Blue Hills Golf Club

"Course is in immaculate condition as always but that isn’t the reason for 1 star. Unfortunately, the service and food quality in the restaurant has went downhill drastically in the last 3-6 months or so. Not sure what they are up to but it has not worked well. Hopefully they’ll get someone new up there to straighten it out."

"Great layout and conditions. Terrible computer controlled carts. I'm local and am looking for a regular place to play. However the carts ruined what otherwise would have been a great experience. Two annoying issues: 1) The carts continually lock up and freeze if you enter an unapproved zone. Once it locked up while on the hill between the tee and the fairway on 10 after my buddy hit his shot. It wouldn't unlock no matter how long we waited. We had to get out and push the cart to get it rolling down the hill to get it unlocked. Not very safe. Another time it locked up while actually on the cart path on 12 after I returned from putting. Forces you to wait 15 seconds to unlock every time to let you drive again. 2) If you are not right on the heels of the group in front of you, it displays a pop-up message on the GPS display warning you that you are too far behind. The pop-up annoyingly occurs about every 5 minutes. To see the GPS map you have to dismiss the pop-up every time. The overall experience is you must play speed golf and be very careful where you drive, so you can't really enjoy the otherwise lovely golf course. Maybe I'll go back next year to see if they've resolved these issues. Technology can be helpful but also be horribly implemented."

"We were visiting the Roanoke area and wanted to play a round of golf. So glad we picked Blue Hills. Course was fun to play, greens were in awesome condition and rolled great. It was nice to play in early November with the beautiful fall foliage."

"Had a great experience at Blue Hills. Had a tee time with 3 others at 9:06am, but was on a 10-15 minute delay for frost. Still had a great time and beautiful views. Course was in great shape with great greens. Didn’t try the grill but the BBQ smelt great. Beer was ice cold."

"This golf course is, hands down, the nicest public course you're going to play in the Roanoke Valley and it's better-priced than most of the surrounding courses! The driving range has multiple tee boxes so you're never hitting from a dirt box and if the grass boxes are closed the mats they make you hit from aren't the type that you have to scrape off of your clubs later. They have 2 putting greens that are in great shape and they are indicative of the greens on the course as well whereas most courses have nice putting greens but their course greens aren't nearly as good. They have course rangers that patrol regularly to keep everyone moving, which is good as their tee times are usually within 9 minutes of each other. The golf shop and restrooms are clean and the staff is professional and polite. I can't speak to the restaurant as I never have time to stop in there and eat but have always heard good things about it. If there was one thing I would complain about, it's the snack shack never being open when I play there, which is always Friday mornings."
