This county-owned course was designed with every skill level in mind. The fairways are tree lined, and water comes into play on three holes. Some of the greens are large and have enough slope to test your putting skill. The Coal River flows alongside part of the course and adds to the beautiful scenery. This is one of the four Kanawha County courses.

I love this course. The atmosphere is great and the property is well maintained. Best of all, the fees are extremely reasonable. I've golfed all over the world and for the value received, this course provides an outstanding experience.

Challenging yet fun, Jul 02, 2004

reviewer: Brian Keene from St. Albans, WV

I grew up on this course. Not as much countour as one would expect in the mountains. Tree lined fairways make the course easy to follow. Easy to get in trouble with wayward tee shots as the big pines keep you from doing anything but punching out. Not always kept in the best of shape. A fun course anyone can enjoy.

Plum Hollow Country Club
"Plum a plum"
If you like a rollicking round of golf, Plum is the place for you. The par 3's each have a distinctive personality unto themselves, one apart from the other. They are like chapters in a delicious novel that unravels step by step in front of your very eyes. The par 4's all present daunting challenges for maintaining a par round, owing to clever fairway bunkering or something not seen in the approach that becomes clear only upon reaching the putting surface. The par 5's are spectacular, culminating in a finishing crescendo in holes 17 and 18. With any kind of match coming to a conclusion -- a five dollar nassau or a challenge match with the wife -- anything can happen on these last two holes...and usually does!!! The round is made complete by the singular service inside the locker room by the most respected club house attendant in the state of Michigan, Chewy.

Nisqually Valley Golf Course
"A good winter course"
This is a good course for golfers who can have fun without elaborate amenities. Practice facilites are minimal as is the proshop. The main assets are: golf value per dollar (great senior rates), minimal paved golf car paths so a ball is seldom scuffed and ricocheted to bad places, playability through the winter as the drainage is good because only minimal grading was done during construction. Walking is easy as there are only three areas that rise 20 or thirty feet. There are some nice oak tree framed views of Mt. Rainier. On approximately 90 acres this is, consequently, a very compact course with fairways side by side, so be alert to the call of "fore" and protect yourself. You should not hesitate to yell when you strike one out of your fairway.

"One of the Capital Disctrict's best"
This course is one of the best in tha Albany area. The greens are VERY fast but true, the fairways are kept in great condition all year and it's a challange from any of the tees.
