Quick Verdict: Boar's Head Resort vs Oakhurst Inn at the University

When Boar's Head Resort wins: choose Boar's Head if you want a full resort experience — on-site championship golf, a large Sports Club, several pools (including a family Aquatics Center and an adults‑only spa pool), expansive meeting and event space, and kid-friendly programming.

When Oakhurst Inn wins: choose Oakhurst Inn if you need to be within easy walking distance of the UVA campus, Scott Stadium and the UVA hospital and prefer a boutique property with fewer rooms and a quieter, more compact footprint.
