Boar’s Head Resort, the 600-acre property located in the foothills of Charlottesville, VA, has made additions and enhancements to its sports, recreation as well as meeting and event facilities ahead of the summer season. The historic resort will upgrade its golf course and add new padel courts. Further property enhancements will be rounded out with upgrades to the meeting and event facilities.
The resort’s updates come ahead of the forthcoming debut of the on-site Birdwood Mansion, the 19th century estate that is being restored and transformed into a seven-room luxury boutique hotel. Slated to debut in the fall of 2025, Birdwood Mansion will serve as a hotel-within-a-hotel experience and events destination steeped in history.
Expanding the property’s existing racket sports offerings, Boar’s Head Resort will open three new padel courts. The addition introduces one of the world’s fastest-growing racket sports to The Sports Club, alongside programming for guests and visitors to enjoy. On May 30, resort guests and Charlottesville residents are invited to attend the grand opening complete with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and exhibition match. Members and hotel guests can book a court, clinic or summer camps by visiting the resort’s website.
Additionally, the championship Birdwood Golf Course is completing a series of improvements, including the construction of five new tee boxes across the facility’s nearly 200 acres of rolling land. Notable changes include a new back tee box at hole 18, which will stretch the hole to 500-plus yards and allow it to be played as a par-5, creating a challenging final hole for championship tournaments on the heels of recently hosting the NCAA Women’s Regional Tournament.
The renovations to the golf course are being conducted while daily play continues, with the new tees available for play by the summer. The enhanced course is poised to draw greater appeal for golf outings and retreats, especially to pair with a stay at the soon-to-open Birdwood Mansion.
Boar’s Head Resort unveiled a total renovation of The Pavilion, the resort’s signature groups and meetings venue. As part of the refurbishments across the entire space, updates were made to modernize the space while maintaining its warm, welcoming ambiance. With nearly 6,000 square feet of flexible space, The Pavilion stands poised to accommodate meetings, conferences and retreats of all kinds.
The restoration completion and launch of Birdwood Mansion is anticipated in the fall of 2025, with more details to be announced soon.
