TABLE OF CONTENTS / COURSE LISTINGS BY TRAVEL REGION

There are many reasons West Virginia is

called the outdoor recreation capital of the

East. Golf is one of them. This 2013 Golf

Directory is a resource to help you plan your

golfing adventure to the Mountain State. It’s

broken down into the nine travel regions,

listing the more than 100 courses in the state.

And we’ve given you an editorial snapshot of

some of the state’s top courses and resorts, as

well as some non-golfing activities to fill your

days and/or nights. More information is

available online at www.wvtourism.com/golf.

The Eastern Panhandle region located

between Maryland and Virginia is an

interesting mix of historical sites, therapeutic

spas, and thrilling, live thoroughbred racing.

History buffs will enjoy a visit to the

well-preserved Shepherdstown, the oldest

town in the state and Harpers Ferry National

Historic Park, the site of abolitionist John

Brown’s failed attack on slavery. It’s also

the national headquarters for the famed

Appalachian Trail. A number of mineral

springs provide healing waters in the eclectic

town of Berkeley Springs. And the region

boasts gaming excitement at Hollywood

Casino at Charles Town Races. The casino

offers year-round live thoroughbred racing,

more than 5,000 video slot machines and a

variety of tables games. And the golf offerings

in this northeastern part of the state are just

as varied and provocative.

The casual Woods Resort in Hedgesville

features two scenic 18-hole courses, a spa,

restaurant, and on-site condos. The

Mountain View course wanders around a

wooded plateau along Third Hill Mountain

which dominates its views. Carved from a

forest, Mountain View's fairways are framed

by dogwood, maple, oak, and pine trees.

Most holes play flat and fair, but several

water hazards and the medium-sized greens

prove challenging. The most difficult hole

is number 6, a 415-yard, par 4, requiring

an approach shot over a canyon to a

well-bunkered green. The Mountain View

course rates 4 stars from Golf Digest’s Places

to Play, an annual survey of subscribers,

considered one of the most reliable rating

sources in the industry. The Woods Resort’s

Stony Lick mid-length course is well

maintained and has medium-sized greens.

Water hazards also come into play to create

a challenge on several of its holes.

Minutes from the Woods Resort sits the

first of five state parks with golf courses,

Cacapon Resort State Park, home to a Robert

Trent Jones Sr. designed layout. At 2,300 feet

above sea level, set between two mountain

ranges, the challenging championship golf

course makes prime use of the rolling

foothills at the base of the ridge. There are

three ponds on the course which come into

play on four holes. The course has several

other water hazards in the form of small

streams coming from the mountain side.

The course is known for a double green that

is over 100 yards wide. Golf Digest has named

the course the number one municipal course

in West Virginia, as well as in the top ten

overall in the state. The course has a

4 star rating from Golf Digest’s Places to Play.

This state park resort offers a nostalgic

48-room lodge with restaurant, plus a

12-room group lodge known as The Old

Inn. It was the first lodging in the state

park system.

Also in the region is the mostly

undiscovered Locust Hill Golf Course

near Charles Town. This 18-hole scenic

layout continuously receives 4 stars from

Golf Digest’s Places to Play.

The Hatfield-McCoy Mountains Region

is located in the southwestern corner of

West Virginia along the Kentucky border. Its

mountainous topography has allowed golf

course architects to create challenging layouts.

It’s this same rolling terrain which has made

this region of West Virginia a mecca of sorts

for adrenaline junkies, as home to the well-

known Hatfield-McCoy Trails. This is not a

golf trail though, this is a system of trails for

all-terrain vehicles or ATVs. As one of the

largest off-highway vehicle trail systems in the

world, Hatfield-McCoy Trails stretch more

than 500 miles and offer something for

every skill level. Trails range from the scenic

mountain views of Pinnacle Creek, to the

tight and twisting trails of Bearwallow. Many

trails connect to West Virginia's “ATV friendly

towns” where visitors can grab a bite to eat

and experience true Southern hospitality.

