Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to visit Olde Beau for the ultimate golf experience and those famous mountain views?
We always recommend late spring or early fall for Olde Beau. In May and June, the course is lush and vibrant, while September and October offer spectacular Blue Ridge Mountain foliage, making every shot a postcard moment. You'll find comfortable temperatures perfect for a full day on the links.
How challenging is Olde Beau, especially with its mountain layout? Is it suitable for all handicaps?
Olde Beau is a true mountain test, but it's fair for all skill levels if you play the right tees. You'll encounter dramatic elevation changes and sloping lies, so precision is key, not just power. We suggest embracing the downhill drives and uphill approaches-it's part of the fun.
What's the "must-play" hole or a specific highlight we shouldn't miss at Olde Beau?
You absolutely cannot miss the par-3 17th hole-it's a stunner. With a significant downhill shot to a green framed by the mountains, it's both visually spectacular and a thrilling challenge. Take an extra club, soak in the view, and try to stick it close.
Beyond the golf, what can we expect from the "Resort" aspect of Olde Beau? Is it a full destination?
While golf is certainly the star, Olde Beau offers a cozy, welcoming resort experience. You'll find comfortable lodging options right on-site and a clubhouse restaurant with fantastic views, perfect for unwinding after your round. It's an ideal spot for a relaxed golf getaway, not an overwhelming mega-resort.
What practical advice do you have for navigating the unique mountain conditions at Olde Beau?
Be prepared for temperature swings, even on a sunny day-mountain weather can change quickly, so layers are your friend. We also recommend bringing extra golf balls; those dramatic drops and tight fairways can be unforgiving if you're not dialed in. Enjoy the cart paths, as walking this course is a serious workout.
