Wintergreen Resort

Wintergreen Resort's Monocan to Shamokin course is a mountain layout forged from the rugged slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains, demanding creativity and a tolerance for uneven lies. Built in the late 20th century, the course weaves through hardwood forests and dramatic elevation changes, presenting a distinctly challenging, if not particularly celebrated, test of golf near Route 664. Designed by Rees Jones, the course favors players who can manage their ball flight and strategize their way around tight doglegs. Errant shots are penalized severely by the unforgiving terrain, rewarding accuracy over brute force. While it lacks the prestige of nationally recognized venues, Monocan to Shamokin provides a stern, visually stunning golfing experience. Though not steeped in major championship lore, Wintergreen enjoys a vibrant resort membership. Locals and visitors alike flock to the club for its annual member-guest events and casual rounds amid the spectacular mountain scenery. After a challenging round, players gather to enjoy hearty, locally sourced meals, a fitting end to a day spent battling the slopes of Monocan to Shamokin.
