Tuckahoe to Monocan Course
Wintergreen Resort


About this course
Tuckahoe, the elder statesman of Wintergreen Resort's two courses, provides a gentler handshake to the mountain. Carved into the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this Reese Jones design, while not demanding the heroic carries of its sibling, still tests a golfer's strategic thinking and ability to manage the undulations that define this region. The Monocan, in turn, presents a sterner challenge. Tuckahoe's design aesthetic reflects a late 20th-century parkland style, with tree-lined fairways and subtly contoured greens. Errant shots are often forgiven, but smart play is rewarded. Its playability makes it popular with resort guests and those seeking an enjoyable, if not overly punishing, round. The shorter distances and wider landing areas favor those who can control their ball flight and approach shots. While overshadowed by its sister course, Tuckahoe holds a quiet charm. Its membership is largely drawn from the Wintergreen community, fostering a relaxed and convivial atmosphere, where the focus is on camaraderie and enjoying the stunning natural surroundings. The nineteenth hole sees its share of post-round analysis, and local lore suggests that the course record still stands from a visiting Mid-Amateur, a testament to Tuckahoe’s deceptive simplicity. The resort's famed Devil's Grill often fuels the banter, offering hearty fare and scenic views.

Getting there
The journey to Wintergreen Resort unfolds across the Blue Ridge Mountains, with most guests arriving via Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (CHO), roughly ninety minutes to the northeast, or the larger Richmond International (RIC) two hours distant. From either hub, the drive winds southwestward through Virginia's piedmont before ascending into the high country, where the landscape shifts from rolling farmland to dense forest and mountain ridges. The final approach climbs the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge itself, trading interstate pace for a quieter mountain road that delivers you to the resort's elevated plateau - a 3,800-foot perch where the air cools and the world below falls away, setting the tone for an escape defined by altitude and seclusion.
