It was a chilly spring day, but the sun was shining and we wanted to get out and play a round of…read moregolf. We often like to explore new courses, so my teenage son and I made our way over to Great Cove. If you want a fancy country club, this is not necessarily what you are looking for. But I love and support local golf courses, especially those that offer great customer service and sincerely appreciate and care about their guests. When we drove up, we were greeted by the President of the club board. She was friendly and personal and made us feel welcome. To add to our day, this was a fun course to play with a lot of variety. Some short, some long, a few good dog legs, and some water obstacles. Not bad for a decent price, including cart. The tee boxes were well-taken care of and the greens trimmed and allowed for some decent putting, though it is admittedly early in the year. Nonetheless, this place was warm, welcoming, fun, and affordable, making a perfect day for a father/son outing.

When we arrived, we were greeted politely by the starter and golf course staff. However, once we were inside, the attitude changed. I can't say if this is uniform of what their experience is like, or of this is just a small blip because of COVID, but the service at the restaurant and bar attached to the golf course was dismal. When we checked in for the course, we were informed that there is a $39 fee for a rider, in addition to the golf fee of $130 per person. While I was informed ahead of time that the $39 fee existed, I will say that of all of the high end courses I've ever played, this is the first course that ever actually enforced it. Not the best value, but I was fully aware of their policy, so I cannot say I wasn't informed. After checking in, we ordered food, and was told it would be ready by our tee time. When we arrived to pick up our food, I was told the food was just being boxed up, and charged for food that had not even been started. 10 minutes later I come to find out that the food had not been started, and I'm now 10 mins late for my tee time. After asking for a refund, I rush outside to hit my first tee shot, only to realize 2 mins later that they had shortchanged me by $13 dollars. Overall, the course is nice, and is in good shape. Having driven 3 hours from Philadelphia, I would have expected a better experience. If the golf and atmosphere had been better, I would have definitely been inclined to come back. After this experience, I would not spend the time, or money coming back. While it's hard to put into words how truly bad the experience was, the overall lack of professionalism and indifference to our concerns is among the worst I've seen at a high end course.

Voted as the #1 public gold course in Pennsylvania by Golf Week Magazine, BJ was not about to miss…read morean opportunity to golf here. First off, the views of the surrounding Allegheny Mountains and Cumberland Valley as breathtaking. The golf course has five par 5's and five par 3's, including one named "Tiny Tim". The No. 4, which is the "Volcano," is rated as the hardest hole on the entire course. On No. 10, you hit from an raised green over a valley to a two-tiered green with a high shelf in back. All in all, BJ enjoyed this course.

Review for neighborhood only. Large development in rural WV with lots of…read morehomes/townhomes/condos/cabins and nearby nature/hiking trails. We saw lots of deer in the neighborhood and stopped a few times to let them cross the road. There's a golf course and club house with a restaurant but we didn't check those out during our visit. Only downside is many of the streets didn't have sidewalks so walking the neighborhood seems a bit iffy since you have to walk in the street. I enjoyed staying here and would stay again if I'm back in the area.

Awesome time. We were in the area for a bachelor party and, even though it had been pouring down…read morerain for a day and a half, we were able to get in a fun 18 holes.

First, the disclosures: - 18-20 handicapper…read more- I prefer cheap tracks w/ no dress code. - I usually walk, and I'm a sucker for scenery. I've played here about 50 times, and I can't believe they only charge $10 to walk as many holes as you want on a weekday. It's $28 to play 18 with a cart on weekends. So, why so cheap? - The fairway and rough grass is basically as god made it. Now, all that said, it's 5-stars because: - It's not an easy course. - The greens are pretty well kept. All the sins of a cheapo golf course are forgiven when the greens are in good enough shape. - It's pretty. It's right there along the Catoctins. - Folks are friendly. I brought my son here a lot, and they never charged me more than a few bucks (if at all).

When I visited here and played golf by an invitation, it felt disconnected and not very personal. The greens, fairways, tee boxes, and practice facility are all in very good condition because they get very little play, but I was left with a very unimpressive feeling when leaving. My overall opinion is that it is overpriced.. My feeling though is that the course has no memorable holes and is not that exciting. It can be challenging, but a bit gimmicky as ball placement is important and knowing where to hit. I actually played very well, but was left with a very unimpressive feeling when leaving. My overall opinion is that it is overpriced.

One place for improvement though that would have gotten them a fifth star was that the sand traps have been degraded. Grass has been allowed to grow down into the sand. I believe that Lodestone was recently named the 4th best public golf course in Maryland. I think if they would have improved the ratings to 2nd or 3rd if the sand traps were back the way they were originally designed by Hale Irwin.

No Beverage cart, snack bar only, very little selection. No one manning the "bag drop" which really wasn't a bag drop. There was a sign as you pulled in, but there were no racks, no staff, no signs. Gravel road for over a half mile back to club. Gravel parking lot. Driving range mats with no tees. We had 5 people, playing 3 and 2 and were rudely threatened that if we played a 5 we would be kicked off the course (we hadn't even asked), we never saw anyone in front of or behind us, until the 17th hole. We could have easily played a five-some and had no issues. I would expect a hell of a lot more for $158!
