The Lodge and Cottages at Primland is an extraordinary destination for leisure travelers, groups and businesses, golfers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a relaxed setting in which to pursue their passion and reconnect with the spirit of nature.

Located in the Blue Ridge mountain town of Meadows of Dan, a few miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway in southwest Virginia, Primland includes over 12,000 park-like acres with more than 90 miles of roads and trails. The breathtaking 20-minute drive from the entrance to the Lodge unveils Primland’s drama: distant views from the Blue Ridge and the full breadth of the flora and fauna of this large estate.

A focal point of the property is the magnificent new 72,000–square-foot Lodge that overlooks the first tee and the 18th green and takes full advantage of the property’s spectacular scenery. As Lodge guests immediately discover, access is provided to an array of amenities, including casual and elegant dining, a spa, an intimate theater, fitness center, a breathtaking astronomical observatory, and exquisite golf.

The Highland Golf Course, designed by Donald Steel, winds its way throughout Primland’s Blue Ridge landscape, playing across ridge tops and over valleys, combining challenging golf with breathtaking scenery at every turn.

According to Mr. Steel: “There is remoteness about Primland, a sense of escape that is special. Golf courses have been built in every landscape imaginable but rarely on mountain peaks. Primland sits on top of the world, enjoying scenic views that stretch the vocabulary.”