The region was named for the famous post

Civil War decade-long feud between the

Hatfield and McCoy families. Labor battles

are also part of the mountainous region’s

history, with conflict between coal miners and

mining companies in the 1920s. With mines

located throughout, the importance of coal

from a lifestyle and historical perspective

permeates the region. In fact, the Coal

Heritage Museum is located in Madison and

a re-enactment of one of those labor disputes,

turned bloody battle, is held annually in the

small town of Matewan.

The nearby Twisted Gun Golf Club in

Wharncliffe is appropriately known as the

jewel of the coal fields. This links-style course

is placed on a former mine site in southern

Mingo county. With forgiving fairways and

smooth greens, the course has four sets of tees,

playing from 7,015 yards from the back

tees to only 5,155 yards from the forward

tees. Twisted Gun was recognized by

Hatfield-McCoy MountainsT R A V E L R E G I O N

GolfOnline.com as a "Top Fifty under Fifty"

in the country, ranking 17th of courses that

the public can play for under fifty dollars.

The small town of Lavalette is home to two

18-hole golf courses. Sugarwood Golf Club is

a championship layout. Its front nine has tree-

lined fairways and water coming into play

on three holes. A railroad track runs through

the middle of the course, but it seldom gets

used. The back nine has three lakes coming

into play. Its signature hole is number 13, a

171-yard, par 3, which requires an accurate

tee shot to an undulating, island green.

Twin Silos at Lavalette is a hilly course

featuring water hazards, mature trees, and

sand bunkers incorporated into its design.

Strategically placed ponds come into play on

at least eight holes. This well-maintained

course also boasts impeccable landscaping.

The signature hole is number 9, a 350-yard,

par 4, featuring a double green.

The Metro Valley Region of West Virginia

is home to the state’s two most populous

cities, Charleston, the state capital and

Huntington, home to Marshall University.

Both metropolitan areas offer a variety of

cultural activities and dining choices. The

golf courses in the region are traditionally

maintained and take advantage of the rolling

hills and waterways throughout.

A suburb of the capital city, South

Charleston is home to Little Creek Golf

Course. Established in 1921, it boasts a

challenging 6,096 yard layout, which winds

over and around beautiful mountains,

demanding a variety of shots and placing a

premium on accuracy off the tee.

The Kanawha County Park & Recreation

Commission operates two golf courses in the

Charleston area. Big Bend Golf Course is

an 18-hole championship golf course located

in Tornado. The county-owned course was

designed with every skill level in mind. The

fairways are tree-lined, and water comes into

play on three holes. Some of the greens are

large and have enough slope to test putting

skills. The Coal River flows alongside part of

the course and adds to the beautiful scenery.

Coonskin Park features the county’s

18-hole, par 3 golf course and driving range.

This executive course was built on flat terrain

among rolling hillsides. The course is open

in places and challenging in others as the

tree-lined fairways can be quite tight.

There are small, target greens on some holes

and mounding throughout. The Elk River

flows alongside the course on the back nine.

The most difficult hole is number 13, a 295-

yard, par 4, featuring a dogleg left fairway.

The region is also home to the Mardi Gras

Casino Resort, conveniently located off

Interstate 64 just west of Charleston, offering

live greyhound racing, table games and slots.

The Mid-Ohio Valley Region of the state

is bordered by Ohio, with the wide Ohio

River separating the two states. Rolling

hills and valleys define the Mid-Ohio

Valley Region, providing an abundance of

outdoor activities. These include boating,

fishing, mountain biking, birding, canoeing,

camping and, of course, golf.

A major metropolis for the region is

Parkersburg. The city's rich heritage, much

of it involving the early oil and gas industry,

is presented at several museums and historic

sites. Most notable among these is the

Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park,

home to a 7,000 square foot mansion built

in 1798. It’s preserved in its original glory

and open for tours, providing a snapshot of

what life was like for the wealthy barons in

the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Parkersburg is home to two publicly-

accessible courses. Worthington Golf Club

was built on relatively flat terrain, so it’s a

favorite among walkers. A creek, which

winds throughout the layout, provides a

challenge on several holes. The South Hills

Golf Club is a championship 18-hole design

with each hole offering its own unique

set of challenges. Measuring just under 6,500

yards from the back tees with spacious

landing areas strategically accented by

both fairway and green-side bunkers,

accurate shot-making is a must. Water

hazards are encountered on several of the

holes. A meandering stream flows through-

out most of the course.

