Probably one of the most scenic courses I have ever played. Course conditions were great, although there were only a few greens that had just been aerated so putting was a little inconsistent between those but not a major concern. Pace was terrible, a ladies outing of 12 wouldn't let anyone play though but other than that I was thoroughly satisfied with the round.

Course was in great shape other than the greens looking like swiss cheese with ball mark, not sure if they just needed rolled or had an outing previous. But other than being a little bumpy still in good shape. Everything else was first rate, tee boxes and fairways were pristine. Beautiful course with the best layout you could ask for, a little bit of everything.

Good course for the money. Not blown away but I would play it again.

Had an absolute blast playing the course. Played it for the second time this year and it did not disappoint. The only reason I gave 3 stars for course conditions was 3 greens were undergoing some work so the flag was placed in front with a white circle I guess representing the putting surface. I understand the need for greens to get some maintenance from time to time especially on mountain courses where it is a little tougher but paying full price for only 15 true greens seemed like a little bit of a rip off. Will definitely come back next year though, staff was as friendly as could be. Love the area.

Played at Nemacolin for the first time on a gorgeous fall day. All I can say is wow. Even with just aerating the fairways I can't think of one negative thing about the course. Tough course but playable. Punishes wild shots but if you can keep it in play it will reward. Can't wait to come back.

I thought this was a very nice course although very slow, but to be expected on a nice Sunday afternoon. We were paired with another twosome so I wasn't crazy about that but the other pair were nice guys. The pace was extremely slow taking about 5.5 hours for a fairly short course. A LOT of bad players out there, every time I turned around I was ducking from a bad shot from someone else on the course. Thought the 18th was very interesting and makes you think about the shot you want to hit. The greens were sneaky with how much break the actually had versus what it appeared. Had some amazing scenic views on the back nine and I wouldn't mind playing here again on a not so busy day.

Played this for the first time this year, family vacations always in the OBX and have played all the ones on the beach but had not tried any before coming across the bridge. It was well worth the extra few minutes of driving and probably my favorite course in the area. Excellent course conditions, a little short if you are a long hitter (all par 5s are reachable in 2 with decent drives) but I wasn't complaining as well as I scored on the back 9. Caught a little rain at 8,9, and 10 but the course drained exceptionally and you couldn't even tell it had rained within 20 minutes. Pace was great, at 9:30 on a Thursday only a few other groups out.

Played this course for the first time and was not disappointed. So many great mountain views on a very well laid out track. Only a few major elevation changes but not enough to take away from the course. Beautiful day and enjoyed the drive in with the gorgeous homes on the lake. It was cart path only the day I played because of 3+ inches of rain within the last few days also attributing to a few of the bunkers being washed out but I have no doubt that would be taken care of within the next day or two so I look past it. The girl in the clubhouse was extremely friendly and helpful. 79 dollars is a little steep for any course in my opinion but this course made me feel a little better about paying that much as nice as it was and as much fun as I had, playing one of my best rounds of the year so far. Will play again.

Just moved to the area last month and had heard this was an excellent course, having a good history and is becoming an excellent play to play once again. It did not disappoint. Played with my father, a higher handicap and he still had a blast. Very good mix of holes and each one a new challenge. Really impressed that the new owner took the time to come up and talk to us, as well as the gentlemen in the bar as we got some snacks at the turn were very friendly. Only reason I gave a 3 star for staff friendliness is that the guys mowing did not stop while we were on the tee, the same box they were mowing. I do not really have a problem with it but I do know many people do, Fairways are just a little hard, but not complaining there either as I got a few extra yards off of the drive ;) Will definitely make this one of my go to courses in the area.

Played this course for the first time with some family members on Memorial Day and the pace of play was excellent, every hole had a group but never had to really wait to hit a shot. Layout was fine, a little short but not terribly bad. Greens rolled true and the break was a little deceiving at times but overall a good, simple 18 holes for anyone to play.

I am someone who always likes playing new courses, being from the Morgantown area this one was a no brainer. The course was a little wet still from being hammered from rain the weekend before but not in bad shape at all. Greens are nice and small, relatively speaking but all rolled very nicely. Mostly short holes but a few longer par 4s thrown in. Not sure why but the yardages on a couple holes on the back 9 were not even close, based on my GPS rangefinder. Quite a few blind shots and lost a couple balls that were not more than a few yards off of the fairway.

Great course for a decent price considering the quality of the course, it is a course with a lot of up and down but what I liked is that even though it was very undulating throughout the round it wasn't to the extent that every approach shot was from a funky lie. Nice even fairways but still a challenge for the average golfer. The course makes you play every club in the bag and that is what I like, nice mix of distances for the holes, par 3, 4 and 5s all varied. Only strange thing was on the Par 3 8th hole the tee box was a mat because they can't keep the grass there? Not a bad thing just different.

I really enjoyed playing this course for the first time. A variety of holes, challenging but able to be played in different ways to suit your game. The holes on the lake were beautiful views. Played the last few holes with another two-some, they were members, very friendly. Only complaint being that one of the ladies in the restaurant seemed to be totally incompetent. Asked me for my ID twice (then asked the stupid question if Tennessee accepted West Virginia licenses? Last time i checked its a government issued document). Outside of that minor annoyance great course and will play again when in the area.

First time playing this course I thoroughly enjoyed it. The front nine is a little more wide open where the back nine is more undulating. I liked the contrast between the two. It was extremely windy when we played, but a storm was blowing in at the time. Overall one of the best courses I have played in while, very well maintained and operated.

This is an excellent course layout, however in later Dec when I play the course was in very bad shape. The pro said that it had been a very rainy month and it showed. The fairways were all very long and some so wet the ball would plug, but understandable out of season. Would like to play in peak season to see how good it can be.
