Olde Mill Golf Resort occupies an 800-plus acre mountain property in Laurel Fork, Virginia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains near the North Carolina line. The resort setting includes rolling fairways, natural elevation change and a large lake near the clubhouse. The course was designed by Ellis Maples and opened in the early 1970s. His son Dan Maples and grandson Brad Maples later carried out a multi-year renovation of the layout, rebuilding bunkers and infrastructure while preserving the original routing and green complexes. Olde Mill operates on a semi-private, resort basis with lodging and homesites on the property. Four sets of tees are offered, and the course has built a regional reputation as one of the notable mountain layouts in Virginia.
