Palmer Golf Course - Speidel (at Oglebay Resort)

Pace of play here is horrible. 5 hours. No on course marshals. Stay away!

Lucky to get a warm day in December in West Virginia. Great to get a tee time on an outstanding golf course “Hit Deal”.

Really enjoyed the round

I have been wanting to play this course for years. Well worth the wait. Excellent fairways, greens, and tee boxes. Very well maintained. Sprinkler and 200, 150, and 100 yard markers. Staff very nice. Good food and beer options. I will come back to shoot better since I now know a little about the course. Very minor complaints. For the regular rates they charge a GPS system should be on the cart. If no GPS then the score card of tee markers should have some sort of distance to bunkers, doglegs, ponds, etc. I lost several shots because I did not have the correct game plan on each hole. The other issue is many blind shots to the greens. This is the standard in Western PA/WVU but seeing the pin makes a big difference . Other than that great course and I have played over 100

This course is in phenomenal shape. The layout is amazing and there are so many holes that stand out. Pace of play was just a little longer than I am used to but didn't hinder my experience. The 10 dollar golfnow deal honestly feels like robbery. This course is amazing and will play over and over again.

I really enjoyed my experience at speidel Palmer course. It was very wet but the greens were perfect . Bring a rangefinder because the distances aren't well marked and the greens are huge!

The course was in good shape and the staff was very nice.

The course got rid of the cart GPS systems they used to have last year and we were not aware of that prior to going. Luckily one in the group did bring their GPS.

Gotta love golf now prices and choices of courses thanks golf now

A quality golf course. Unfortunately, extremely slow play and no course management. We quit after 12 holes of molasses pace and rode in on the cart path - only to see holes 13-18 unoccupied. Two foursomes completely clogged the course.

The course ranger was remarkably dense about the pace and was beyond rude if not completely confrontational when we pointed out the slow play.

Will not return.

Went with my 3 year old son to play Palmer. The course was packed so I asked about playing The Jones course instead. It was wide open and we had a great day

Always in great shape. Played here many times never gets old. All around always a good time.

Love every Palmer course I've ever played, this one is no exception. Play there once or twice a year. Pace of play on that Saturday afternoon however became unbearable for me.

The weather was great, the course was great, and so was the service.

This might be the best shape the course has been in all year. Very few golfers playing on a beautiful day so I had plenty of time to hit an extra shot or putt. Greens were rolling very true. An excellent day of golf

Not up to their standards is my guess. Heat has impacted current conditions at Oglebay. Even at sub par conditions, still one of my favorite tracks! Have played here several times this year.

the staff was extremely friendly and helpful

Very nice course off the beaten path. Interesting design with lots of elevation changes. We were too timid to try and walk, and I was glad we took a cart. Greens have a lot of subtle and not so subtle slopes, but they rolled well. Some rough spots in several fairways that were marked ground under repair, and a few tees that needed some work. I believe both nines had 3 par fives and 3 par threes, so a bit different from that standpoint. Good mix of short and long holes. We had a great time and felt it was an exceptional value

I love this course and I try to play it as often as possible during the golf season. We happened to catch it a couple of weeks after they aerated the greens. I was disappointed that there wasn't clear indication on the GolfNow website alerting me to this fact so I would be able to make an informed decision to play or wait a few more weeks. I did call the course and they provided me an accurate description of the state of the healing process. We still decided to play knowing it was not going to meet it's usual standard of play we have become accustom to experiencing on the Palmer course. We were blind sided by the saturated fairways. The people at the pro shop never mentioned it.They must have had some heavy rain throughout the week. We just played lift clean and place. The price made the aerated greens and the saturated fairways bearable! Very nice layout, vistas and wildlife!
