Draper Valley Golf Club is situated on land deeply rooted in primitive and early Virginia history. Evidence discovered during course construction shows that primitive man had selected this site for settlement several thousand years ago.
The original log house serving as the temporary club house is known as the "Ole Crockett
Place." Built in 1775, the older part of the home features stained rafters of walnut, a Joseph Swoope hand carved mantel, floors of oak planks, walnut wainscoting, and handhewn walnut posts.
The 18-hole course features 7,046 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 73.3 and it has a slope rating of 125. Designed by Harold Louden, the golf course opened in 1992. The greens are of bent grass and the fairways bluegrass. The course, set in lovely mountain scenery, contains water hazards and sand bunkers. With its well-groomed fairways and undulating greens, the wide open course plays longer than the yardage indicates. Water hazards (lakes or a swamp) come into play on seven holes. The signature hole is #9, a 511-yard, par 5, requiring an approach shot over both a marsh and water hazard to the grass.
A pro shop, snack bar, putting green, and driving range are additional amenities at this award-winning golf course.
