I am not sure the average Yelper is going to make it this deep into the WV mountains to play golf…read morebut this course is pretty darn nice. They took an old 'mountain top mine' and made it into a Links style golf course. The layout is well put together. In spots the course is wide open but there are areas that because of the local snakes they advise you don't go looking for you ball. The club house is okay for the location of the course. You actually drive by mining trucks to get to the top where the course is located. This course is a great use of some land that otherwise would have not been used. 'A gem amongst all the coal!'

Twisted Gun is more of a professional golf course. It's beautifully laid out on top of the…read moremountain, which was once a strip mine but was reclaimed. It has the type of fairways that you only see on pro tour courses. The greens are huge and normally fast. Plenty of hazards like sand traps and water. The only thing missing are trees. The fairways are long so anyone expecting a good score better be able to hit the long ball. The course is well maintained. Has a driving range as well as a practice green. It's an easy course to follow as there are hard top cart paths that lead to the next hole like a links course. Beautiful scenery with lots of wildlife to be seen. It has one restroom on each 9 holes made from a train caboose which adds a nice touch. The main thing to avoid are missing the fairways as the roughs are small and hitting past the rough is a lost ball. The tall grasses past the fairways make finding a ball almost impossible. The people running the club house are super friendly. I guess the only down side to playing this course is getting to it, lol. You have to drive on some very narrow roads that have sharp curves that wind all the way back to the top where the golf course is located. Still this is my favorite course of any others within 50 miles of my location. If you love golf as much as I do you owe it to yourself to go try Twisted Gun at least once. Thanks!

I love our state parks. All of them. But Jenny Wiley might be at the top of the list. Why? Well…read more.. The scenery...the lake nestled within the mountains is beautiful at all times of the year. The view from the dining room makes you want to linger over your meal for sure. And the hiking trails lead to some epic mountain views. The staff...always helpful, always friendly. The lake... fun fishing and boating. And again, you have the views of the mountains as you ride around the lake. Pontoon rental was easy and reasonably priced. Thanksgiving dinner--they know what they're doing with this. You don't have to make a reservation, and although it's busy, you don't wait forever for a table. There was plenty of comfortable seating while we waited. The food was great-- every Thanksgiving side you could want, and friendly waitstaff. The cabins are cozy, clean, and spacious. Ours had a nice screened in porch and a deck overlooking the lovely views. If you're a state employee, make sure to let them know so that you can get that state rate. It's a great deal!

One of my favorite hikes ever. If you get a chance to check out the elevator, it's so much fun!…read moreWell...we had a ton of fun because there were trees down from the recent storm and it gave us an opportunity to be creative and make it through the obstacles. I would suggest checking out the outlook first, then find a path down the mountain and use elevator to come back up because it's a nice, steady (not steep) 2.5 mile hike back up taking that path. This park is beautiful and there are so many signs so you know which path you are on at all times. We did manage to get lost for a mile or two but that's mostly because we are wanderers haha. Do yourself a favor and download the app that was designed specifically for the park. It will help guide you in your hike!

It is a small city, but it has grown so much in recent years! Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, there's a lot to do! There's plenty of shopping, many restaurants to visit, and lots of the downtown area is walkable, offering some cool public art. Plus you'll find historical spots to visit, like the Middle Creek National Battlefield and the Samuel May House. And if you're looking to take in some art or theatre, you can visit the Mountain Arts Center or the Jenny Wiley Theatre. Or, if you're looking for a different kind of show, check out the East Kentucky Science Center and Planetarium. And perhaps my favorite thing in the area - Jenny Wiley State Resort Park! There's so much to do at Jenny Wiley. You can visit the lodge to dine or shop, hike, mountain bike, kayak, boat, fish, swim, check out the dam, or visit the golf course! Whatever you decide to do in the area, Prestonsburg is a nice little city to visit! If you find yourself nearby, it's worth checking out.

The views on the back 9 are pretty. Nice greens, roll fast and true. Fantastic practice course. No tee times needed, just show up and play. Pace of play is great. Cons: No elevation changes, very flat course. Natural grass fairways (including weeds and dandelions, also on tee boxes.) Cart paths are ROUGH. Difficult to find the way around the course because there's no signage where to go. The greens are mostly flat without any break. Overall, an enjoyable course and great value.
