This executive course was built on flat terrain, but located in the hills. The course is wide open at times, and at other times seems like a forest. The course features a few small greens with a little mounding here and there. The Elk River flows alongside the course on the back nine. The most difficult hole is #13, a 295-yard, par 4, featuring a dogleg left fairway. The course is enjoyable to walk. This course is one of four Kanawha County courses. The scorecard doesn't show handicaps for individual holes.

The greens are covered in goose crap. It is a shame that the county doesnt take better care of a nice little course.

Lakeside Golf Course
"Great Value; Conditions"
This course is great for the price. The greens keeper has done an excellent job. He keeps the greens fast, the fairways immaculate, and the rough is even starting to affect play. This course has a great layout. If your in the area this is the best course to play.

Mount Vernon Country Club
"Good course management required"
This tight, tree-lined venue has numerous doglegs, precise bunkering and water on 14 holes. Those challenges, combined with relatively short length make it a serious test for all levels of players. Four sets of tees accommodate virtually all golfers. The club does not discriminate against women in membership or availability of tee times. Exceptional food and service are other attributes which make this club a tremendous value.

"good course for using all your clubs"
The front nine is narrow and short. A good drive and a short iron to the green and you will score well. The back nine is a completely different course than the front. Long open fairways for the long hitter and you will need your long irons or fairway woods to get you to the green.

River Forest Country Club
"River Forest: A golfer's Golf Course."
Probably one of the most maligned course in Western Pennsylvania, and for good reason: River Forest is a very difficult layout, and not for Patzers who want to roll it up for a par or bogey, and not for long drivers who can find themselves with a 2 stroke penalty quickly. The course seems to have an uncanny, and sometimes eerie ability to locate and humble arrogant and inattentive golfers with triple or quadruple bogeys. Designed by original owner Wynn Treadway in the mid 60's, this classical purist believed in the straight ball and excellent short-game skills. Isn't that what golf should be about? Each par four has a specific landing area for the drives, otherwise one is penalized with line of sight problems or an uneven stance. This is usually followed by small, bunkered greens that require excellent putting skills. Although the par fives give some relief(At this point in your round, it is much welcomed!)the same applies to those greens as well. And these greens are more undulated than usual, to say the least, but that is the central character of this most challenging and beautiful golf course. If you like flat greens and wide fairways for your Jumbo driver, there are plenty of Public courses in the area for you. However,if you are a golfer and want to play the game as it should be played, then River Forest is for you. Just remember to bring your A game, some good wedges and just a little respect for an excellent golf course that, when you play well, it really means something. Beautiful is the word, so make sure you take a lot of time to look at the scenery. This usually has a calming affect that can enhance one's performance. Couple this with an extremely friendly and attentive clubhouse staff, will result in an exceptional golfing experience.
