Woodstone Meadows at Massanutten Resort

Woodstone Meadows is an Arnold Palmer-designed course that serves as part of the Massanutten Resort complex in McGaheysville, Virginia, situated in the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg. The course opened in the 1990s as the resort expanded its recreational offerings beyond skiing and mountain activities. Palmer's design work here reflects his characteristic approach to resort golf: creating an accessible layout that accommodates a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain of the Virginia piedmont.

The routing takes advantage of the rolling topography typical of this region, with elevation changes that provide variety without becoming overly demanding for resort guests. The course moves through a combination of wooded corridors and open meadow areas, with views toward the surrounding Blue Ridge and Massanutten Mountain ranges. Water features come into play on several holes, and the bunkering follows Palmer's preference for strategic placement that rewards accurate shot-making while offering recovery options for higher-handicap players.

As part of a four-season resort property, Woodstone Meadows caters primarily to vacationing families and groups visiting Massanutten for its skiing, water park, and other amenities. The course operates within the resort's broader hospitality infrastructure, offering a golf option that complements rather than dominates the overall guest experience. The setting in the Shenandoah Valley provides a scenic backdrop, with the course serving as a recreational amenity for those exploring Virginia's mountain country.
