Ah, the much-anticipated family vacation. When kids get a break from school and parents enjoy an escape from work. The challenge? Finding a trip that has something for everyone. Don’t worry! Simply make a reservation at Lansdowne, one of the nation’s top golf resorts for families and TripAdvisor’s #1 Best Value in Virginia Golf Resorts. Because we don’t just offer a place to stay, with your choice of deluxe guestrooms and spacious suites. We deliver an all-in-one destination with the amenities and activities that will have every family member saying, “I never want this vacation to end!”

Course Correction

Some golf resorts cater exclusively to avid players. On the other end of the spectrum are those with poorly maintained facilities, undeserving of the game. Lansdowne Resort is different. As one of the premier clubs in the Mid-Atlantic region, our courses are always kept in a condition that will impress scratch golfers, but are not intimidating to those newer to the sport. All three are reserved for the exclusive use of club members and resort guests.

Sharkbite, our 9-hole family-friendly golf course, drives home the excitement for all ages and abilities. With total yardage between 870 (from the junior’s tee box) and 2,300 (from the back tees), Sharkbite is the great equalizer. Players ready for a challenge can reserve a tee time on our Greg Norman or Robert Trent Jones, Jr. 18-hole championship courses. And the Lansdowne Golf Academy provides professional instruction and training camps that are true game-changers.

In The Swim

Picture this: you’re lounging with your latest book club read while the kids get to cool off in one of our three outdoor pools — one even boasts zero-depth entry — or play on our splash pad. It’s straight-up summer vibes and one of the hallmarks of the coveted resort lifestyle. When lunchtime rolls around, Currents Grill is right there with kid-approved food, sandwiches, salads and other light fare, plus perfect poolside cocktails and refreshments to toast an afternoon of familial bliss.

Holding Court

Your children may have learned the latest sports craze in school. Now you can get into the action too! Or play a doubles match of the game you love with the family. All Lansdowne Resort guests enjoy complimentary access to our two tennis and three pickleball courts for the duration of your stay. Talk about some high-energy bonding!

Wellness Wonders

Adults can power up or get pampered (or both) at Lansdowne Resort! Our expansive fitness center — complete with cardio equipment, free weights, kettlebells, TRX Suspension Systems, indoor heated pool, group classes and more — means you don’t need to skip a beat in maintaining your workout regimen. When it comes to pampering, there is no equal to Spa Minérale. The comprehensive services menu includes Wellness Massages, Skincare & Hydrafacials, Wellness Bodywork, Body Rituals, Body Treatments and Salon Services. Feel your cares melt away!
