Boar's Head (Birdwood)
The Birdwood Golf Course at Boar's Head Resort is a wonderfully natural and pleasantly testing layout, which benefitted from a complete redesign in 2019. The new Love Design layout should not disappoint, with many attractive features and 18 excellent holes to enjoy.
The new layout utilises the existing clubhouse while still also passing by the historic Birdwood Mansion. The new routing, which flows through valleys, over ridges, and across creeks, opened up wonderful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Stay&Play at Boar's Head Resort: luxury onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted: anytime (Mon-Thur); after 1pm (Fri-Sun). Golf carts available to rent.
