The River Course

This review pertains only to the Bull & Bones restaurant. The restaurant offers outstanding service, beautiful scenery, and great food! I almost never write reviews but felt compelled to share my experiences tonight. Due to unfortunate weather conditions, we were unable to get our car out of the parking lot after dinner. The manager, Jim, without hesitation, offered us a ride all the way back to our home in Radford. I have never received such outstanding service and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

My sister got married at the River Course last weekend. The River Course was beautiful! The ceremony overlooked the New River on a flawless Saturday. The day was perfect and the venue was the perfect spot for the wedding.
I could not have been happier with the service that was provided by everyone at the course. Ann and Mary did everything they could to make sure my sisters day went perfect and every possible request was taken care of. Any detail that I thought I would have to make sure got done they took it and got it done. They went out of their way to make sure everything was done and my sister did not have a single want!
The catering team did a fantastic job! The catering manager was amazing. He took the time to really listen to my sister and find out what she wanted for her wedding even if it wasn’t on the menu. He created dishes to cover all of the requests that my sister and her husband had. He was very responsive and took the time to talk to the wedding coordinator and I after the rehearsal to make sure that all the questions related to the day-​of were answered and we were comfortable with the order of events.
I would have not changed a thing about the day or the venue and the team that we worked with.

Outstanding views, good food, good beer. What more could you want?

I’m not a golfer so my review is about all other aspects of The River Course. I’ll start by saying it’s beautiful! In fact, so beautiful that I got married there. The catering from Bull And Bones (which as a main location in Blacksburg but also has a location in the clubhouse) was phenomenal… absolutely great!
As I said before, I don’t golf, but my brother-​in-​law and father-​in-​law both said it was a fun experience. A friend of mine met Alice Cooper here once and was invited to his concert in Roanoke that night.
If you’re a golfer, check it out. If not, go eat lunch, sit on the porch, and stare at the BEAUTIFUL view of the New River.

Make sure you’ve got your game tuned up before you venture out to play the river course. I like Links style course and think the river course is top notch but I think they have forgotten where they are… Southwest VA and they are charging $ 60+ a round.
They have a new clubhouse getting completed hopefully this year (2009) maybe next. The new clubhouse will help because the old one was a trailer.
If you are going to get drinks at the turn you’ll need to go back up to the top of the hill to get’em so make sure to stock up cause once you get back down there isn’t any refreshments.
The scenery is beautiful so make sure to take the time and look around… you’ll be paying for it so you might as well enjoy it.
