Glade Springs Village - Woodhaven Course

Beautiful views. Great condition. Challenging layout.

Woodhaven Golf Course: (Note: a local said that this course is probably the 3rd most difficult in the state behind Pikewood National)

Just played a round at Woodhaven Golf Course in West Virginia, and let me tell you—it’s no walk in the park! From the Black tees (6,784 yards), this course boasts a slope rating of 142 with a course rating of 74.4, making it one of the tougher layouts around. It’s got that perfect mix of beauty and brutality, with its narrow fairways, towering trees, and plenty of areas where the rough can eat your ball if you're not careful. I gave away plenty.

I played from the White tees (a bit less daunting at around 6,200 yards) and ended up with a 100—not my best, but I definitely earned it! 😅 The course really tests your precision and shot placement, which I lack both of. Unlike other courses with similar ratings in my area, like River Landing's River Course and UNC Finley (if you're tackling it from the back tees), Woodhaven is a lot more penalizing Those thick, high grasses and densely wooded areas are waiting to take up any stray shots, turning even a slight miss into a penalty.

If you're up for a real challenge, this course will give you all the feels of a high-level test —but with the added twist of mountainous terrain and hazardous rough.

Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a tough round and a course that demands both strategy and skill. ⛳️ I was able to snag a GolfNow Hotdeal and use my discount to play it for $43. #Winning

Last year it burned up in the drought. There are 2 or 3 greens that have some rough patches but remain playable. The layout is awesome yet very challenging for most.

I was quite anxious to play this course,after having previously played the Cobb and Woodhaven courses. When we arrived at the course, the atmosphere was like a country club!! Very friendly staff,and asst. Golf pro. Treated us us like valued regulars,rather than first timers. We were told “cart path only” because of recent rain(and the fact that they have done extensive work on the property recently,it’s beautiful) for a 68yr. Old man with 3 stents,the cart paths are no where near the tee boxes or greens. Long downhill and uphill walks really take their toll. For a young man,it wouldn’t be so bad. Even with a cart,I was wore out after the front nine. Beautiful course,great staff,tough track

Lived up to reputation. If you want to challenge yourself, this is the course for you. Layout through the hills of WV. Ravines, heavy brush, fast sloping greens. Gotta hit mid fairway else risk watching your ball rest at bottom of hill.green approach best for high shots with backswing; strong forward rolls a penalize. Views are tremendous.

The greens have came back nicely all but two of them. They were well cared for.

The tee boxes are bald and almost impossible to keep balance. Almost like a fairway bunker.

Speaking of fairway. There is grass on a few holes. I feel I got robbed of my money and a 1.5 hour one way drive

The fairways, some teeboxes and greens were heavily damaged by weather or some other reason.

Well, we played this course for the first time yesterday. I wasn't impressed. The course is not in good shape but that's understandable considering the sparse rain for months, but what struck me the most is that they should have never built a golf course on this land. It's like the developer just said, "We need another golf course" and told the designer "This is the land it goes on, just do the best you can." It is totally inappropriate for a good track. I don't mind lots of elevation changes (My home course is Fountain Springs) but there are way too many blind shots and shots that require way more skill than the average golfer. I scored reasonably well for a septuagenarian (84) but I can't recommend this course for a golfer with limited skills. Kudos to the staff and facility, though. It's no reflection on them.

The staff are really getting the course back in shape. Gorgeous golf course

This place is a lot of fun with some great views. Overall really good conditions and greens were rolling great.

Course has a fantastic layout challenging for all levels of players. Course is in rough shape at the moment. Lots of burnout on fairways and tee boxes.

Rain will help them greatly but don’t know how fast it will recover.

Have played here before and loved it. We will return again when the conditions are better.

Fairways and greens were dead but it was fun to play

I played this course a few months ago and it was a wonderful experience. It was unique, challenging and in great shape. Yesterday I played and it is a completely different course. A third of the fairway grass is dead and some of the greens are in rough shape. 15 in particular is dirt with a small patch of long grass in the bottom of the "halfpipe". The worst course conditions i have played and not worth the money. Greens and fairways in much worse condition than any of the municipal courses in the area. Hopefully this course comes back to life in the fall because i really enjoyed the track when it was in better shape.
