Disbelief
Haven't played this course since last summer, waited for tee times after 3pm to get reduced pricing, could not believe the poor conditions of the fairways and greens. very disappointed! very thankful that I waited for reduced price, we walked off after nine holes, didn't care to finish with such bad fairways and greens, I won't be spending any more of my hard earned money there.
The staff is great!
Booking tee times are always so easy! Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Always willing to answer questions and help out.
The course could use some upkeep and upgrades but overall we had a great time.
Will be back
Golfers Nightmare
The brown 45 degree fairways pair nice with the malnourished deer with various diseases, greens with muddy tire marks, and the dead trees everywhere. My kit-Kat was $5. If your ball lands on the fairway, you will end up somewhere in the gunch with your ball covered in geese and bear poop being sucked on by one of the work staff. I saw a guy watering a tree for 10 minutes which was the only alive tree on the whole course, I think it was the Lorax.
Course fairways are dried up
Greens weren’t bad, t boxes were watered but not in good condition, fairways getting no water at all and due to the slopes of them it’s impossible to keep your ball from rolling into the woods even on a great drive. I will not be playing there again until it receives several inches of rain.
Dry fairways
Greens were decent, fairways need rain or watered, however my biggest complaint is that number 4 and 6 fairways were under construction this spring and they did a terrible job of leveling and seeding, visable rocks are surfacing and they just seeded over bulldozer tracks.
Crispin Played Today
Thought it would rain and would be too wet, but the course was good and no 90-degree rule needed. Course has a lot of uneven fairways, with a lot of shots above or below your feet. But when you are playing the West Virginia hills that can be part of the appeal. Greens are well maintained despite the area construction on the Oglebay Resort and impacts on the course. Look out, the greens are fast! Great value and I look forward to my next round! Special note to Course Marshall Ray for his kindness and guidance as a first-time player on his course!
Crispin construction
The coarse isn’t playing normal due to excavation work happening. 2 of the holes moved up T boxes and the sound of bulldozers can be heard constantly on most holes
Tee boxes and greens
I play here frequently and I love the course. However, the tee boxes were in poor shape, needing moved, and the divots needed filled with sand, While that's not all on maintenance staff (golfers take some pride) moving the boxes around a little more would help. The greens also had a lot of unrepaired pitch marks. Cmon folks, fix your ball marks, I like playing here because of how well it is usually kept.
