About
Olde Mill Golf Resort opened in 1972 and has recently been renovated, making it one of the premiere destinations in the Southeast.
Ellis Maples was the architect of Olde Mill Golf Resort, and his son and grandson continued the family legacy by updating it. The result is astounding, with breathtaking views, challenging tees, and dangerous hazards.
The 18-hole course has 4 tees, which accommodate golfers of all ages, genders, and rankings. This makes Olde Mill one of the best mountain golf courses in the eastern U.S.
Initially a private club, it is now open to the public for golfers, young and old to indulge in its blend of beauty and challenge.
Because it is located near area attractions like Devil's Den Nature Preserve, families can easily combine two adventures in a day. Another option is while some are golfing, others explore the towns of Fancy Gap and Laurel Fork, perhaps dining at Pit Stop Pasta & Grill. No matter which group you fall into, it's a win-win.
Whether you're a pro or amateur or want to learn to golf, visiting Olde Mill Golf Resort will add value to your Blue Ridge Parkway vacation.
