Golf at The Olde Farm

Pure golf,
shaped by the land.

A nationally recognized Bobby Weed design where mountain views, strategic choices and quiet rural character create an experience that feels both timeless and entirely its own.

The Experience

Old-school character. Modern distinction.

The complete lack of distraction is part of what makes golf here unforgettable.

The Olde Farm’s links-inspired course moves naturally across rolling farmland in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. Bentgrass greens, tees and fairways are framed by Kentucky bluegrass rough, creating firm, refined playing surfaces and a strong visual connection to the landscape.

Strategic angles, broad views and thoughtful green complexes reward imagination rather than prescribing a single way to play. The result is a course that remains engaging across many rounds and every level of golfer.

Bobby Weed Design

A course with a clear sense of place.

Bobby Weed’s routing works with the property rather than against it, allowing the contours, elevation changes and rural landscape to shape both strategy and character.

“Old school yet representative of the future of golf.”

The course earned Golf Digest’s Best New Private Course recognition in 2000 and has continued to receive national acclaim for its architecture and enduring quality.
