A group of us came here for a weekend of fly fishing the Jackson River... This Inn sits on an 18…read morehole golf course, right on the banks of the Jackson River, so river access was easy, just a short walk from the Inn. The Inn offers all the amenities of a rental home (fully stocked kitchen with two fridges and two dishwashers, dishes, etc), large dining room table, plenty of seating and a couple of quiet rooms to relax. The bedrooms were large, there were at least 9 of them and each had their own full bath. Comfortable temperatures from their HVAC throughout the entire house. Overall, the Inn was a comfortable way to relax after a day of fishing. There was also a grill outside and a fire pit. The location is just about 10 mins from downtown Covington, not far from other fishing areas, like Lake Moomaw and the dam there. There's plenty of parking and they have an amazing restaurant onsite, a quick walk from the Inn that's highly recommended! I look forward to returning!!

This review is for the brewpub/restaurant and not the golf or fly fish inn…read more Recently, the brew pub opened up serving dinner. We had heard good things so we tried it on a Friday evening. When we got there, the place was pretty empty as a storm had run some golfers away from the pub. We had a chips and salsa appetizer and we both had the gouda burger with bacon jam. To our delight, the food was excellent. We talked some with managers and they have added many things to the menu. I am honestly looking forward to going back and trying something different next time. The beer selection is not much craft beer, but has some good staples- shock top, vienna lager, etc. There is plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. There is a fire pit outside along with horseshoes and corn hole boards. They have tried to make it very family friendly We will definitely be going back!!

My brother and I played a round of golf at the Pete Dye River Course last summer on a shorter road…read moretrip we took. We both loved the course! We had an afternoon tee time at 2:30 and just about had the course to ourselves. It took us until the 15th hole to catch groups in front of us and we never saw anyone playing behind us. Their twilight rates made the course relatively inexpensive. As far as the actual course goes, it's absolutely beautiful. The scenery is amazing as you play many holes right along New River. It was peaceful and relaxing to hear the sound of the moving water. The course played so well. Some holes were a little tough, but I'd expect no different since it's a Pete Dye design (RIP). This course had been on my state-by-state golf course bucket list for a long time so I was glad to have gotten to check it off. I could see myself going on a trip to go play there again down the road!

This is a fantastic track. The views from the clubhouse are gorgeous. Either side overlooks both…read morenines which are way down below on the riverbed. One of the flatter courses I've ever been to as well. The routing is very well done and the river can come into play quickly on a few holes. Not many trees except on the edges of the property. Pete Dye uses mounding (eyebrows) on the far side of his fairway bunkers to play tricks with you visually. I actually liked it. From above they seem like little dabs of paint on a beautiful canvas. If you are at the far side of one, it's easy to get out but you can also roll against that raised face and have to go out sideways. Honestly sometimes playing down the wrong hole is the easier way to get to your green. All the holes are memorable but take the time to climb some stairs to get to some of the raised tee boxes for the championship tees, they have the best views. As with most Pete Dye tracks, the greens have shaved sides where you golf ball can end up far below the level of the green so be careful. Middle of the green isn't a bad place to be. Up above (maybe 80+ feet above the course?) you have the clubhouse. The pro shop was decently stocked but the person working there seemed more annoyed by any questions I had about the merchandise and pricing. The starter, however, was excellent. The practice green gives you a good sense of what you will face on the course. There is also a practice chipping green/bunker area and a small driving range. There seemed to be a learning center on the far side as well. I played as a single on a summer Sunday afternoon and got around in 2 hour and 20 minutes. Had to play through two groups but that's making good time. Next time I hope to walk this course. The only brutal part would be the long climb back up the hill. I definitely hope to be back.

I have played on golf courses all over the world and Ole Monterey is very likely the worst…read more Very poorly maintained. I lost 11 balls on one 18-hole round because the rough is WAY too high...as in un-cut. Seriously, land even a foot off the fairway and your ball is gone. I even watched my ball land near the edge of a bunker and couldn't find it. Speaking of the bunkers, they are crap. Weed/grass infested and little (if any) sand. The greens are garbage and basically neglected. The management should be ashamed to charge what they do to play on this horrible course. Will I ever play here again? Hell no.

I highly recommend this location for business gatherings including large groups. Their food here is not top notch so if you are trying to impress with good food I suggest you find a different location. However if you want a quiet location, good service and okay food then this is an excellent choice.
