The Resort at Glade Springs

First and foremost, this is the Dr Seuss of golf courses. It will have you shaking your head more times than not and you’ll likely need a tour guide the first time you play it. But with that being said, I freaking love it here! The course is always in amazing shape from the greens to the tee boxes, and the fairways are plush enough to make you feel guilty for every divot you take. The first 2 holes are just easy enough to tease you into thinking that you’re going to have a laid back, casual round and then hole 3 brings you back to reality just in time for hole 4 to leave your scratching your head as soon as you step on the tee box. And it doesn’t stop there. There are plenty of notable holes you’ll want to grab a picture of just because you can’t put them into words and do them justice. Holes 8 and 18 will be the true tests to see if you snap a club or two. I know all of this seems overwhelming and not like a fun round but I promise you it’s an absolute blast to experience. Grab some buddies or get paired up with some locals and just enjoy everything Woodhaven has to offer. The clubhouse staff is always awesome and Matt F. is always a great host for the round. It may not be for the faint hearted or new beginners, but I guarantee it will be memorable and you’ll want to bring others just for the experience!

We enjoyed our round. We played there in 2021. It was fun to know where to hit it! We will be back !!

The course is very challenging & not a place for beginners to play., The changes in elevation were amazing. This is not a course you can walk. Golf cart only.. There were many blind tee shots so you need to play the course with someone who knows the layout. The greens were a bit firm so you could not go for pins. I look forward to playing the course again. I got a great rate for the round on the Golf Now web site.

Rained 7 out of 9 holes then let up and quit on 11 but the course played well even soaked. Would like to play again.

Been a very wet summer but the greens rolled very well and the fairways drained. The course played longer than the 6500 yards listed due to soft well kept fairways.

Very beautiful course in very good condition! The views and course layout is excellent as well. But for $100 plus for a round of golf, I was disappointed to find out when I got there, due to a falling out between ownerships of the golf course and the resort, there is not a clubhouse. Additionally, the course could not sell anything so we played 18 holes in the heat with one bottle of water which they did provide before we started. During the round the course of play was not supervised or managed very well. First nine holes was played in 2 hours but waited on every shot coming in and the final 9 holes took over 3 hours 15 minutes to complete. In fairness, play was partially affected by cart path only rule due to the heavy rains the previous days. But over 3 hours for 9 holes is just too slow.

Would definitely play again if they get business issues solved, provide clear instructions to location of course, a clubhouse, place to get something to eat or drink, etc. Until then I wouldn’t recommend.

Course is very pretty nestled they mmmmm in the woods and mountains in the glade resort! Tough course more of a target course lots of blind shots will go back and try again after learning the course ! Lots of wildlife and stunning views !! I think it would be a great Par 3 course like Tree tops or Top of the Rock both course are featured on TV

Challenging course with great topography. We played Stonehaven as well, also excellent.

The course was ok but it is diffently like the lil step sister/brother of the 3 courses up there. Make sure you bring your own drinks and snacks if you need because they don't have any. The course itself was in ok shape considering the greens hadn't healed fully from being plugged. There are plenty of other better options for 20$ less a round 30 mins in any direction.

A lot of elevation changes force you to control every club in the bag. Most fairways are thick tree-lined but good shots often won’t find the trouble. All par 3s play significantly shorter. Head winds will be an issue in the valleys.

Solid 18 holes that require every shot in the bag. Drastic elevation changes with some swirling winds make the short approach shots even more of a challenge.

Good shots are rewarded. Greens rolled smooth. Only issue really isn’t course problem but there are changing winds that can be hard to account for.

I enjoy sound reviews that are relevant to the quality of the conditions on the golf course.

I’ll do my best.

Course-

Spectacular topography flows comfortably through 18 holes, there are no holes begging to fit within the design.

Green Complexes are stellar, very healthy, usually fast but November Golf means November green speed, shaggy tee boxes and fairways.

Understood going in, rating it in November, Solid 9/10.

I have never cared about staff, restaurant menu, pace of play, etc. Give the best available conditions whenever possible.

Great day. Course was quiet. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Went over scorecard and course tips before I started. Cart was new and spotless.

Course in great shape. Fairways excellent. Carpet like and greens extremely consistent.

Fall leaves and mountain layout makes for visually great round. Lots of elevation changes.

Course is hard. Lots of target landings not just distance. Lots of up and down but not over the top. Unless you are a very good golfer you will lose balls. If you play from Blues you will barely miss fairway and be punished. Whites are a bit more forgiving. Front is longer. Back is more about elevation and pretty Par 3s. Greens and approach shots are reasonable and rewarding.

Can’t wait to play here again. It’s hard and challenging but lots of fun. Again the blind shots and narrow fairways will eat up balls but it’s worth it.

May try to play again this week !

This is a great mountain layout with terrific scenery. Pick your tres wisely and enjoy the challenge

One of my favorite courses to date! Absolutely gorgeous and well maintained course!!! Very difficult as I played by myself and was my first time, the different elevations and tiers of the greens make it incredibly difficult! I absolutely love this course and plan to be back again this year!!! Highly recommended

Top notch mountain golf here at Woodhaven, 1 of 3 courses at the Glade Springs resort. Extreme topography with many blind approaches depending on location in fairway. In very good shape, doesn’t look like it gets much play. Every bit the 133 slope from the white tees. Love this stuff!!!
