| Description: |
Consistently ranked one of the best golf courses in West Virginia, The Cobb Course is considered one of the best of over 300 George Cobb designed courses. The Resort at Glade Springs has completed a comprehensive upgrade to The Cobb Course lengthening it to over 7,000 yards while maintaining the classic integrity of its original design. Along with the numerous aesthetic changes, championship tees have been added to all eighteen holes. In addition to the newly expanded teeing areas, several fairway bunkers have been strategically placed throughout the course. To prepare for your round our newly renovated and expanded practice facility will help sharpen your skills.
This course has over 200 feet of elevation change, 54 sand bunkers, eight lakes, ever-changing sun angles, and fairways that subtly - or suddenly - slope the "wrong" way. You'll quickly learn that every green has its own quirks and pin placements can make or break your score.Glade Springs' new 18-hole championship course compliments the existing Cobb Course. Designed with non-returning nines, there is a halfway house at the turn, along with shelters at the farthest extremes of the routing. The topo is dramatic, featuring striking rock outcroppings, and a meandering path through a forest of mature oak, maple, beech and hickory along with huge rhododendrons for understory. The course has some of the most spectacular holes in West Virginia, along with a great variety of par 3's and par 5's anywhere on the east coast.
Take the opportunity to warm up on the small putting green adjacent to the first tee so you can adapt to the green speeds on these new and improved Bentgrass greens. After the front nine, have a bite and a beverage, and away you go to one of the most dramatic and challenging back nines west of the Atlantic.
