Olde Mill Golf Resort

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

Olde Mill Golf Resort occupies the pastoral hills of Southwest Virginia's Carroll County, only minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Its course has built a reputation, on the strength of history, playability and conditioning, as one of the best mountain golf layouts in the eastern United States. Four sets of tees keep the design demanding without making it unpleasant for weaker players. The Maples family's long tradition of building acclaimed courses reaches back to the late 1800s and carries through at Olde Mill today. Overnight guests choose between The Gallery at the 18th condominiums and the Birdie Lane Cottages. The condominiums hold two bedrooms and two baths above the 18th green, each with a full kitchen and living room for stretching out. Golf packages begin at $178 per night per person and cover lodging, a round of golf and breakfast. Maples Restaurant ranges from salads and sandwiches to 21-day dry-aged Sterling Silver Angus beef, backed by a rotating list of 18 or more hand-selected reds and whites. A recreational membership priced at $50 a month from March through October opens the fitness center, tennis and pickleball. Pickleball court construction and tennis court refurbishment were slated for completion in June 2024. The resort's new event center handles weddings, corporate meetings and other gatherings. Reservations run through the resort itself at 2258 Stone Mountain Road in Laurel Fork, reachable by phone at 276-398-2211.
