Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
Virginia is famous for its historical sites, sumptuous oysters, and breathtaking beaches. Yet nothing stands out more than its iconic mountains, which include parts of the Appalachians and the Blue Ridge. You will find some of the top Virginia mountain golf courses tucked away in this dramatic landscape. But what makes golf in the Virginia Mountains special? Read on to find out.
Playing Golf in the Virginia Mountains
Golf in the Virginia Mountains is a unique experience for lovers of the sport. One of the reasons people play golf is to unwind and relax. The Virginia Mountains are teeming with vibrant greenery, fresh air, and warm sunshine. In fall, the foliage turns into deep shades of orange, red, brown, and gold, creating a surreal but comforting ambiance. The area offers the perfect escape for avid golfers.
Your golf course options are vast and varied, and you can choose one that is affordable, history-steeped, cutting-edge, or ultra-luxurious. Beyond the golf courses, the region continues to amaze its guests with charming small towns, boutique wineries, craft breweries, intriguing museums, and national parks. Wherever you go, though, you can’t escape the incredible vistas. In fact, the only ‘downside’ to playing golf in the Virginia Mountains is that the striking scenery may distract you before you can even tee off.
The Perfect Blue Ridge Cabin Rental
When you’re in the Virginia Mountains for golf, it only makes sense you stay in a cabin with easy and quick access to a golf course. The Wintergreen Mountain and Ski Getaway is your ideal golf-front retreat. This three-story home lies a short distance from Wintergreen Resort, home to some of Virginia’s best mountaintop and mountain view golf courses.
After a day spent playing golf in the Virginia Mountains, you can go home to your comfortable and cozy cabin. Nap in one of the spacious bedrooms, soak your tired muscles in the bathtub, prepare a meal in the well-equipped kitchen, lounge on the fluffy couch in the living area, or relax with a glass of wine on the patio. If you’re vacationing with your friends or family, you can use the amenities in the recreation room, which has a pool table, foosball, board games, and ping pong. On warm evenings, you can cook barbeque on the outdoor grill or sit around the fire pit making smores.
