About Wisp Resort

The Wisp Resort’s 172 acres of ski terrain are heaven for winter-sports enthusiasts, but this resort offers so much more year-round.

I played the course 20 years ago as it was originally designed and it was in good condition and challenging but worth playing. It is a true tragedy what they have done to this course with adding new holes but taking away the best ones and turning it into a strange layout with three par fives and three par threes on the front nine and a part 34 on the back nine. The first nine does not return to the clubhouse tent. There’s no water on the course to drink no card girl or bathrooms. The sand traps were in horrible condition and look like they had never been attended to. The only good thing was the pace of play since there were no other people playing the course.

The only thing keeping this course from being a 5 star is the sand traps

Get layout, Friendly staff, tough but fair course with good greens!

Could be an Excellent course

If they would ever rework the sand traps and put sand in them. The course would be 1st class. It definitely would out class Rocky Gap.

Depends what matters

While pulling into the parking lot there was a small black bear knocking over the garbage can which was comical. The wildlife throughout the course is great and The views are spectacular.

The fairways and greens look good but they are wet and slow. The tee boxes are spongy with longer fairway like grass.

For $120/player I’d expect to have gps in carts or at least usb charger. A lot of bunkers in bad condition especially fairway bunkers which they let go growing grass and rocks throughout.

Lodestone

Great course, but bathrooms need to be unlocked. Ok for me. I can find bush but not wife.

Fabulous day

ESPECIALLY with hot deal

Big course

Couldn’t hit a putt hard enough, but greens consistent ( lots recent rain)

Would play again

Midway bathroom locked, otherwise a perfect day

Great weather golf day

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I love the layout they have some really scenic holes. I usually play this course once a year. Always the same time of year however the conditions weren't all that great. The tee boxes needed to be cut and the fairways as well. Plus none of the sand traps had any sand, just hard packed mud. Perhaps a few of them were washed out. A little too pricey for a resort course in my opinion. However my son and I still had a great time making memories. We made this a tradition so I'm sure we'll play it next year.

Nice, but Aerated Greens

Have played Lodestone numerous times in the last couple of years. Course conditions were better than before even after a few days of rain but the recently aerated greens were slow, bumpy and three putts were the norm for everyone in our foursome. I wish we would have been warned by either the course or by GolfNow in an "Aeration Alert".
