I moved to this area 8 years ago and was very much impressed by this course when first played, hadn't been back for a while and played recently. What a shame. Tee boxes are in horrible condition, fairways are at least half dead, greens have so many ball marks you can hardly put without hitting a bump. The fringes have been taken over by weed (crab-like) grass.. I'm no expert but I think this can be blamed on the weather only to a certain degree as all courses in this area are struggling but this just seems to be poor management of the course. The Eastern Panhandle of WV is starving for a decent public golf course.....help!!!!

The course wasn't in the greatest shape as it has been in the past due to the unusually wet weather but this is true of all courses in this area this year. Greens have held up well and were very nice, many tees had been reseeded and bunkers were for the most part in pretty good shape, some had standing water. Many bare spots in fairways and rough due to the weather but overall still a great course and great value. Staff was very friendly.

A very well kept, straight forward course and a great value, I highly recommend it. I wish it were closer to my home and then I would play it much more often!

Beautiful course on a beautiful day. Was crowded but flowed well, just over 4 hours on the round. Greens and fairways were near perfect. Most tee boxes were very good also. The course is a straight forward layout without surprises, very little water comes into play and just rolling hills. The staff were all very nice. The course would actually be a pretty easy course with one huge exception and that's the brutal rough.....very thick and well maintained but at about 4-5 inches, so expect to loose a few unless you step on them! Would play again in a heartbeat.

I've played here a couple times and have always had a good experience. We played blue/red this time. Both were very well manicured, greens were smooth with few ball scars. Fairways were in great shape and the rough was cut down to about 2 inches but played tougher than it looked due to the thickness from all the rain, plus we played in the early dew. Bunkers on the red course were outstanding, don't see nice fluffy white sand too often like this around this area. All 3 sides are similarly hilly but not over the top. A very fair challenge for the average golfer. The clubhouse is really nice and the carts were in great shape. One negative, range was mats only on this day, not sure if that is always the case as it seems they have grass tees just couldn't use them this day. Staff made us really feel at home.

The weather cleared up and I was bored so I found a great deal for $15 plus fee. Problem was it was an hour drive for me, but I like to try different courses...would it be worth the drive? I was expecting a very hilly course given it's location and name, however, I was pleasantly surprised to find a very level track with no blind shots, what you see is what you get. The course was in very good condition, tee boxes were in good shape, greens were smooth and fast, fairways were in very good shape (but were probably due to be mowed), and the rough was cut moderately short which made finding and hitting balls easy. Bunkers were in very good condition, well raked, full of sand and no weeds. The clubhouse is a restored farmhouse with a really nice outdoor bar and grill. So here's the verdict: if you want a really challenging layout this is not your course, but if you're like me and you want to enjoy the game without spending the day looking for your ball and playing massively long par 4's this is the place. The staff was very friendly, two thumbs up! PS this would be a super nice course to walk, very few long walks to the tees!.

Nice, very challenging layout that can play very long from the tips. Nice scenic course except on the road side where the hotel and businesses are visible. Very, very, hilly; several blind shots, plenty of water but not excessive . Fairways were in very good shape, greens were still a little dormant but very fast and true, several with a lot of undulation.. Tee boxes were in need of some TLC, sparse grass.. Some bunkers were OK but several were in very bad condition with no sand (GUR) or weeds. Rough was pretty wild, if you don't hit the fairways it's really hard to find your ball especially on some of the blind holes. I suspect it's just a little too early in the season to expect great conditions but I would play it again regardless.

I wish I lived a little closer to this course. It's a very flat layout, unusual for this area so it would be a great walking course. The course is always in good condition and has a nice range and practice green. I would say it's the best value in the area, not the greatest course, but very nice and relatively inexpensive to play usually.

Beautiful course, very challenging layout, excellent condition, fairways are outstanding. One of the nicest courses I've played in years. Definitely a course you need to play a couple of times to know the nuances but fair even to the first time player. Lots of elevation changes. I will play here again especially if I can get another great value like I did through GN.

I got a great deal through GN so really I shouldn't complain too much but I must be honest.
Pros: The course is a very nice layout with a lot of potential. The fairways appeared to be pretty well covered with grass but it's early in the season. The staff was very nice.
Cons: Greens had been spiked and were very long and slow. The bunkering was some of the worst I've ever seen .....very little sand, lots of dirt, grass weeds, etc. I tried to rake one and couldn't break the surface. A couple were full of rocks (what's up with that?). Carts were dirty, the clubhouse is a shed (with apologies to shed owners who might be offended). The cart path on the front nine was nice but the back side was rocks and mud, very bumpy.. Hazards were not staked.
I'd be hard pressed to recommend this course but based on reviews I feel I should give it another shot later in the season, perhaps they just had a bad winter.

Tees, fairways and rough were in excellent condition. Greens had been recently aerated and were still a little bumpy. Bunkers were hard packed, wet and in generally poor condition due to recent rains. Otherwise a very nice moderately challenging course. We got a great deal through Golf Now so hard to complain.

A nice facility, neat and clean, nice carts, nice clubhouse. Course was well kept, greens were very nice with challenging slopes at times, fairways were in good shape and rough was mowed relatively short (I would know). Course is traditional tree lined with few houses coming into the picture, some narrow fairways, some generous. Not many water hazards and not too many OBs. Bunkers were sand and clay mixture making them rather hard and difficult to predict. Nice course would play again and recommend.

Course was in good shape, good value. Bunkers were wet and hard packed.

What a nice facility, course was just in perfect condition, got a great deal through Golfnow. Highly recommend toanyone. Would play again.....and again....and again.

I guess I shouldn't complain because we caught a 19$ tee time, most were $40 and I would expect a little more for that price especially considering the course history (former private club, PGA tour stop, etc.). The carts were dirty and cart paths were in need of repairs. Fairways were generally very good but greens were slow and bumpy, granted still not healed from aeration. Layout was nice, short but challenging due to good par 3's, good bunkering, doglegs and some blind shots. Recent flooding had caused problems on several holes and bunkers overall were muddy, hard packed and many were small lakes....not much you can do after 4 inches of rain, I guess. I would still recommend, but this course could definitely use a makeover.

Overall a nice challenging layout, fairways and greens are very nice, bunkers OK. Played on Monday so was ablel to play <3hrs. The clubhouse burned down so they are operating out of trailers and doing a good job with that, all things considered. Course condition is probably better than most but has gotten a little rough around the edges....long rough. Yardage markers are difficult to find, very few ball washers. The grass on the driving range was at least 3 inches long. Staff was very friendly.

Great course, well maintained, staff was friendly. Play time was horrible, took us over 5 1/2 hours to play and this was on a non holiday Thursday. Although they warned us it would be slow and suggested we play the boulder course (which is not nearly as nice), this was pretty ridicules. We waited at least 3-5 minutes on every single tee box. I had not had this problem when I played there before. The staff needs to find the bottle neck groups and get them to speed up play.
