American Restaurants near Wintergreen Resort

“We had reservations for Mother's Day. The restaurant staff was excellent and the food was very good. The roast beef was somewhat on the rare end of the scale so not for those of us who like medium to well done. Fruit, vegetables, chicken, pasta, gravy, and desserts were all A+. Would definitely go again.“

“The Copper Mine at Wintergreen was “temporarily” closed in 2020 during the pandemic. Now, at the end of 2022, it remains closed. It is still set up as a restaurant; the signs remain and it is still on the Wintergreen website. Nearly every other restaurant at Wintergreen has reopened. No one has presented a good explanation why the Copper Mine remains closed. I frequented this restaurant many times in the past and hope to visit again, someday.“

“We rented the full farmhouse and cottage for my daughter’s wedding, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, every detail added to the joy of the weekend. I especially loved watching the lambs and sheep play in the barnyard each morning—it was such a charming touch. They graciously accommodated a bridesmaids’ brunch and were flexible with wine hours and breakfast timing, which made everything feel relaxed and personalized. We truly couldn’t be happier with our choice.“

“Ive been there twice after a backpacking trip and I love the service, food, views and beer“

“Many thanks to the staff working tonight!! Our 10U softball girls, coaches, and families celebrated the end of a great season with yummy food and delicious ice cream! The staff accommodated a rush of 20-30 people (maybe more 😅) in the last hour before closing and greeted everyone with a smile and incredible service! Everything was made quickly and everyone had a great time! Thank you all so much! 👏🏻“

“Stoney Creek Golf Course is a 27-hole Rees Jones-designed layout located about 15 minutes from the main resort. The layouts incorporate the native habitat and natural springs, and flow naturally with the lay of the land. Each course has generous landing areas, large, undulating greens, and a few forced carries. Unlike Devils Knob, Stoney Creek will have you hitting every club in your bag.

If you want to “ease in” to the golf course, start on Shamokin. Because of its location in the valley, Shamokin is relatively flat, which appeals to more golfers, yet it offers enough challenge to get a seasoned player’s attention. There are very few uphill, downhill, or sidehill lies. The course winds through hardwood forests and alongside meandering streams, with each hole presenting a different view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The par-3, 7th hole is Shamokin’s signature hole. Although the scorecard puts the yardage at 180 from the White tees, the hole plays considerably shorter due to the dramatic 150-foot drop from tee to green. The tee shot is exhilarating with the Blue Ridge Mountains as the backdrop.

The Monocan nine is the shortest of the three nine-hole layouts at Stoney Creek. The holes wind through pristine wetlands, hardwood forests, and along meandering streams, often offering breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As you would expect from a course in the valley, most holes are relatively flat, with few elevation changes. But what the course lacks in elevation change, it makes up for in water hazards in the form of creeks and lakes/ponds. When you combine the peaceful Rockfish Valley with the sound of natural flowing water and woodland birds, you can forget about those bad shots.

The par-3, 5th hole is the layout’s signature hole. It’s dubbed the “Paw Print” green and gets its name from the four pot bunkers that surround the green and look like a paw print. It’s challenging, too. Playing 148 yards from the White tees, it’s all carry over Lake Monocan to the small green.

The Tuckahoe Nine is pure mountain golf. Water comes into play on four holes, and the hilly terrain comes into play on nearly every hole. The surrounding landscape alternates between gentle meadows and bold, wooded slopes. Dramatic elevation changes require that you pay attention to your footing and stance, especially on uneven lies. If that doesn’t get you, the undulating greens might. No putt is truly a “gimmee!” Jones’ signature mounding serves as a buffer, preventing balls from running too far afield, while simultaneously creating risk-reward opportunities for those willing to attack the pin.

It's important to get off to a good start at Tuckahoe, which may prove challenging as the 1st hole is a 429-yard, par 4. The hill on the left side tends to guide somewhat errant tee shots back towards the fairway, but if your drive drifts too far right, it’s in the lake. A good drive still left me a long iron into the raised, sloping green that is protected by bunkers on either side.

No matter how good or bad you played, take a step back and take in your surroundings. Breathe that fresh mountain air and get ready to do it all again tomorrow.“

“I’ve been twice and both times were better than any music festival I’ve been to. Very well organized and ran. The camping is phenomenal that time of year in that part of the country. They take it a step beyond with the amenities and cleanliness they provide. I’ve already purchased mine and my wife’s tickets and campsite for this year!!“
