Not good

Course was in miserable shape overall. Fairway and tees were really in bad shape. General maintenance was poor.

Greens were 8.5 / 10

Pro shop staff were cold and rude. Beverage cart was friendly and nice.

Tee Boxes / No range balls

For a resort course, they certainly need to work on their tee boxes, having to search for a place to tee up with grass under your ball & feet at the same time, shouldn’t be a challenge. Also we have NO range balls to use before our round

Return to glory...

Coarse had a ton of work out into it to recover from last summers record drought. It was a pleasure to see how quickly it's come back and what the coarse will play like this summer.

Good Course, bad conditions

Staff was friendly when we got there, but there were only a few drinks to choose from and no sort of snacks you could buy. Cart was nice and had a screen for yardage. Fairways weren’t terrible, but was informed that the irrigation system didn’t work properly last year so there were some bad spots. Greens were slower than I thought they would be, and had bad spots scattered around. Cart return guy seemed to be hostile for some reason. They have a new superintendent, so i hope to see this course improve.

Beautiful course, poor maintenance

The golf course was beautifully designed by Arnold Palmer. Great layout. Pictures holes, spectacular views. Friendly staff. Conditions of the course did not meet my expectations. Majority of the tees didn’t have any grass. Tees were combined so I have no idea if I played from blue, black or white tees.

In need of some rehab

Greens were in pristine shape after three days of rain and weren’t punched like many places in the state, but drought conditions this summer in West Virginia have left the fairways and tee boxes in awful shape. Worth it at the GolfNow hot deal rate, but don’t pay more than 60$. Fairways are either large patches of dirt or overgrown and unmowed.

Disappointing

Have played this course for over 20 years on yearly vacation trips to the lake and this is by far the worst condition I’ve ever seen the course. Many tee boxes and even fairways are more dirt than green. Don’t be fooled by the holes you can see from the road. Still charging a premium price for substandard conditions.

Wet weather
Used cart

Palmer under maintanence

Overall I would say this is a fun course. The staff were all very kind and helpful, even the starter helped plan my first tee shot as I had never played there before. There were a lot of spots where the course conditions were terrible, due to irrigation issues compounded by an unusually dry summer and then rain the week before. This caused the extremely dry patched to become muddy. One odd thing... The "turn" isn't really a turn at all because the green for 9 and the tee box for 10 are NO where near the clubhouse. Plan on bringing extra water or drinks. That being said, they did have a drink cart driving around. All in all though it was definitely worth the price.

Wonderful layout, spectacular staff

Amazing layout. Plenty of room and lots of interesting holes. Bring a few extra balls, there are some areas where you won’t even bother looking for that slice :-) Everyone in the Stonewall Jackson Resort area was exceptional during our stay there but the manager at the course - Jacob - went above and beyond. I play a lot of golf but this was my first round in West Virginia and Jacob made me feel like an old friend. I would recommend this course as much for it’s layout as it’s staff. It’s six hours from my home, but I will be back :-)

Poor course conditions

This course is well laid out and has some scenic holes along the lake. The course conditions are not very good right now though. I’ve played this course multiple times and I am usually very happy with it. This time multiple fairways and most of the greens were burnt. It made approach shots into the greens difficult and putting almost impossible. They should definitely not be charging normal rates to play right now.
