Glade Springs Village - Stonehaven Course

Great stop off point for trips traveling I-77 thru WV.
Drive, 4pm golf, drive or golf at 10am next day.
Will definitely be back next trip, just be sure you know exactly where the course is.

Great course. Had the place to myself it felt like. No pace issues, played at my own steady pace the whole 18. Only complaint about this place is lack of driving range access and lack of concessions or drinks to buy at turn or elsewhere.

I was on my way through WV and wanted to stop for 18 since I was going to be near Glade but had seen where they had recently punched the greens at Stonehaven. I was hesitant but after a quick chat with Matt F, he assured me that they were in good condition along with the rest of course and wow, he was was not wrong. I couldn’t tell the first green had even been punched, it felt like it was a little slower due to recent rain and not aerification. I got lucky and was paired with two awesome locals who had a lot of course and local knowledge so it made for a great round. All in all great shape! I would have never believed I was there 2 weeks post aerification and heavy rain.

Unique course in the Glade Spring resort. Very picturesque. Not much of a pro shop to get anything. Pro Shop attendant and starter were very friendly and courteous. Little more forgiving than the Woodhaven course that we played the previous day. Would definitely go back to play if I am in the area again

After committing to play, I find that it is "cart path only" when I arrive at the course. This course is quite hilly and involves a lot of uphill and downhill walking even if you hit the fairway every time.
Some holes could've easily accommodated cart travel. Other holes had moist areas -- those holes could be "cart path only." So the two of us, 82 and 87 year old guys got quite a workout. But the kicker is that, evidently, that cart path only rule only applies to those of us who are not property owners. The threesome behind us were using self-owned carts and were NOT adhering to "cart path only." The takeaway? -- check beforehand as to the course conditions. I didn't. BTW.....the course is NOT walkable.

All in all it was it nice round with good weather. Although it would have been nice to of had a heads up that the greens had been punched 7 days ago. Might try it again in a few weeks after greens heal up.
I recommend calling the clubhouse and asking about the greens b4 you pay to play in the next 2 weeks, cause they wont bring it up to ya in conversation

Every tee shot is worthy of a post card. Had the course to myself. Perfect day.
Id recommend a bright colored ball in the fall. Lost lots of balls off the edge of the fairway.

We enjoyed our round. We played there in 2021. It was fun to know where to hit it! We will be back !!

The course is very challenging & not a place for beginners to play., The changes in elevation were amazing. This is not a course you can walk. Golf cart only.. There were many blind tee shots so you need to play the course with someone who knows the layout. The greens were a bit firm so you could not go for pins. I look forward to playing the course again. I got a great rate for the round on the Golf Now web site.

Rained 7 out of 9 holes then let up and quit on 11 but the course played well even soaked. Would like to play again.

Very beautiful course in very good condition! The views and course layout is excellent as well. But for $100 plus for a round of golf, I was disappointed to find out when I got there, due to a falling out between ownerships of the golf course and the resort, there is not a clubhouse. Additionally, the course could not sell anything so we played 18 holes in the heat with one bottle of water which they did provide before we started. During the round the course of play was not supervised or managed very well. First nine holes was played in 2 hours but waited on every shot coming in and the final 9 holes took over 3 hours 15 minutes to complete. In fairness, play was partially affected by cart path only rule due to the heavy rains the previous days. But over 3 hours for 9 holes is just too slow.

Would definitely play again if they get business issues solved, provide clear instructions to location of course, a clubhouse, place to get something to eat or drink, etc. Until then I wouldn’t recommend.

The course was in really good condition for winter conditions. The weather was really nice but it was cart path only. That was the only thing that I didn’t like about the round.

I enjoy sound reviews that are relevant to the quality of the conditions on the golf course.

I’ll do my best.

Course-

Spectacular topography flows comfortably through 18 holes, there are no holes begging to fit within the design.

Green Complexes are stellar, very healthy, usually fast but November Golf means November green speed, shaggy tee boxes and fairways.

Understood going in, rating it in November, Solid 9/10.

I have never cared about staff, restaurant menu, pace of play, etc. Give the best available conditions whenever possible.

This course was well designed with great views and challenging play. Some turf maintenance issues are developing on tees, fairways and greens. Glad to see green aeration was recently done. Unfortunate that many players are Not fixing their ball marks and divots..but would play again.

I have played this course numerous times and it becomes a little easier each time, because of the fact that there are numerous blind tee shots. It can be a little frustrating when you play it the first time due to the blind tee shots. It would be helpful if they had GPS on the carts, but they don't!
