Glade Springs Village - Woodhaven Course
About
Surrounded by the hills of West Virginia, the Woodhaven Course at Glade Springs Village looks out across the Glade Creek Gorge. It has a unique design with two distinct nine-hole loops, one that overlooks the gorge and tumbles across a series of swales and one that winds through a narrow valley, twisting through mature forests filled with maple, beech, hickory, and oak trees. Natural rock gardens and colorful rhododendrons add even more beauty to the course. One of the toughest holes is the par-4 eighth, which calls for a carry over a ravine. Though the playing area is wide, the hole sharply doglegs left and features a difficult second shot no matter how much you can cut off the tee.

Beautiful view
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.
Tough but fair
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
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.
Tough but fair
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.
A must play if you’re in southern WV!!
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!

Great shape
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.
Perfect Fall Day
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 !
Challenging layout
This is a great mountain layout with terrific scenery. Pick your tres wisely and enjoy the challenge
Outstanding Mountain Golf
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!!!
Excellent layout
Played the blue tees at 6500 yards. A lot of forced carries over 225 at this range. Elevation changes really shorten the Par 3s and allow for 2 drivable Par 4s. Staff was great, scenery was excellent, and it is well worth the price.
Long par 4’s
Multiple long par 4’s. For example, hit a perfect drive on one and still had 220 to the green.
Hidden Gem!
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
One of the best & hardest course in WV
Course is a beast- but an absolute beauty!!! Considering it's price point- I'm convinced it's one of the better values in all of golf- that said- some crazy lawsuit battle is going on & they aren't allowed to sell any food or beverages at Woodhaven- some quarrel with the main resort. The main resort did run over some beers to us- which was super appreciated- but they need to figure that out sooner rather than later. Overall 100% worth it great course in Excellent shape- you'll be hard pressed to hit your handicap here- JP
Mountain golf with fall foliage
Beautiful venue,
mountain golf course
Some spectacular par three holes.
You must keep the golf ball in fairway.The pro shop warned against looking for golf balls in woods. Copperhead snakes.
There are a lot of blind shots that if you hit in to rough you could lose your golf ball on what you thought was a good shot
I suggest playing forward one set of tees. I am a 12 index and played the white tees and it was enjoyable yet challenging round
The number one handicap hole on front nine is really tough.
8000 steps using a cart and following 90 degree rule on fairways.
I would definitely play this course again.
Challenging course.
Woodhaven is a very challenging, mountainous, picturesque course. Not for your high handicapper or short ball hitter. Some turf maintenance issues are developing on tees, fairways and greens. Many players are Not fixing digits which is unfortunate.