Greenhills Country Club in Ravenswood

offers one of the areas more challenging

layouts. The 18-hole championship course

has a lengthy, yet wide open, front nine

and a hilly, shorter and tighter back nine.

The course boasts some of the best main-

tained greens in the state.

The 18-hole Golf Club of West Virginia

in Waverly features rolling fairways, well-

manicured greens and a player-friendly

layout. The course, which opened in 1959,

was constructed on hilly terrain but provides

generous landing areas in the fairways.

Water hazards, in the form of a large lake

and four small ponds, come into play on six

holes. The course was cut out of a forest so

many of the fairways are tree-lined. The

signature hole is number four, a 541-yard,

par 5, featuring a unique green that is

shaped like the state of West Virginia.

Tucked halfway between the two

panhandle regions is the Mountaineer

Country Region. Morgantown, home to

seven golf courses, is golf-central for the

region. It’s located just an hour south of

Pittsburgh. As home to West Virginia

University, the town offers lots of nightlife

and dining options, as well as other outdoor

activities, such as mountain biking, rafting

and fishing.

Lakeview Resort in Morgantown offers

two championship golf courses, a full service

spa, two restaurants, a 187-room hotel with

standard guestrooms and suites, as well

as 52 two-bedroom, fully-equipped condos

alongside one of the courses. The resort’s

two 18-hole courses are distinctly different.

The historic Lakeview Course opened its

first nine holes in 1950 and the second nine

in 1954. The Lakeview Course is rated 4 stars

by Golf Digest’s Places to Play and has been

rated among the top 100 public courses in

America. The course offers an intricate

tree-lined design, featuring large undulating

greens, tight fairways and scenic views.

The Lakeview Course boasts two signature

holes - the 564-yard 7th which features a

180-foot vertical drop from tee to green and

offers beautiful views of Cheat Lake and the

620-yard 18th which is one of the most

challenging par 5s you’ll ever encounter. The

green has never been reached in two.

The newer Mountainview Course was

designed by Bryan Ault and opened in 1985.

The course winds through the foothills

of the Allegheny Mountains, is very hilly

and challenging, and its medium-sized

greens have some undulation. It’s rated

3 1/2 stars by Golf Digest’s Places to Play.

Also in the greater Morgantown area

is Alpine Lake Resort in Terra Alta. The

18-hole course at this laid back resort is

challenging with narrow fairways and small

greens, some of which are elevated. Water

only comes into play on two holes, but it

does so with gusto on the 10th hole as

the green is surrounded by water on three

sides. The Alpine Lake Resort, which

features an on-site motel for convenient and

value-priced golf packages, was chosen by

Golf Traveler magazine as being a top-50

"scenic & friendly" destination in the U.S.

The Mountaineer Region also boasts two

of the top-rated private courses in the state.

Pikewood National in Morgantown was

named the “Best New Private Course in

America” when it opened in 2009 and is

currently ranked 3rd in the state by Golf

Digest. The Pete Dye Club in Bridgeport is

named “Best in State” by Golf Digest and it’s

the only course in West Virginia on GOLF

Magazine’s 2011 ranking of the “Top 100

Courses in the U.S.” Other accolades for the

course include being ranked 10th on

GolfWeek’s “Top 100 Modern Courses” and

landing at number 45 on “America’s 100

Greatest Courses” by Golf Digest in 2011.

The Pete Dye Club was built on 250 acres

atop and around a reclaimed coal mine. The

famed architect Pete Dye was involved in

every aspect of the design and layout. And

although Dye courses are notoriously

difficult, as a members-only course, he

tamed it down just a bit here so that golfers

of all skill levels can enjoy. Yet it’s still

challenging enough to have hosted a

Nationwide Tour event for several years.

