WINTERGREEN, Va. (March 16, 2011) – While Wintergreen Resort’s guests continue to make the most of the Blue Ridge Mountains’ winter snowpack, the early spring weather is golfer-friendly at Wintergreen’s Stoney Creek Golf Course, down in the Rockfish Valley, 3,000 feet below the resort’s popular winter playground.
And to help golfers enjoy the 27-hole layout by the award-winning Rees Jones, Wintergreen Resort is extending its Golf Escape Package, which allows golfers to play all day, as many holes as they want.
The unlimited golf (per night’s stay) is accompanied by an endless supply of crisp, clean air that is as invigorating as a hole-in-one. Choose from a variety of accommodation options that include studios, lodge rooms and condominiums (1 to 5 bedrooms).
The Golf Escape Package includes:
• Accommodations, double occupancy per bedroom
• Advanced starting times at time of reservation
• Unlimited use of practice facilities
• Club storage and locker room service
• Unlimited use of the Aquatics & Fitness Center
• Valid daily through April 14, 2011 (except holidays)
• Rates range from $79-$99 per person
Of course, all snowsports enthusiasts are always welcome on the course. And for those who love the slopes and the putting greens, too, they can show their same-day lift ticket and play a complimentary round of 18 holes at Stoney Creek (cart fee is additional).
Starting in April, Wintergreen will launch its 2011 Stay & Play Golf Package, which includes spacious mountaintop accommodations and 18 holes of golf daily, with a guaranteed round at the acclaimed Devils Knob, Virginia’s highest elevated golf course overlooking the mountain range from the top of the resort. This year, guests of the Stay & Play Golf Package also receive discounts on Callaway performance rental clubs (50 percent) and on the purchase of Footjoy golf shoes (20 percent).
The Stay & Play Golf Package includes:
• Accommodations, double occupancy per bedroom
• 18 holes of golf daily (per nights stay)
• Advance starting times at time of reservation
• Unlimited use of practice facilities
• Club storage and locker room service
• Rates start at $99 per person
