Nice course
Cool course, not very difficult. Lots of short par 5s. Pace of play was rough. Round took 5.5 hours. At home we can be done in 3. Nothing wrong with playing bad, but atleast play bad fast.
Bunkers
Most if not all of the bunkers need sand in them and not river sand. We could not hit out of them due to hitting the ground and scolding the ball because there was no sand hardly in the bunker. Luckily I wasn’t in many of them but you can see that it’s like hitting out of clay. If they would only fill the traps with good sand it might be worth the price but it isn’t worth what they are charging right now.
Excellent Course
Everyone told me that this course is their favorite in the Ohio Valley. After playing it, I understand why. It is in pristine condition. Despite the hilly terrain, the fairways are relatively flat, with infrequent minimal sidehill lies. Coming from flatland Florida, it was fun teeing off from elevated tees. The greens had nice contours ajd were smooth. I'll definitely play here again on my next visit to the upper Ohio Valley.
Beautiful
This course was excellent. Very enjoyable round of golf. the starter was friendly and knew the layout of the course by heart and went over the terrain with us before we headed out. Driving range available and accessible to both the Jones and Palmer courses. Fairways were like carpet and the greens were immaculate.
2026 looking good at Spidel...
Coarse is in great shape. Greens rolling smooth and quick in April is good to see.
good bones
Palmer course has good bones and was enjoyable to play despite the cold and breezy conditions. nice layout/design and we will play again. recommended.
Oglevy Arnold Palmer course
Great experience stunning course
One of best courses around
Fairways and greens were so consistent and beautiful. Big open fairways.
Great course and conditions
Beautiful layout with great elevation changes. The greens and fairways were in great shape given the recent drought conditions in the Wheeling area. The greens rolled true and checked up great. The blue tees are really challenging. The pace of play was really slow (5:20 to play 18) due to the course being fully booked on the day I played. Expect a long round but you’ll be able to enjoy it and the beautiful scenery that it offers. The staff was excellent and the drinks and food are really reasonable. Definitely put this on your list of courses to play.
Poor quality for the price
This course is living in the past. They will not improve the course and think that we will come just because of their name. Staff on the course are friendly. Pro and staff inside are pompous jerks. Course needs a lot of work. We came down with 12 golfers and they double booked tee times? We wont be back. BE CAREFUL!
Played on Easter Sunday
Cart Paths need improvement bunkers are ok nobody rakes them might as well make them grass awesome layout super fun place
Playing on Easter
Cart path need help bunkers overall it’s a decent corse better signage and cheaper rates its becoming way to expensive
Amazing...
Amazing condition after last summers drought and a extremely cold winter. 5 stars.
