Copper Cove Golf Club

This place is awesome. Course is always in great shape, and they run the place like golfers, super accommodating to helping people get on the course with tee times that work for them. AJ is amazing, such a nice guy and you can tell he enjoys sharing the sport with everyone who comes in. Management, give this guy a raise.

⭐ -Star Review – Beautiful Venue, but Extremely Disappointing Management and Communication** My fiancé and I traveled approximately four hours from Maryland to visit Copper Cove Golf Club in hopes of finding the perfect venue for our wedding. We immediately fell in love with the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and charming country-style setting. Although the facility could benefit from some additional cleaning and upkeep, we saw its potential and were excited about celebrating our special day there. We were offered what we believed was a great wedding package and decided to pay for the venue in advance. Unfortunately, what started as a wonderful experience quickly became a major disappointment. During our visit, we discussed our wedding decorations and explained that family members would be traveling from California and Maryland to help prepare the venue. We specifically discussed the possibility of decorating on Friday, the day before our wedding. Based on our conversation, we understood that these arrangements could be accommodated. However, after we made our payment, management informed us that the decorating arrangements were not what we understood them to be. We were told that our rental included three hours for the event and additional limited time for decorating. This was extremely disappointing because we had already made plans involving family members, decorations, a DJ, and an ice sculpture. We even offered to pay additional fees to obtain the decorating time we needed. We were not asking for anything free. We simply wanted sufficient time to prepare the venue for our wedding without rushing our family and vendors. To make matters worse, we experienced difficulty getting our phone calls returned while trying to resolve the situation. Rather than reaching a mutually acceptable arrangement, we ultimately had to cancel our wedding reception at this location. Although management subsequently confirmed that our payment had been refunded to our credit card, that does not erase the frustration, inconvenience, travel expenses, and disappointment we experienced. As a future husband and wife, we expected professionalism, clear communication, and a willingness to work with us on such an important occasion. My biggest concern is that the decorating arrangements were not clearly documented and confirmed before we paid. A wedding is not an ordinary gathering. It requires careful coordination, financial commitments, and family members traveling from different states. I strongly encourage other couples considering this venue to get every promise, decorating arrangement, access time, additional fee, and restriction in writing before paying anything. It is unfortunate because Copper Cove Golf Club truly has a beautiful atmosphere. However, the business experience did not match the beauty of the property. We came with excitement and high expectations but left disappointed and without a wedding venue. A beautiful location means very little when communication and expectations are not handled properly. I cannot recommend this venue for a wedding based on our personal experience.

Great little public course! It's clear the staff is putting in the time and effort to make this a special place. Travis went above and beyond with hospitality. Had a great time playing 9 after work - lots of fun wild life!

I love this golf course. This is a stunning golf course on smith mountain lake. I played in December and March so I have not even seen it in season yet, but the fairways and greens were in great condition. It’s a challenging course with lots of unexpected turns and elevation changes that can challenge even the most seasoned players. I scored a few pars, but mostly struggled. I can’t wait to get back out there and get more acquainted with this course and break 90. Highly recommend!

This course was very nice! The clubhouse was clean and had good food and drink options. Greens rolled smooth but slow. The course overall was in good shape. Staff was friendly. Golf carts are fast and clean. Lots of wildlife!
