Back
The Greenbrier is West Virginia's most famous golf playground. Discerning travelers might place the "almost Heaven" tag on it, but there are other scenic and more affordable places to play for public golfers.
GolfPass releases a Top 10 Public Golf Courses in West Virginia every March thanks to YOU. We create our annual Golfers' Choice lists by curating the reviews submitted by everyday golfers. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages.
Each course needed at least one review and at least some public access to qualify.
We make our Golfers' Choice best-of lists user friendly for public golfers. Simply click on the photo of each course to learn more about the facility or to book a tee time (in most cases).

How the Rankings Are Determined
Review Requirements
We analyzed more than 350 reviews of West Virginia golf courses published on GolfPass in 2025 (until our Dec. 1 cutoff date) to determine the list. Each course needed at least one review by real golfers to be eligible.
GolfPass Rating Index
This was created to provide a more accurate indication of a golf course's current overall rating. Newer reviews are weighted heavier than older ones, as are reviews from golfers who leave more reviews. (In this way, they become trusted sources).
Who This List Is Best For
Golfers’ Choice measures what every day golfers think makes a course great, including playability, enjoyment, value and service not just architectural prestige or pedigree. Golfers’ Choice ranks the best golf courses based on real golfer reviews - highlighting prestigious, architecturally significant courses alongside hidden gem public golf courses that everyday golfers genuinely love and recommend.

Cacapon Resort State Park
Berkeley Springs, West VirginiaResort/MunicipalGreen fee: $44-$65+
What they're saying: "This course is always in great condition and always a blast to play. They’ve always had fluffy greens and now they’re shorter and more challenging. You can’t beat the price and season passes are something I’m truly interested in. Staff is friendly and social. Best range in the area, when it’s open.. non-availability of the range is the only complaint I have. They close it too early and it’s closed a lot of the time." - DeresaurousRexxx -
