| Big Bend Golf Course -- Noisy, junky | ||
| Review by: David Litton | This is the first course I've ever played where I had to endure incessant, deafening train horns! It turns out that one of the busiest rail spurs in the country has a siding adjacent to the course, hauling coal out of the mountains. The road from Charleston is just horrible. Along the way, visitors are subjected to junked vehicles everywhere. Many fellows go to this course to load up on beer before playing, and after playing. It's just terrible. | |

| Riviera Country Club -- memorable course | ||
| Review by: Bob Brown | I've played many courses, in several states. None more fun than Riviera. I grew-up in Huntington, playing Riviera, two to three times a week for twenty years. I can remember the swishing sound of the glider-planes flying over holes number 11 and 12 while landing. Hitting old balls into the Ohio River on number 14 and 15. Moving rail cars have saved me many times from out-of-bounds on number 11. We named number 8 after my brother-in law, because he always thought he could cut the corner, but never could. (The Chadwell Hole) I remember when the trees were planted, the lake on number 9 grew, number 16 had a fairway, the mulberry tree on 17 tee, green fees were $1.50 weekdays and $3.00 on weekends. The best news is, I played Riviera a couple times last year, and it was in great shape. Anyone playing this course will enjoy the scenery, the clubhouse, parking, and the challenge. | |
