<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 370 scenic acres comprising Ballyhack are surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains and only 12 minutes from downtown Roanoke, VA and is the home of one of the most tantalizing new National Golf Clubs to make the scene in many a year. <span id="more-2134"></span><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2138" style="margin: 15px;" title="Ballyhack-Golf-Course-Roanoke,-Virginia-3" src="http://www.golfresortsandcommunities.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Ballyhack-Golf-Course-Roanoke-Virginia-3-300x219.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="219" />Designed by Lester George (Kinloch, The Old White re-design at the Greenbrier) and co-owned by, among others, legendary amateur champion, Vinny Giles (U.S. Amateur, British Amateur and U.S. Senior Amateur Champion) and equally legendary football coach, Frank Beamer (VA Tech), <a title="Ballyhack Website" href="http://www.ballyhackgolfclub.com/">Ballyhack</a> opened in 2009 and has quickly carved out a niche among the most knowledgeable and discriminating players from around the U.S. and Europe.</p>
<p>In fact, in his review of Ballyhack following his first visit, Ran Morrissett, the founder of Golf Club Atlas, wrote in 2009, <em>Now at the end of a second Golden Age of golf course architecture, Ballyhack…. emerges as the finest course to have been built in Virginia since The Cascades.</em></p>
<p>In the process of developing a cult following that will one day rival Sand Hills, Bandon <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2136" style="margin: 15px;" title="Ballyhack-Golf-Course-Roanoke,-Virginia" src="http://www.golfresortsandcommunities.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Ballyhack-Golf-Course-Roanoke-Virginia-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />Dunes and Ballyneal, Ballyhack, which is reminiscent of a Scottish highlands style of architecture, differs from them all in one key area…real estate. A true core golf course, all home sites are located on the fringes of the course and include estate sites of 1+ acres starting at $139,000, homes that will begin in the $700s and patio home sites starting under $100,000 with homes beginning in the $400s. Though only minutes from shopping, fine dining and the airport, the vast majority of the home sites offer breathtaking, pastoral views of rolling green pastureland , towering hardwood trees and the Blue Ridge Mountains, not to mention the golf course.</p>
<p>Future plans call for a short game practice facility and a membership of 350 members, many of whom will be National Members living outside a 50 mile radius, leaving the golf course available for impulse first-tee walk-ups for its members. Strict architectural guidelines insure that our growing home construction trend will continue to produce some of the most spectacular residences anywhere in the Roanoke Valley area. Memberships are available, but not mandatory for property owners.</p>
<p>Prior to Ballyhack, the land was the site of a working dairy farm, the rural traditions of which are reflected in the two original grain silos that stand sentry over the rolling hills of the property. The ‘green’ course maintenance initiatives feature a small herd of goats employed to help subdue the pesky plants along the creek beds that are unwelcome on any course. A little sweet corn will have them eating out of your hand.</p>
<p>The city of Roanoke is a rare find, too, a small city with many delightful amenities including a clean, trendy and safe downtown area offering an eclectic array of wonderful restaurants, fresh, locally grown produce at an old-time farmers’ market located in the heart of the city, gift shops, art galleries and museums all within a short walk of one another. Mill Mountain Zoo is a fantastic day trip for visiting grand children.</p>
<p>Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the many wineries located in the area. The fertile soil and mild weather of the Blue Ridge Mountains are ideal for growing grapes and several family-run vineyards are producing award winning wines. The Wine Trail of Botetourt County will be added to the bucket list of many a connoisseur.</p>
<p>On the business front, Inc. Magazine named Roanoke one of the 100 best places for business development and Expansion Management Magazine called Roanoke one of the top 50 hottest cities for expansions and relocations.</p>
<p>For healthcare, Carilion Clinic has established a medical center that is among the state-of-the-art complexes in the country, threatening to take its place among the Cleveland Clinics and Mayo Clinics of the medical world. In 2007, Carilion Clinic partnered with Virginia Tech to create the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute (commonly known as VTC). With over 600 physicians representing more than 60 specialties covering 152 practice sites, almost any health concern can be effectively treated.</p>
<p><img class="alignright  wp-image-2135" style="margin: 15px;" title="Ballyhack-Cottages,-Roanoke,-Virginia" src="http://www.golfresortsandcommunities.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Ballyhack-Cottages-Roanoke-Virginia-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />No city in the eastern U.S. can boast more beautiful scenery than this corner of southwestern Virginia and the cost of living is still very low at 87.1% of the cost of the average U.S. city and <em>Cities Ranked and Rated </em>named Roanoke the 11th best city in America to live.</p>
<p>Whether you settle on <a title="Ballyhack Website" href="http://www.ballyhackgolfclub.com/layout9.asp?id=128&amp;page=2116" target="_blank">Ballyhack </a>as a resident, non-resident member or <a title="Ballyhack Play and Stay Packages" href="http://www.ballyhackgolfclub.com/layout9.asp?id=128&amp;page=2116" target="_blank">Play and Stay</a> visitor (our Discovery packages are a very inexpensive way to come), come see a legendary golf course and community in its early stages while you can. You will find the trip very much worth your time.</p>

<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2126" style="margin: 15px;" title="Turtle-Bay-Resort-Golf-Course-Sea-View-Hawaii" src="http://www.golfresortsandcommunities.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Turtle-Bay-Resort-Golf-Course-Sea-View-Hawaii-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" />Among the finest in all of Hawaii, the two championship courses at Turtle Bay have achieved legendary status.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2089" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="Comanche Trace Patio, Kerrville, Texas" src="http://www.golfresortsandcommunities.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Patio900x600_72dpi1-700x466.jpg" alt="" width="584" height="388" /></p>
<p>Consistently rated one of the country’s finest private golf communities, Comanche Trace is also a great value. Located 45 minutes from San Antonio’s north side, and 25 minutes from historic Fredericksburg, in the heart of the beautiful Texas Hill Country, the 1,300-acre master planned community offers homes starting as low as $250,000 <span id="more-2083"></span>and home sites from $59,000. For about $600,000, you can luxuriate in a 3,000 square-foot home on a half-acre lot, with a golf course view.</p>
