Massanutten Resort – Woodstone Meadows Course
Massanutten Resort invited Virginia Golf Course Reviews back for a review of Woodstone Meadows Golf Course in November 2023. We thoroughly enjoyed the setting. The course was in great shape. The greens rolled so easily – and a little quick – and the bunkers were easy to hit from.
The practice facilities – driving range, putting and chipping areas are fabulous. Woodstone Meadows gets about 38,000 rounds of play – and the tee boxes showed it. On the day of our visit, there were 138 on players on the tee sheet. This course is a Par 65 short course with 9 Par 3s, 5 Par 4s and 2 Par 5s.
The original nine holes (8-16) were built in 1996. From the tips (blue tees) the course plays 5,065 yards; and from the yellow tees (not on the scorecard) it plays about 3,840 yards. This course, though short, should be on your ‘must play’ list. It’s fun, challenging and rewarding. The greens are NOT easy. You must land on the same level of the flag on the green to score well.
Favorite holes: Hole 5 is one of the most fun holes. A Par 4, 400 yard hole that has trouble all along the left, protected by a long fairway bunker and a creek. Keep it on the right side, and your approach (across the creek) to the green gives you an easy shot at birdie. Hole 17, Par 4, 361 – is straight away toward the green with trouble on the left. Keep your drive to right middle of the fairway for an easy approach to the green. Give the clubhouse a call – you’ll have fun!
