The Greenbrier & Virginia Highlands
Highland Course at Primland
Mountain ridge resort golf
Primland is the scenery play that also happens to be real golf. The Highland Course sits on serious Blue Ridge terrain, and the views do not have to carry a weak design. The catch is simple: it is remote, premium, and not a casual add-on.

Had a top notch experience at Primland. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and professional. We were fortunate to essentially have the course to ourselves and it is a unique site lodged deep in the blue ridge mountains. Amazing mountain vistas and wildlife.
