Oglebay

A fun and challenging course, however a lot of target holes, where laying up is a must.

The staff here is really good. The course is a little difficult because of the drought this year but it should bounce back and be just as good as ever. If you like hiily with some large greens and a fun layout give it a try.

The course was in ok shape, but the fairways were overcut and nothing stayed even close to where you hit it.

Greens were in good shape, few scalped or fungi places on a few.

Course was very well maintained and loved the hillside fairways. I played on a Monday and no ranger that day. Foursome infront of us added an extra 90 mins to our 18 holes. For a course of this caliber, it should have a ranger everyday.

Played this on a Friday morning in September as part of a package at the Oglebay Resort.

Took close to 6 hours to play the Jones course which I had played previously.

The layout and conditions were just okay, but they jam too many players out there and made no attempt to speed up play.

Between the 6 hours here and the beyond horrific condition of the Crispin Course which we played the following day, it was not a good experience

My group of 8 guys will never be back and will tell people to avoid the place.

Played the Crispin Course as part of a package.

Stayed in one of the Resort's cottages. Played the Jones course one day, Crispin the next.

Crispin course was in horrible condition. Worse than any muni course I have ever seen.

5+ hours to play what was basically a dirt lot.

Will never go back.

They had just aerated the fairways and the plugs had not been collected. The course should have been closed. I’d like my money back.

We were not informed that the fairways were being aerated. The plugs were still on the ground making the course almost unplayable. Our money should be returned.

I grew up on this course. U knew it had no water except at the greens. But, It was almost unplayable as we had to place our ball on every shot. The greens were damaged. It should have been closed until the work was done. We drove 2 hours for this very poor experience. I would hope by Spring the course will be healed. Really, I’d like my money back.

Used to travel an hour 2-3 times a year to play this course. Used to be the best value in golf by the Pittsburgh area. You used to really be able to tell, despite being the cheaper of the 3 Oglebay courses, you could tell the same level of care and attention to detail was put into it. Unfortunately this year not the case. Waited 5 plus minutes for the starter, so I took a cart, loaded it and came right back to the club house. When I arrived back the starter was smoking a cigarette while scolding me for taking a cart and not signing it out. When we did play the course I could not believe how far this place has fallen. Point blank not worth any amount of money you pay. The fairways were 90% dirt and dry as a rock. Paired with this being a hilly West Virginia course, it was a recipe for balls landing in the middle of the fairway, to eventually bounce into the woods. The greens had actual craters in them. For as up tight the staff was, you’d expect the course to be well maintained. You’d have more fun playing 18 of your neighbors backyards then you will playing here.

Beautiful course! Love the layout I just would have appreciated it if they would have let me know that the greens were aerated and sanded. I could have waited a couple more weeks. Really disappointed about the greens.

I live in the area and have golfed on this course for years, first time this year and it’s the worst I’ve ever seen this course!!!

We had waited till after 3pm to get the reduced rates however, even at the reduced rates, we walked off after nine holes because we couldn’t see ourselves playing the back nine if it was in as bad as shape as the front nine was.

I would not recommend this course to anyone and I’m severely disappointed

Haven't played this course since last summer, waited for tee times after 3pm to get reduced pricing, could not believe the poor conditions of the fairways and greens. very disappointed! very thankful that I waited for reduced price, we walked off after nine holes, didn't care to finish with such bad fairways and greens, I won't be spending any more of my hard earned money there.

Booking tee times are always so easy! Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Always willing to answer questions and help out.

The course could use some upkeep and upgrades but overall we had a great time.

Will be back
