Oglebay Resort - Crispin Course

Tee boxes are in bad shape. Slice seeding on some of the fairways which isn’t desirable.

Best course for price for a Saturday. Fairway grass need to be shorter. Backed up all the way around so that took away from the round. Course is just tired but can’t complain for the value for Saturday play.

Always a fun play. Have never had a bad experience at Crispin.

They may be friendly but they need a new grounds crew…..it was atrocious! It’s in as bad if not worse condition than harmony ridge in ambridge!

I play the Crispin course 2 times a month and was disappointed with the lack of turf around the greens and some bad areas in the fairways. It makes no sense because we have been getting plenty of rain this year

The staff here is really good. The course is a little difficult because of the drought this year but it should bounce back and be just as good as ever. If you like hiily with some large greens and a fun layout give it a try.

The course was in ok shape, but the fairways were overcut and nothing stayed even close to where you hit it.

Greens were in good shape, few scalped or fungi places on a few.

Played the Crispin Course as part of a package.

Stayed in one of the Resort's cottages. Played the Jones course one day, Crispin the next.

Crispin course was in horrible condition. Worse than any muni course I have ever seen.

5+ hours to play what was basically a dirt lot.

Will never go back.

They had just aerated the fairways and the plugs had not been collected. The course should have been closed. I’d like my money back.

We were not informed that the fairways were being aerated. The plugs were still on the ground making the course almost unplayable. Our money should be returned.

I grew up on this course. U knew it had no water except at the greens. But, It was almost unplayable as we had to place our ball on every shot. The greens were damaged. It should have been closed until the work was done. We drove 2 hours for this very poor experience. I would hope by Spring the course will be healed. Really, I’d like my money back.

Used to travel an hour 2-3 times a year to play this course. Used to be the best value in golf by the Pittsburgh area. You used to really be able to tell, despite being the cheaper of the 3 Oglebay courses, you could tell the same level of care and attention to detail was put into it. Unfortunately this year not the case. Waited 5 plus minutes for the starter, so I took a cart, loaded it and came right back to the club house. When I arrived back the starter was smoking a cigarette while scolding me for taking a cart and not signing it out. When we did play the course I could not believe how far this place has fallen. Point blank not worth any amount of money you pay. The fairways were 90% dirt and dry as a rock. Paired with this being a hilly West Virginia course, it was a recipe for balls landing in the middle of the fairway, to eventually bounce into the woods. The greens had actual craters in them. For as up tight the staff was, you’d expect the course to be well maintained. You’d have more fun playing 18 of your neighbors backyards then you will playing here.

I live in the area and have golfed on this course for years, first time this year and it’s the worst I’ve ever seen this course!!!

We had waited till after 3pm to get the reduced rates however, even at the reduced rates, we walked off after nine holes because we couldn’t see ourselves playing the back nine if it was in as bad as shape as the front nine was.

I would not recommend this course to anyone and I’m severely disappointed
