Devil’s Knob Golf in Wintergreen Resort

I noticed a lot of players on the Devil’s Knob Golf Course yesterday.  Even though the trees on Wintergreen mountain have not started to green, the golf course looks great.  In yesterday’s blog, I mentioned some great prices on mid-week play.  ($39)  There are some sunny days predicted for next week.  So, join us on Devil’s Knob.  Call 434-325-8251 for more details on Wintergreen Golf.

Devil’s Knob is nationally-known for its beauty and challenge.  Here are a few facts:

• At 3,850 feet, the highest course in the State of Virginia
• Rated one of the State's top courses
• 50-mile views of the Shenandoah and Rockfish valleys
• Surprisingly level mountaintop terrain
• Pleasant 70-85 degree temperatures throughout the spring and summer
• Spacious 16,585 square foot clubhouse, featuring pro shop with top-of-the-line merchandise, locker room, fine dining and snack shop

When Ellis Maples designed this, the highest golf course in Virginia, his challenge was to enhance its stunning Blue Ridge Mountain setting.  Devil’s Knob is usually even 12-15 degrees cooler than its sister course in Stoney Creek.  I have a client who will play on both Stoney Creek and Devil’s Knob today.  Just ask Wintergreen to plan a fun-filled day on both courses for your group, including lunch at the Stoney Creek Bar & Grill.

Wintergreen has a total of 45 holes and can plan a golf event for a group in size from 16-360 people.  

Golf at Stoney Creek

In yesterday’s blog, I mentioned that we are counting down the days until opening day for the Devil’s Knob Golf Course opens.  Well, the good news is that the Stoney Creek golf course is open year-round.  So, you can enjoy golf in Wintergreen this weekend. As a matter of fact, you can going skiing in the morning and then take your lift ticket down to Stoney Creek Golf for a greatly reduced golf afternoon.  Call Stoney Creek Golf for information about this program.  434-325-8250

It’s 27 holes on a Rees Jones designed course in the beautiful Rockfish Valley.    The course is set against dramatic Blue Ridge Mountain views.  There is meandering streams, hardwood forests and pristine wetlands.   Rees Jones’ trademark “mounding” frame each hole.

Shortly, the Devil’s Knob Grill will open for lunch.  We really enjoy the outdoor dining on the patio for lunch.  It provides a great view of the course and a quiet atmosphere.  The menu includes Wintergreen’s popular burger to gourmet soups, salads and sandwiches.

Live Golf-Side at Devil’s Knob

Golf-side houses are very popular in Wintergreen Resort.  I currently have two houses listed with golf access (private path to the course) and one with golf views.  If you enjoy golf, consider a full or part-time residence on the Devil’s Knob Golf Course.  All of these properties would also make a great resort rental.

Resort Memberships are available that offer unlimited golf, or some property owners pay for golf a la carte.

This course is rated #34 Best Courses in the US by Golf Digest.  Conde Nast Traveler magazine selected Wintergreen as one of the Top 50 Golf Resorts in the World.  Come join us….
