Golf, Hunt and Fish ...
Trifecta!
Trifecta!
Face it—without divine intervention, you'll never get to tee it up at Augusta. But you'll swear that the golf gods have smiled on you when you play the Highland Course at Primland.
Carved 3,000 feet high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southern Virginia, the course has challenges and scenery that will leave you simultaneously cursing and praising designer Donald Steel, who's known as a master of links-course architecture.
Highland measures 7,034 yards, with each hole following the killer contours of the mountain. Par is 72, but unless you own stock in a golf ball manufacturer, you'd be smart to check your ego at the pro shop, drive your cart past the black tees and instead swing away from the reds or blues.
Highland pro Jeff Fraim's favorite hole is the par-3 eighth, which plays 175 yards from the blues, 193 from the reds (a smooth six iron for Jeff) and 220 for Tiger and company. Because the No. 8 green is so far down a canyon, you'll swear you're teeing off from heaven.
