Honest Review

This course is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get. Very inconsistent. They do not like to use water when needed, that is a certainty. They have many workers for such a small outcome. The last time I played I saw 4 workers inside and around 10 outside for the course to be in such poor condition. The hitting surface on the range is laughable. Tee boxes are in rough shape, greens were hard as a rock and turning brown/cracking apart. If you happen to catch it right after some rain and they have mowed the greens, then it is playable at least. Also, food option at the course is limited to a vending machine and the pro shop has sewer smell.

Walked

The best public course in southern WV by far

The course conditions were very good, greens were appropriately fast, fairways and rough in good shape. I read some reviews from summer that said the course was burned up, this is not the case now in early fall. I was able to walk on and get a tee time on a Saturday and the pace of play was fine. No real waiting to speak of. Great deal and the views (esp. from 17) are unbeatable. Recommend highly.

Pace of play horrible

Booked round for 11am on golf now. After three holes we are on number 4 tee box. Place over books and have no ranger or Marshall to push play! I understand slow play but we have 4 groups at the tee box with us and staff refuse to do anything!

Very nice State Park course.

This has always been a favorite course in southern WV. Greens are bent grass and a little slow but with only a couple of exceptions very good shape. Fairways are not so good with lots of bare areas and lots of trash grass. Pace of play was excellent.

Great Mix

Narrow tee shots, elevated greens, tree lined fairways, and even the occasional wide open “let er rip” holes; this course requires you to hit many shots. Great greens that roll true and quick. Course measures just over 6700 from the tips and has many long holes.