The newest and most upscale state park

resort is located in the Mountain Lakes

Region of central West Virginia. Stonewall

Resort sits serenely on the shores of

Stonewall Jackson Lake in Roanoke, WV.

Overnight lodging options here include a

198-room lodge and deluxe lakeside cottages.

The resort also boasts an 18-hole Arnold

Palmer signature golf course, state-of-the-art

health and fitness facilities with indoor

swimming pool, full-service spa, conference

facilities, and two restaurants. Outdoor

amenities include a marina with boat

launch, fishing and pontoon boat rentals,

swimming pool, and hiking and biking trails

inside the Stonewall Resort State Park.

The Palmer Course at Stonewall Resort

boasts narrow, tree-lined fairways to pedestal

greens with lots of elevation changes in

between. And it may just be the most highly

acclaimed publicly-accessible tract in the

state, having been named one of GOLF

Magazine's "Top 10 New Courses You Can

Play" and Golf Digest’s second “Best New

Course in America” when it opened.

Celebrating ten years of operation, it’s

currently ranked number two in the state by

Golfweek’s “Best Courses You Can Play” and

listed at number eight on Golf Digest’s “Best

in State” rankings. Stonewall Resort’s course

also landed 42nd on Golfweek's “Top 100

Resort Courses.”

Golf writer, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh

Post-Gazette described The Palmer Course

best a few years after it opened: “The course

has just about everything. Par 3s that play over

water, par 4s that cut across wetlands and have

subtle elevation changes and par 5s that weave

through hardwoods and evergreens and

around mounded sand bunkers. The 183-yard

second hole might be the best par 3 in West

Virginia; and the elevated tee shot at No. 13, a

450-yard, par 4, is almost as enticing as the

view from the new Adirondack-style

clubhouse and restaurant, which majestically

overlooks the lodge and lake.”

The region also boasts several challenging

9-hole courses, including Riverbend Golf

Club in Buckhannon and Cherry Hill

Country Club in Richwood. Elevation

changes and stone bridges add character

to the picturesque setting of Riverbend

Golf Club. The course is surprisingly

difficult considering the fairways are flat

and the greens are medium speed. Cherry

Hill Country Club is located in a rural

area on Hinkle Mountain. It’s a fun test of

golf with wide-open fairways and small,

target greens. Palmer Course at Stonewall Resort, Roanoke

The New River-Greenbrier Valley Region

is located in the southern part of the state. It’s

home to Winterplace Ski Resort, the New

River Gorge Bridge, a 1700-foot span which

is the longest steel arch bridge in the Western

Hemisphere, and Tamarack, a unique

cooperative project in Beckley which houses

a collection of local arts and crafts and

indigenous foods for sale.

In the New River-Greenbrier Valley

Region, the renowned Greenbrier Resort

beckons. The resort’s first course, The Old

White, was built in 1913 and recently

underwent a restoration back to the original

layout envisioned by renowned architect,

C.B. Macdonald. In 2011, it was announced

that The Old White Course was now The

Old White TPC, joining the most

prestigious golf courses in the nation within

the PGA TOUR's The Tournament Player's

Club Network. And in that vein, The Old

White TPC will once again play host to The

Greenbrier Classic, a PGA TOUR, FedEx

Cup event the first weekend of July 2013.

The resort’s second course, The

Greenbrier, was redesigned by Jack Nicklaus

in anticipation of hosting the 1979 Ryder

Cup. Both Golfweek and GOLF Magazine

recently named it the top course in the state

in their respective public categories.

The Greenbrier Resort is listed as a

National Historic landmark, with its

classical architecture, beautifully manicured

landscapes, plus a level of guest service

which harkens back to bygone days. The

resort ranks fifth in Golf Digest’s list of "Best

Golf Resorts” and two of the courses are on

Golfweek’s list of “Best Casino Courses.” In

addition to the three award-winning golf

courses, a variety of recreational activities are

available, including indoor and outdoor

tennis courts and a 40,000-square-foot spa.

