Oglebay

Course was bone dry. The greens get a bit of water, but the tee boxes and fairways do not.

The brown 45 degree fairways pair nice with the malnourished deer with various diseases, greens with muddy tire marks, and the dead trees everywhere. My kit-Kat was $5. If your ball lands on the fairway, you will end up somewhere in the gunch with your ball covered in geese and bear poop being sucked on by one of the work staff. I saw a guy watering a tree for 10 minutes which was the only alive tree on the whole course, I think it was the Lorax.

Greens weren’t bad, t boxes were watered but not in good condition, fairways getting no water at all and due to the slopes of them it’s impossible to keep your ball from rolling into the woods even on a great drive. I will not be playing there again until it receives several inches of rain.

Greens were decent, fairways need rain or watered, however my biggest complaint is that number 4 and 6 fairways were under construction this spring and they did a terrible job of leveling and seeding, visable rocks are surfacing and they just seeded over bulldozer tracks.

6th straight day with Temps in 90’s made it understandable that green speeds were slower than I usually recall. Slow pace of play was an issue but worst was my wife and I were hit into from behind on 3 out of 5 holes between #9 thru #13. Result was a slight ultra cation with the individual who wasn’t to happy that I hit his ball into the woods on #13 after it bounced up beside me 20 yards short of the green. Otherwise, love the course and can’t blame the course for an inconsiderate knucklehead.

Always enjoy this course. Understand with temps in the 90’s for the 5th straight day, green speeds were slower than I normally recall. Pace of play was very slow but that was due to a group of 16 going off directly in front of our twosome.

The course was not in the best of shape. I’ve seen it pristine many times before. The layout is good and the holes are fair. Stay in the fairway and you can score. The pace of play is always slow. Don’t plan on playing this course in less than four hours. If you do get done in four hours consider yourself lucky cause it usually takes closer to five hours on a normal day.

The course was not in the greatest shape. I’ve seen it way better. Usually it’s top notch. The pace of play is always very slow. It will take you at least 4 hours minimum and maybe 5 if it’s busy.

Thought it would rain and would be too wet, but the course was good and no 90-degree rule needed. Course has a lot of uneven fairways, with a lot of shots above or below your feet. But when you are playing the West Virginia hills that can be part of the appeal. Greens are well maintained despite the area construction on the Oglebay Resort and impacts on the course. Look out, the greens are fast! Great value and I look forward to my next round! Special note to Course Marshall Ray for his kindness and guidance as a first-time player on his course!
