15. Kingsmill, Woods course, Williamsburg, 26 • www.kingsmill.com; 757-253-1703

"Quiet," "lovely," "playable," say the Zagateers. One of three courses at the resort.

16. Raspberry Falls, Leesburg, 26* • www.raspberryfalls.com; 703-779-2555

Links-style course with deep bunkers, mounded fairways and country club service.

17. Westfields, Clifton, 26* www.westfieldsgolf.com; 703-631-3300

A Fred Couples layout that requires you to think your way around, the raters say.

18. Wintergreen, Stoney Creek course, 25 www.wintergreenresort.com; 434-325-8250

The 27-hole valley layout is a challenging players' course by Rees Jones. For heat relief, try the resort's narrow, tricky Devil's Knob mountaintop layout.