The most exciting addition is the resort’s

new 103,000 square-foot casino. It’s open to

resort guests and members only. The Casino

Club at The Greenbrier provides world-class

gaming, including table games and slots,

plus live entertainment, international cuisine

and unique shopping outlets, all located

beneath the resort grounds. This historic

resort offers traditional guestrooms and

suites, as well as guest and estate houses for

golf groups to choose. The Greenbrier is

indeed a special place for golfers to

experience Southern hospitality, exciting

nightlife and the history of the game.

The Resort at Glade Springs is also

located in the New River-Greenbrier Valley

Region and boasts three championship

courses. Designed by noted architect George

Cobb, the aptly-named Cobb Course

features rolling fairways framed by mature

forest leading up to some of the largest

greens and bunkers you’ll ever play. The

resort’s Stonehaven Course features non-

returning nines and some of the most

beautiful landscape around. It’s currently

Golf Digest’s best in state list. The recently

opened Woodhaven Course offers dramatic

views overlooking Glade’s Creek and

mountainous terrain and offers a unique

complement to the other two courses.

Lodging options at Glade Springs include

rooms and suites in the Inn; two-room

Executive Suites; four to six bedroom

Chestnut Hill Lodges; and two and three

bedroom Villas or Manor Houses, which

allow golf groups to choose one bedroom, a

floor of four bedrooms, or the entire house.

Grandview Country Club in Beaver

provides many elevation changes and great

views of the countryside. The front nine is a

bit flat, while the back is much hillier. Water

comes into play on several holes. This

medium-length layout has three sets of

teeboxes for a fun, challenging experience.

Additionally, two of the five state parks

with golf courses are located in the region.

Pipestem Resort State Park has two golf

courses. The 18-hole championship course

overlooks the Bluestone Canyon and the

9-hole short course is a challenging collection

of par 3s. This state park resort boasts modern

cottages and the hotel-style McKeever Lodge,

overlooking the canyon. Nearby is Twin Falls

State Park in Mullens. Water comes into play

on 15 of the 18 holes here. Strategy rather

than strength is called for on the George

Cobb layout. Twin Falls offers a 48-room

mountaintop lodge and 14 comfortable

vacation cottages. Both state park courses in

the region are given the prestigious 4 stars by

Golf Digest’s Places to Play.

The Potomac Highlands Region of West

Virginia is bordered by Virginia to the east

and Maryland to the north. The Allegheny

Mountains are most prominent in this

region, which make it a draw for skiers and

snowboarders during winter months. This

same terrain has allowed golf course

architects to create challenging layouts.

The Gary Player-designed Raven Golf

Club at Snowshoe Mountain Resort is

ranked the third best public course in the

state and one of the best resort courses in the

nation by Golfweek, plus it lands in the top

ten of “Best in State” by Golf Digest. In

designing this course, Player stuck close to

the lay of the land. The front nine winds

tightly through a hardwood forest and

around several lakes, and then the layout

climbs higher for the back nine, with

cliff-side tee boxes offering scenic beauty and

challenge. Although its slope rating doesn’t

adequately reflect it, the course is one of the

toughest in the state.

Golf packages are available at The Inn at

Snowshoe but condos and townhomes are

also available. Plus the village area of

Snowshoe Mountain Resort has a variety of

shopping, dining and nightlife options.

One of West Virginia’s hidden gem

golf courses is located in the town

of Franklin, The Highlands Golf Club

at Fisher Mountain. Fisher Mountain offers

magnificently unspoiled mountain views,

a world-class golf course and acreage

homesites. Beginning with the first hole,

a par 5, 525-yard downhill sloping fairway,

golfers of all handicaps will enjoy The

Highlands design. The course’s 18 holes are

surrounded by many tall pines, narrow

fairways and unique greens with tiered

landings. The signature hole, the par 4,

number 10, presents not only an island green

but also offers the golfer a breathtaking view

Mountains in this region is another highly

regarded West Virginia State Park Course.
