West Virginia is a land of magnificent mountains, beautiful highlands and rolling plateaus punctuated by whitewater rivers and meandering streams. It seems only natural that some of the best golf course designers in the business -- Robert Trent Jones, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus -- would find the landscape of the Mountain State the perfect place to build challenging and picturesque courses.

If you love to golf, you'll love golfing West Virginia. With over 50 public courses from which to choose -- from the world-famous Greenbrier to the mountain setting of Hawthorne Valley to the picturesque greens of Glade Springs -- you'll find there's a course built just for you.

West Virginia courses offer the best of the mountains. Choose your terrain challenge -- rocky outcroppings and varied elevation changes to wide, open meadow-like courses to fill a lazy afternoon. And what about the weather? Wonderful, cool mountain breezes keep summer afternoons comfortable, but mornings and evenings are special as mystical mists rise from valleys and glorious sunsets paint the mountaintops.

Want to stay the week? Many of our golf courses are located at four-season resorts that include every amenity under the sun, and then, many are located near towns and cities that offer all the comforts of home.

Whatever your preference, playing a game of golf on any of our West Virginia courses means relaxation, leaving the rush of the everyday world behind. So, come to the mountains.
