariners Landing was designed by famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones. You can play along the water's edge for several holes and take on the signature 156 yard, par-3 at the 5th hole! With a beautiful clubhouse and paved cart path, this is a beautiful course for a day of golf.
You can check out these and other courses here. If you want to find a beautiful place to play the ancient game of golf you do not have to travel far if you live in the Smith Mountain Lake area!
