A Summit Retreat · September 21, 2026
On the mountain, or near it
Set on 12,000 acres atop the Blue Ridge in Meadows of Dan, Virginia, Primland is the kind of place people remember. Championship golf, world-class shooting, a full spa, and a kitchen that knows what it’s doing—all above 3,000 feet with views that stretch into North Carolina. The Highland Terrace at sunset is worth the drive alone.
Guest Resources
Come for the day. Stay for the fundraiser. Stay on property at Primland if you can — no driving, no logistics, just the mountain. If you’re staying off-site, plan your transportation before you arrive. The roads in and out are winding mountain roads and rideshare is not reliable in this area.
If you are coming in a day early or making a golf trip of it, Olde Mill in Laurel Fork is the local pick — and it solves lodging and a second round at the same time.
Eighteen holes designed by Ellis Maples, open since 1973. Bent-grass greens, bluegrass fairways, water in play and a lot of bunkering. A genuinely good mountain course at a fraction of resort pricing.
Condos overlooking the 18th green, four-bedroom Birdie Lane cottages, cabins and a three-bedroom lodge — most with full kitchens. Built for groups, so a foursome can share a cottage instead of booking four rooms.

Your drive in on US-58 takes you through the newly widened Lovers Leap — a $300 million, 7.4-mile mountain-moving project that transformed one of the most dramatic stretches of highway in Virginia from two lanes to four. Branch Civil finished the job ahead of schedule, moving more mountain than most people will see in a lifetime. The road you’ll drive on September 21 is brand new. Enjoy it.
