Boar’s Head Resort sits just west of Charlottesville on a broad estate at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, only minutes from the University of Virginia. Rooms are spread among several buildings, while suites and cottages add fireplaces, balconies and more residential layouts. Birdwood Golf is a major draw, with an 18-hole championship course, par-three course and practice facilities.

Boar’s Head Resort spreads across 600 Virginia acres with championship golf, elite racquet facilities, a full spa and classic country-estate rooms minutes from UVA.
