Best Golf Hotels in Virginia

The Crossings Golf Club at the Virginia Crossings Hotel & Conference Center sits on historic Civil War battlefields. Designed by Joe Lee, the 18-hole championship course is one of Virginia’s best public golf courses, with rolling fairways bordered by dense forests. Qualifying events for the U.S. Publinks Championship and Nike Tour have been held at the Crossings, and the hotel’s event staff can organize corporate golf outings and tournaments for up to 144 guests.

This resort houses three golf courses: the 18-hole par-72 Robert Trent Jones Jr. Course, the 18-hole Greg Norman Course and the 9-hole Sharkbite Course, where junior golfers can practice their game or try out foot golf. The 45,000-square-foot clubhouse boasts a restaurant, a bar, locker room facilities with a Jacuzzi and steam sauna, a 4,200-square-foot ballroom, an outdoor dining terrace and a pro shop.

Named the No. 45 golf course on Golfweek's "Best 100 Resort Courses, 2017" list, Full Cry at Keswick Hall & Golf Club was designed by Pete Dye. The name pays homage to the course's setting in the heart of Virginia foxhunting country. The scenic 18-hole course is walkable and all but one of the greens have open fronts. The golf club offers a pro shop, a practice range, caddy service and a grill.

The Birdwood Golf Course offers 18 holes, a Pro Shop, a Golf Academy and an indoor, year-round golf experience called the Swing Studio. Since late 2018, the course has been closed for renovations. The resort anticipates reopening the course in early summer 2020.

This resort has two 18-hole, par-70 golf courses: the Cascades Course and the Old Course. Both courses have short-game practice facilities and offer golf instruction. The Old Course, finished in 1892, is considered the country's oldest first tee in continuous use.

The resort's par-3, 9-hole golf course is complimentary for guests to use. An 18-hole course at the property's Golden Eagle Golf Club is also available nearby. The latter facility offers lessons and clinics, as well as a juniors golf camp.

Wintergreen Resort has 45 holes of championship golf on two courses – Devils Knob Golf Course and Stoney Creek Golf Course. Devils Knob sits at an elevation of 3,850 feet, making it the highest course in Virginia, and offers views of the Shenandoah and Rockfish valleys. Stoney Creek is the resort's 27-hole course that is open year-round. There is also the Wintergreen Golf Academy, where guests can perfect their game.

Named for its resemblance to Scotland's terrain and its Scottish-born designer, Donald Steel, the Highland Course at Primland weaves through the surrounding mountain landscape for challenging play with spectacular views. Both clinics and private lessons are available.
