Always enjoyable!

This course is not overly hard as long as you keep your ball in play. However, if you put your ball in the wrong place the course has a way of punishing you more than what you might have expected.

Not recommended

I purchased 4 tee times through Golf Now for a price of 33$ a player..18 w/cart. I arrive and show women at clubhouse and she states there is an additional tax applied for WV tax and she states there is a historic tax fee applied as well? If you get a rate applied through Golf Now I believe they should honor the rate awarded.

Disappointing

Have played Palmer multiple times over the years and usually enjoy it. However today was not the case. None of the bunkers were raked and # of greens not rolled. Almost felt like the resort cannot operate the course any longer. The half way house was open at one point but then closed mid day as we were on the back 9. In addition there was no beverage cart at all on a beautiful Friday afternoon. For $80+ Fee not worth it at this point. Ogelbay needs to decide if they can operate a quality course as they are not keeping a course designed by Arnold Palmer to the standard it should be. Very disappointing.

Beautiful Course but slow greens

Beautiful course and amazing value on GolfNow. Greens were true but very slow. We both left putts short that we would normally make.

Lot of side hill lies and hilly so not best for walking. At same time it is a WV course. Course is fair, some tough holes that will sneak up if you hit in wrong place, it definitely will force you to improve your game.

At same time it’s good to bring kids to because it’s open enough to allow for bad shots and be able to recover from them.

Not a flat hole on this course

This is a very hilly track with some tricky undulating greens. I wouldn't say that it's worth paying full rack rate but, if you get a "hot deal" rate then you should definitely play it.

The outside staff was extremely friendly, however, the woman inside was not.
