When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Bedford County?

We've found late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the most ideal conditions for golf here. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures and lush fairways without the peak summer humidity or the chill of late fall. Plus, the fall foliage adds a stunning, colorful backdrop to your rounds.

What kind of golf courses can I expect to find in Bedford County?

Bedford County offers a charming mix, leaning towards classic parkland layouts with some delightful elevation changes.

It's a refreshing change from wide-open resort golf.
