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.

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?

Hot….

For $51 dollars well worth the play. Greens in great shape just a little slow which I expect. Only problem….bring bug spray. Gnats are everywhere. Bought bug spray at the turn back nine was much better.

Course plays long especially after number six. Felt like the full 6700 and then some from the back. I’m a 3 handicap and shot 77

Fun course, but wasn’t well maintained

I grew up playing this course and it is fun course to play but it wasn’t in good shape due to maintenance issues. The grass wasn’t well kept and the greens were spotty. I got it for $22 ish so I’m not overly disappointed, but if I would had to pay what the course charges I would’ve been disappointed.