<p>You won’t find a better representation of the good life in the Lone Star state than at Comanche Trace. This well-established community that recently celebrated its 10th anniversary is welcoming new club members, planning new neighborhoods, and reaping the benefits of sustained, steady growth.</p>
<p>Factor in the low cost of living in Texas, one of the best job outlooks in the nation, no state income tax, plus Comanche Trace’s great golf and amenities, and it is no wonder the community is enjoying a good pace of growth. Twenty-eight new custom homes were completed in 2010 and 2011, bringing the total homes to 300. The outlook for 2012 is just as strong, with seven custom homes under construction and thirteen more in various stages of planning to begin this year. Recent accolades include Where to Retire magazine’s “50 Best Master-Planned Communities”.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2085" style="margin: 15px;" title="Comanche Trace Courtyard, Kerrville, Texas" src="http://www.golfresortsandcommunities.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Courtyard900x600_72dpi1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" />Two new hilltop neighborhoods are in the planning stages. Both offer long-range vistas from some of the community’s most desirable property. One neighborhood will concentrate on eco-friendly construction with products such as solar technology and xeriscaped yards. By exceeding National Green Building Standards Comanche Trace will become the first Texas Hill Country community to do so. The other neighborhood will feature high-end Italian hillside lock-and-leave homes in a village-style enclave.</p>
<p>The reasons for the success of Comanche Trace are as abundant as the sweeping views of the Guadalupe River Valley. There is plenty to boast about in this idyllic community that perfectly blends the charm of small town living with big city convenience. The natural beauty of the Southwest landscape and fantastic year-round climate are a good start, with an average annual high temperature of 78 degrees.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2084" style="margin: 15px;" title="Comanche Trace Clubhouse, Kerrville, Texas" src="http://www.golfresortsandcommunities.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ClubHouse900x600_72dpi1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" />Tom Kite (who knows a thing or two about Hill Country golf) and his partners, Roy Bechtol and Randy Russell, designed the original 18 holes – The Valley and Hills courses that make marvelous use of the exquisite Hill Country terrain with its magnificent oak trees. Stretching 7,103 yards from the tips, the superbly conditioned course is nicely balanced, with a mixture of long and short par 4s. A few years ago, Jay and Carter Morrish added a third nine, the Creeks course that features lakes and creeks. Course conditions are taken very seriously, and thanks to an agreement with the City of Kerrville to purchase treated effluent (recycled) water, Comanche Trace can continue watering even through periods of drought. Golf Digest has ranked the golf courses of Comanche Trace as ”Best in State Architecture Award” for 8 consecutive years. The PGA Texas Valero Open qualifying rounds have been played at Comanche Trace for several years, and the Texas Golf Association rotates many of its top tournaments through, as well.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2088" style="margin: 15px;" title="Comanche Trace Nature Path, Kerrville, Texas" src="http://www.golfresortsandcommunities.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Jogging900x600_72dpi1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" />Members make great use of the eight-acre private river park along the Guadalupe River, and the five-acre catch-and-release lake. There is also a four-mile, crushed granite trail system, community garden, swimming pool and spa, lighted tennis courts, and the stunning 24,000-square foot clubhouse, where fine and casual dining can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere while taking in breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.</p>
<p>Thanks to the management of the financially stable homeowner’s association, annual dues have remained steady at $595 for the last 6 years. The association board is represented by an association manager, both the president of the development and controller of the club, a secretary, and a resident member, nominated and elected by the property owners every two years.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2086" style="margin: 15px;" title="Comanche Trace Dining Room, Kerrville, Texas" src="http://www.golfresortsandcommunities.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Dining900x600_72dpi1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" />Comanche Trace offers many ways to experience the lifestyle; rent a villa for an extended stay or come for a few days with the Stay &amp; Play program, play golf and explore the surroundings. The biennial Tour of Homes showcases several of the newest homes, allowing you the opportunity to meet the preferred builders and tour the community in an air-conditioned charter bus. The knowledgeable staff will take time to introduce you to the community, show you the perfect homesite and walk you through the buying process.</p>
<p>A friendly membership maintains a lively and active social calendar, but also finds plenty to do in the community’s hometown of Kerrville (population 24,000 and change). Well known for its annual Folk Festival and Texas State Arts &amp; Crafts Festival, the town is also popular for its affordable cost of living, great medical facilities, and local cuisine. Local wineries abound in and around Kerrville and the surrounding towns. Kerrville is also home to Schreiner University, a 4-year liberal arts college with an annual enrollment of 1,100 plus students. The downtown is undergoing a $20 million renovation that will add new stores and restaurants, plus a six-mile hiking/biking trail along the river. In the Spring, bluebonnets and other wildflowers perfume the air and suffuse the hillsides in color, giving drivers and motorcyclists a memorable experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Celebrate the great winemaking, golfing, and equestrian traditions of Virginia every day at Viniterra, a private gated community in the New Kent Vineyards Development. Viniterra is home to The Club at Viniterra—the newest 18-hole, championship golf course designed by acclaimed golf course architect Rees Jones—as well as the New Kent Winery, your gateway to the best New World wines in the commonwealth.</p>
<p>An environmentally sustainable community, Viniterra epitomizes upscale living at its finest with 1- to 2-acre estate homesites with woodland, marsh, and golf course views, priced from the $140’s and home packages priced from the $500’s. In addition to the winery and golf club, current amenities include walking, biking, and jogging trails.</p>
