Wintergreen Resort Devil’s Knob Golf Course
Perched high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains at over 3,800 feet, Devils Knob Golf Course at Wintergreen Resort offers a one-of-a-kind experience for golf travelers seeking stunning views, cooler summer temperatures, and championship-level play. As the highest elevation course in Virginia, Devils Knob delivers a fresh and invigorating round of golf—often 10 to 15 degrees cooler than surrounding areas—which makes it an ideal escape during the warmer months.
Designed by renowned architect Ellis Maples, Devils Knob is a true mountain course with dramatic elevation changes, tight tree-lined fairways, and pristine bentgrass greens. Each hole presents a strategic challenge, requiring precision off the tee and thoughtful approach shots. With a par of 70, the layout rewards shotmakers and offers multiple tee options, making it enjoyable for a wide range of skill levels. At just under 7,000 yards from the tips, the course delivers both challenge and charm in equal measure.
What truly sets Devils Knob apart is the natural beauty that surrounds every hole. Sweeping vistas of the Shenandoah and Rockfish Valleys appear throughout the round, while dense forests of oaks and maples frame the fairways. Wildlife sightings are common, and the peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere makes it easy to stay present and soak in the setting.
The course is exclusively available to Wintergreen Resort guests and members, which ensures top-tier playing conditions and an unhurried pace of play. Guests booking through Virginia Golf Vacations can enjoy access to Devils Knob Monday through Thursday.
