Experience Virginia’s most beautiful golf in the Shenandoah
Valley. The 18-hole par 72 features bentgrass tees,
fairways, and greens. Seven sets of tees (including two
PGA Family Tees) allow for a challenging, yet pleasurable,
golf experience for players of all skill levels. Measuring
just over 7300 yards from the tips, the layout consists of
two very distinct 9-hole sides. The front features several
holes cut through hardwoods, while the back nine plays in
a valley. Blue Ridge Shadows has been continually ranked
as one of America’s Top 50 Women-Friendly courses
in the United States by Golf Digest Woman Magazine!
Surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, the
resort features a full-service Holiday Inn Hotel and Spa.
You will find the facility just one hour from the Washington,
DC, beltway, just off exit #6 on I-66.

“Best of Shenandoah Valley” —Northern Virginia Daily 2014-15
“Top Must Play Courses” —GolfStyles
Nestled in the northern neck of the Shenandoah Valley
against the backdrop of the striking Blue Ridge Mountains,
lies picturesque Bowling Green Country Club. For over
30 years, both the North and South courses offer golfer-
friendly designs with gently rolling terrain, finely manicured
conditions and smooth bent grass putting surfaces. The
North course features several lakes, towering willows,
and even an island green. The South course is a shorter
course from today’s standards and is a favorite amongst
seniors and ladies but has plenty of character golf for
players of all abilities with its rolling fairways and large,
undulating greens. Bowling Green North and South are
located between Winchester and Front Royal, off Route
522. Wingfield Golf Properties now manages the courses.
