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. It is an outdoor playground for all ages thanks to Deep Creek Lake and an endless array of mountainous adventures: canopy tours, segways, mountain biking, a mountain coaster, disc golf, 36 holes of regular golf, gem mining, pontoon boat tours, whitewater rafting and flatwater kayaking. The Fantasy Valley and Lodestone golf courses both boast soaring scenery. Lodestone, designed by Hale Irwin, features some of the largest greens on the East Coast.

Not bad for $39.

Greens were smooth but not very fast. Fairways and tee boxes were average. Sand traps had nice sand but had some rocks and also had weeds growing around the edges and corners which looked terrible, little more care for this course and it could be a really nice course. Until that happens it's still just a good enough course. $39 twilight rate is fair.

Amazing course

Played this course for the first time and was not disappointed. So many great mountain views on a very well laid out track. Only a few major elevation changes but not enough to take away from the course. Beautiful day and enjoyed the drive in with the gorgeous homes on the lake. It was cart path only the day I played because of 3+ inches of rain within the last few days also attributing to a few of the bunkers being washed out but I have no doubt that would be taken care of within the next day or two so I look past it. The girl in the clubhouse was extremely friendly and helpful. 79 dollars is a little steep for any course in my opinion but this course made me feel a little better about paying that much as nice as it was and as much fun as I had, playing one of my best rounds of the year so far. Will play again.

Remake failure

Hadn't played this course for awhile and not since they changed the layout. Their are now 6 par 3's, some of which make no sense, since you drive by the old tee boxes and fairway to get to the new tee boxes in the middle of the old fairway. Tee boxes not in great shape, but could be because of all the rain and recent aeration. Course tough with some narrow fairways and water. Driving past over grown and unused holes, takes away from the natural beauty of the old course. Needs a lot of work.

Meh

course is overrated for cost and most of the hole layouts are not too thought out. clubhouse is a strange circus tent. starter was grumpy due to the fact that we were almost late for our tee times at no fault of our own. woman in tent had issues with cashing rain checks from previous year. not her fault either. front nine is slap together with some old hole tee boxes gone and new hole layouts mixed in. saw cart girl on hole 2, then never again. no snack available at turn due to fact that is 300 miles from circus tent and closed building near turn had no looks of a food drink place. probably a storage building. 10-12 are nice holes. other than that, won't be back. play thousand acres, Oakland, lodestone or even alpine lakes. more friendly, better golf course experience and at least can eat and drink something.

Good course with elevation changes

The only reason this course was marked 3 stars on conditions was for the previous four or five days it had rained and the fairways and greens were saturated. That being said the greens rolled very true and surprisingly quick with the amount of water they had been exposed to. I would have loved to play under normal conditions because the maximum amount of roll out on any drive was about 5 yards. The two bunkers I did play out of durning the round had great sand and were a fair test.

Fantastic views

Played it first time, but really enjoyed. View was just fantastic. The only sad part was the rainy weather for some part of the course. Also, the address on the web site is for the WISP resort and not for the golf course, although there are road signs for the Lodestone. Definetely will be back...

Fantastic course

This was our first time playing this course. It was in great condition, both fairways and Greens. You needed to place your drives well on several holes to avoid streams and traps. The greens were very challenging for us with many greens undulating quite a bit. They were in fabulous shape and rolled true, if you can read them. While our scores were up, our excitement was up as well. Challenging but very enjoyable.

Excellent mountain course

Absolutely majestic mountaintop setting. Course can be quite difficult from the tips, but playing the right box makes it very fair and enjoyable. A little pricey but worth every penny. Staff and the starter were outstanding.

Good deal

Excellent course. 2nd time playing and they changed a couple of holes for the better. Cart attendants (older locals) are always a treat.

Amazing!

Great deal on GolfNow but full price would be worth it. The views are fantastic. Conditions were great even after heavy rain the week before. The new driving range with free range balls was a great added bonus from last year.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Overall, compared to higher ranked Bulle Rock, Lodestone offers better views and conditions. It's nearly a hidden gem as many people don't make the trek out to play it, but if you are in the area or want to road trip, it's well worth it!

Nice course

I had played this course in the past but not since they had changed the 1st and 2nd holes. It is still a challenging course and has some gorgeous views. The greens were in pretty good shape and above average in speed. In general, this is a pretty tight course with trees lining most of the fairways making errant shots tough to recover from. Definitely worth playing, but make sure to play its sister course, Lodestone, you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely beautiful

A beautifully laid out course with excellent views from almost every tee. The fairways are pretty generous and the greens are huge, but don't let that fool you. The greens are severely undulating making it very difficult to get close if you are on the wrong level. Very nice driving range and overall and excellent experience.

Too pricey

$70 was way too steep for this course. The back 9 was very nice. The front 9 is kind of thrown together since the expansion of the ski slopes. $40 is more like it.

Beautiful

Big, burly mountaintop course with great conditions and a great layout. Doesn't get much play and it is costly-but worth the greens fee! I hope it does well because it is a pleasure to play.

Mountain of Fun

Fantastic golf course located high above the lake. Great views, Very large rolling greens. Ball position a must on every shot to the flag. Wide fairways with a few traps and rock formations to watch out for. Nice soft playable sand. Very friendly staff. The course had just received a lot of rain. The course drained well but still cart path only on this round. The greens were in excellent shape. Nice to see golfers fixing their ball marks. I would highly recommend this golf course to all.
