Considering a Home in The Woods?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Woods and the surrounding Eastern Panhandle golf market.
The Woods is not a subdivision built near a golf resort -- it is the golf resort's own residential product, developed continuously since 1976 across 1,800 wooded acres at the northern gateway to the Shenandoah Valley. More than 1,200 cottages, chalets, and single-family homes now sit on lots ranging from deep-woods seclusion to direct golf-course and mountain frontage, owned by a mix of Washington D.C./Baltimore-area vacation-home buyers, retirees, and a growing number of full-time Eastern Panhandle commuters.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Every homeowner is a mandatory member of the nonprofit Woods Homeowners Association (WHOA), which governs the subdivision's covenants and common areas and has operated independently of the resort's amenity operator since 1980. Golf/recreation club membership is a separate matter: new homes bought through the resort's own developer (PVP, Inc.) reportedly include it bundled at no added initiation fee, while resale buyers must join separately for a reported initiation fee if they want golf access.
Living in The Woods
Homes range from smaller bungalows and chalets tucked among the trees to larger contemporary homes directly beside the Mountain View and Stony Lick fairways or set into the mountainside, reflecting five decades of continuous, developer-driven construction rather than a single-phase build-out.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Residents have access to two golf courses, two pools, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball/volleyball and softball facilities, hiking trails into the adjacent Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area, a full-service spa, and a restaurant/pub, along with community events like the annual WoodsFest festival.
Location & Surrounding Area
Located in Berkeley County roughly halfway between Berkeley Springs and Martinsburg, about 90 minutes from both Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
