About Pipestem Resort State Park

The Pipestem Resort State Park sits on the east rim of the Bluestone River Gorge, offering exciting outdoor fun from zipline tours, fishing trips, mountain biking and rock climbing to golf, kayaking, hiking and whitewater rafting. The 4,050-acre park features 26 cabins, camp sites and two lodges, one of which can only be accessed by riding the park's aerial tramway to the bottom of the gorge. Geoffrey Cornish designed the regulation 18 and the nine-hole par 3. Children will love the Splash Park and Adventure Lake and the Aerial Adventures ropes course in summer.

Nice course

If the State of WV put the money in this course that it deserves they would actually have a top notch championship course. As is, they do the best they can with what they have to work with. That being said, the layout is excellent and the greens are rolling really well and in good shape. The fairways are mostly good but could improve, especially on the back 9. A big improvement from last year! The course is long enough to be challenging but not overwhelming, just don't play from the back tees if you are a 25 handicap!

Great Experience all around

Played on a Thursday,10:52 tee time. Pace of play was exactly as we like it. Steady,but not rushed. Never had to wait on a tee box. What a beautiful course!! And it’s not accidental. They were working all over the course, very respectfully waiting on golfers and not interfering with pace of play. Everyone from the pro shop,to the maintenance guys were extremely friendly and accommodating. The greens had been aerated a week before we played,(they warned us ahead of time) but we were still able to putt on them with no trouble,they have really worked on them to keep them playable. I will definitely be back it was a great experience all around

Nice course

The greens were just aerated, and I was able to play 18 holes for $25. Well worth the cost, this is a nice course with a range and putting area.

Bad Shape and Rude Staff

The course greens were in bad shape for the cost of playing, particularly at a State Park. The fairways were in decent condition but still not up to par with other area courses where the cost is comparable. Lastly, the young man working the desk in pro shop was rude about our time completing the round and ultimately prevented us from completing the last hole. It was not dark, and we were allowed to book a tee time for 18 holes. More importantly, we were never cautioned about our time or given any warning before this young man drove a utility vehicle down the cart path toward our group like he was a police officer responding to a crime and just wasn’t very nice about it.

Worse shape of any course I have ever played

I must say, I grew up playing this course, moved away and was in area for first time in 20 years. The course used to be one of the best State Parks courses in country. But my, how time has changed. Greens were horrible, looks like they were over watered and then burnt to about 65% playable. Fairways were green, but crabgrass looks great from a distance. Rough was mostly clover and I lost 4 balls that were hit down middle and hard pack fairways took them to over patches and not worth spending 15 minutes to find a ball. Sure State provides no funding but needs closed.

Very Enjoyable Round

The pro shop staff is exceptional, the grounds keeping team is very friendly and a pleasure to talk to. We started early on a Monday in the rain. The rain kept the grounds crew off the course until it eased up. Once they hit the course in full stride, they had it fully recovered from the weekend's play. The course is a mix of wide open fairways, blind dog legs, and beautiful views of the Bluestone Gorge. We most definitely will be back for more rounds!

Didn’t play

There was a tournament going on that I didn’t know about, and it started thunderstorming as I was waiting for a cart to become free, so we didn’t get to play. I would like to either get a refund, or be able to reschedule our tee time. Pipe stem golf course employee said I would have to do this through GolfNow. Can you help me reschedule?
