Copper Cove Golf Club dates to 1989 and was laid out by Russell Breeden, a Virginia native credited with close to 100 course designs. The layout measures 6,511 yards and asks for a combination of length and precision from golfers of varying ability.
The opening hole provides a gentle start before the test increases, with narrow holes carved from the woods and a green set beside one of the quiet coves and inlets of Smith Mountain Lake.
Later holes mix downhill tee shots with double doglegs, along with a hole or two where longer hitters can let the driver go.
