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.
