Awesome

We were fortunate that we were able to get out a little earlier than our tee time. Nobody in front of us so we were able to play at a nice pace without any delays.

Well worth the drive

First time playing here. It was great! Course is in amazing shape considering how dry and hot it's been. Great layout Challenging but fair. Fairways were immaculate. Greens were on the slwer side, but rolled true. Played from the Whites, but will probably move back a tee next time.

Palmer Course 7/14/20

Was a wonderful day on the Palmer Course at Oglebay. Have played this course a number of times and love it every time. It is a great course with a really cool layout. It is challenging but playable. The conditions, even with how dry it has been, were great. Some of the greens were hard but that was to be expected with the weather we have had. We love this course and would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone.

Great course for a HOT DEAL

Course was in great shape for 90+F degree day ( we teed off at 140 pm). Staff was friendly, but Covid-19 rules played in their ease in helping customers. Greens were superb, with a variety of contours, shapes, and sizes. As a higher end public course, this is definitely worth the trip. Our thanks to all employees there, please continue to be safe in these trying times.

Golfer94

Course is literally on a mountain. Lots of shots with ball above and below feet. Greens were fast but very narrow. (Hard to hold) some what of target golf. Played high school state golf tournament there so nice to relive memories but deff not worth the rate they charge for summer time play. $45 max!!

Enjoyable

In spite of a lot of rain in the last two days, the course was in a very good condition - fairways, greens and tee boxes. Interesting layout. Friendly staff.
