Website Description:
Golf year round in the Rockfish River valley on our nationally ranked Stoney Creek Golf Course, and you'll discover why Conde Nast Traveler magazine selected Wintergreen as one of the "Top 50 Golf Resorts in the World."
Upon completion of this gem, the "Open Doctor" Rees Jones remarked, "I think what Stoney Creek is to me, is one of the great settings in mountain golf." And why not? Offering spectacular vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Monocan, Shamokin and Tuckahoe "nines" wind their way through the Rockfish Valley and combine to make this a contemporary design classic. With elevation changes, contoured greens and the occasional side hill lie, Jones brought the natural elements of the landscape into play: meandering streams, hardwood forests and pristine wetlands.
Winter golf in Virginia? It's true. Few other places on earth provide the opportunity to snow ski in the morning and play championship-caliber golf later in the day. Because of a dramatic 3,000 foot change in elevation, it happens at Wintergreen. Ski and tee with us!
For tee times, course conditions, events and more information, call 434-325-8250.
Set against dramatic Blue Ridge Mountains
- 27 Holes
- Surprising elevation changes
- Rees Jones' trademark "moundings" frame each hole
