The owner and his impeccably-mannered son made the experience, though. The safety briefing and vigilance by the range made me feel safe, which cannot be said of many of the other ranges in Virginia. Note that the instructions might seem excessive, but that's what it takes to keep people safe. I strongly recommend Quail Ridge.

I'm a total beginner and went to Reedy's after seeing the positive reviews in the hopes that…read moresomeone there would help me learn about archery, and wow, did they deliver! They were extremely welcoming and spent an hour teaching me all of the basics without once trying to sell me anything. They are clearly deeply knowledgeable and passionate about the sport and were helping people at every level of experience from kids to expert hunters. I will definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend Reedy's to anyone looking for anything in the world of archery or bowhunting.

What we found was the finest in customer service, product knowledge, and folks that are truly dedicated to the sport of archery. Upon arrival, they introduced themselves and asked if we needed help. We said we were just looking and the owner, Chris, told his staff to set my two boys up with bows and introduce them to the sport. They pulled bows off the shelf, adjusted them to my boys and had them laughing arrows into targets within minutes. They provided instruction and coaching tips until they were able to put three arrows into about a 3 inch circle. As they were coaching the kids, they would pause the session to adjust the bow a bit more until each bow was tuned to the kids, all the while coaching and providing positive feedback as the kids learned. The look of excitement on my kids faces as they learns an outdoor sport was priceless. Needless to say, I became a paying customer that day. To have my kids engaged in something that doesn't require an internet connection is something every parent should be looking for. If you are looking, I would highly recommend Reedy's. My wife even ended up with a setup. GET YOUR KIDS OFF THE INTERNET AND GET THEM OUTDOORS. YOU WONT REGRET IT.

I have been using the "High Tech" Meditation soundtracks/products, as well as attending the retreat programs in this beautiful and scenic setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA from the start of my journey. For most of these years, I have also been in personal mentoring with Master Charles Cannon, a master of the meditative experience.

A beautiful golf course on the Wintergreen Resort. Some key things to note:…read more - At 3,850 feet, the highest course in the State of Virginia - Access is only available to members, guests and registered resort guests - 50-mile views of the Shenandoah and Rockfish valleys - Surprisingly level mountaintop terrain My ears popped going up and down the mountain to the golf course. A good friend is a member, so that made me a guest. The mountain views are stunning and gorgeous. When it comes to walking, the level mountaintop terrain is true... When golfing, the hell with their level mountaintop. With their beautiful and super fast greens, the ball never stops rolling. A course like this requires precision and skill. Miss a shot or approach from the wrong angle and you can guarantee your next shot very far from the hole and in some cases, off the green. If you suck at golf like I did, you'll need lots of golf balls. Come prepared. Finding golf balls off of the rough are nearly impossible. My only gripe was that the greens were hard so approach shots didn't hold well. If you're a golfer and you're visiting Wintergreen and have the opportunity to play, take it. Bring your camera. You'll find some great views you'll want to snap.

Fantastic layout with a good amount of water coming into play. I could play here dozens of times…read moreand not get tired of it. May be walkable on a nice day. But the conditions were just okay. They seem to be fighting another strain of grass creeping into some of the fairways. Greens were pure though. Members don't seem to fill their divots or rake the bunkers which is sad. (One also decided to slam his car door into my car when I was in it. No reaction from him.) Nice grass driving range and putting green. Didn't see a chipping green or bunker area. I will definitely be back but will park away from everyone else. 1 almost drivable par 4. Favor the right side off the tee. 2 beautiful hole with water up the left side. 3 brutal, winding par 5. I'd say driver is not the play off the tee, but your second shot has to be far enough up the second fairway to have a shot at the green. 4 intimidating par 3 over water. 5 cool looking split fairway par 4 that climbs the hill. Green has a big elevation change in the middle. 6 dogleg right par 5. Third shot you'll see the stone wall and creek that guard the green. 7 downhill par 3 with a huge green with a ridge cutting off the right third of it. 8 uphill par 4 with an elevated green that's hard to hold. 9 you really have to thread your drive and favor the right side. 10 beautiful dogleg right with a second shot down the hill. You'll also see all the water that'll come into play later in your round. Just beautiful. 11 uphill par 5. Driver off the tee except for the longest players. 12 fantastic looking hole. Well bunkered downhill par 4 with the second shot over water. 13 tough downhill par 3. Your view of the green may be obstructed which is a different but fun feature. 14 I've never seen this many bunkers on a drivable par 4, but the fairway is very generous left of them. 15 I hope you hit a cut off the tee. Toughest par 4 in my opinion. 16 great par 5 along the water. 17 couldn't even make the bunkers from the tips with a well hit 3 wood. I hit land then it bounced back in the water. Only reason why I don't think playing the tips are for me here. 18 from the back tees, I couldn't see any of the landing area. That is a tough tee shot. The green doesn't get any easier with a big slope in the middle of it.
