A crying shame
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.
Greens
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.
Disappointing conditions
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
Disbelief
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.
The staff is great!
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
Very Crispy!
Course was bone dry. The greens get a bit of water, but the tee boxes and fairways do not.
Golfers Nightmare
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.
Course fairways are dried up
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.
