Low cost
The course isn't in the best shape, but for the money, it ain't bad. Some of the tees have little grass and you almost need a hammer to set your tee. It would also be nice if they did something to keep some of those range balls off the course. Something as simple as a net would work quite well.
Need some attention
Looks like management doesn't spend much on the upkeep of the course. Range was closed when we arrived mid morning. (no balls) Not much difference in the fairways from the roughs, hard and as a rock. don't think they have watered the golf course at all ( lots of water on the course just not using it to water the greens or fairways) . It is a pretty course but, it a shame that the management doesn't care to make repairs or spend the money to keep it up. used to be top notch. Wish for the amount we paid to play that it would have been in much much better condition
Pace of play
The tee box hasn't been mowed in quite some time. The fairways were okay, and the greens were fine. My most significant issues were the pace of play and the unfriendly staff. I don't usually write reviews, but this has been the exact case the last three times I've been. Unfortunately, I'd like to go to an affordable public course. Please get a marshall or two to spread out your tee times or encourage a better place of play. And to the older gentleman running the check-in, it would be nice if you were at least somewhat pleasant. I don't owe you anything, so please stop acting like it.
Coming back!
The golf course was hit hard this summer with the draught but with steady work by the maintenance team we survived. The course recently did a complete over seeding from Tee to Green and results are showing. With the addition of a new greens mower the greens are smooth and fast.
Save your money
We played there Monday yes I know it was a holiday they were busy but that is still no excuse for the pace of play there was 2 of us we tee off at 945 at 3 o'clock we still haven't tee off on the 18th hole yet 5 hours and 15 minutes to play 17 holes is ridiculous the greens had a blight in over half of of them so it was almost impossible to putt we played Sunday in New Market there was 3 of us and it only took 3.5 hours if you like hitting the ball and waiting 20 minutes to get to hit it again then this is the place for you I've played there a couple of times before and I don't remember it being that bad we road an hour to get there so it was an all day event it will probably be a while before we go back
BAD-BAD-BAD
This has to be the worst golf course in west virginia. You name it. It wasn't good greens, fairways, rough? Duck doo doo. Pace of play was terrible. I was in a group of 3 start it at 10:20 finished at 3:20 entirely too long.
The course is in poor condition. The fairways have little grass on the majority of holes. Limiting golf carts to the paths is a huge negative too. If it were in better condition, it would be a lot of fun to play.
Worst conditions I've ever played in
I've played it this course many times and I typically enjoy it. It's not very picturesque but it's attractive enough. It's not all that interesting, but it has its challenges. It's just kind of a steady Eddy course and it's not typically too expensive. If I had known what crap conditioner it was in this season, I wouldn't have wasted my time going out there. Just not even worth playing. Maybe it's the heat. Maybe they can't find people to take care of the facility. I don't know, but when you can't even tell the fairway from the rough and the greens look like a burlap sack half the time, but it just is n't worth playing.
Really enjoyed this course
I really enjoyed playing this course. Had a great day. Course was in good shape given the drought we have had.
Solid value but tee boxes are in bad shape
All of the tee boxes are very uneven and not in great shape. Other than that they are very friendly and it is a fair course to play. I don’t think I would pay any more than $40 for a round here. Solid value.
Side note: Whoever the greenskeeper is and put the hole location on a major slope on hole 8 should be fired. Makes me never want to come back because I had an eagle putt that literally rolled right back to me. Greens were so hard that the ball couldn’t stop on that slope. Might want to use the sprinkler system a little more.
Too slow
Pace of play was extremely slow. Reserved for 18 holes and only played 9 because it took 31/5 hrs to play 9. Could be coincidence but i dont want to find out if it was the norm.
Great layout but back 9 can be tricky, get a look at the course and distance of play with a local
Good Conditions
Weather has been extremely hot. Fairways and greens are firm but not burned out. Tee boxes and greens have been improving over the past couple years. Still some geese issues (i.e. poop).
I hate forced carries
On a par 3 not so much...but 150-160 or so approach shots from the rough that are asking to bring the ball in high to hold narrow greens is a little demanding for amateurs. I lost two balls but kept it under 90. Other than the forced carries its a course where you are not hitting blind, so, I liked all but a couple of the holes near the end.
What used to be nice
This used to be a well kept course, haven't played here in 12+ years. Apparently new management not concerned about keeping maintenance up to par.
Greens are not kept up and divots splattered the entire surfaces. What a shame. Didn't see a marshall on the course the entire time. If your gonna charge these prices then one would expect a better groomed playing field, cart paths are in dire need of repair as well.
A good beginner course if you can keep it within the houses.
