I have NEVER been so disrespected as I was today at this course! DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU-RE A WOMAN!…read moreTHEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT HOW YOU ARE TREATED! I was at the course and not only was it a complete mud pit and not taken care of, I was treated like total garbage. While playing I was accused of stealing someone's ball. Like seriously. 1. Im not a theif. And 2. He had literally asked me earlier if I saw his ball because he shanked the hell out of his shot and he hit it into the rough. Maybe he should've been told to stop blaring music and he'd play better. I know I would've done better without it distracting me. I told him I didn't take his ball and only found 2 bright orange balls both of which weren't his. Then he had the audacity to accuse me again at the 17th hole and I told him no. He then proceeded to call my boyfriend vulgar names and then told him he was a f***ot. When I went into the club house to ask for a manager I was met with a guy who said he wasn't a manager but could "help" me. He didnt help. He was actually the opposite and laughed at me. I informed him about my situation outside about the 20 something year old behind me who accused me of stealing his ball and were super vulgar that he can't do anything about it and that he basically didnt care about how it made me feel. I don't think that courses should let these type of people play and cause issues. No one should talk to a woman this way and someone should teach the employees at this course some manners and respect for woman as well. I know there aren't as many woman that play golf as men, but when we go, we do not like to be disrespected and have people try to start fights with us when we have done NOTHING wrong. Any woman who knows her man plays at this course, be sure to let him know that you don't approve and he shouldn't either. I will NOT be back.

I called to ask some info and it took a couple times to get through. The guy who answered was a bit irritable and made me unsure about booking a tee time. I went ahead and booked anyway, and I'm glad I did. I had a great experience. Got paired with 2 pretty experienced golfers that didn't mind a newbie tagging along. The course is beautiful. They have one 18 hole course and a putting green but that's it. No driving range. They also have a clubhouse that has some snacks and beers but super laid back. Kind of like a concession stand. I think this is a great place to start off if you are learning to golf. Not strict on the dress code either. Can't wait to go back!

However, I consider that, Cadiz or Oglebay.

Golf Course Review - Williams Golf and Country Club - 071617…read more I played the Williams Golf and Country Club (WGCC) course on 7/16/17. The par 72 course is a private club with a long history dating back to 1932. I have known about it since I was a kid but never had the chance to play it. It always had the reputation of being in great shape and a special place to play. Since I was visiting my parents near Pittsburgh, I checked out the WGCC website and found they offered a 'member for a day' promotion for $59 that included greens fee, cart, and a drink. I called to check on availability and it was my good fortune to set up a midafternoon tee time that was on the same day as the second day of the men's club championship. I figured this timing should present the course at its best condition. WGCC is a short drive from the Pittsburgh suburbs down Route 22 and once you exit Route 22 and negotiate a few turns and a steep hill climb, you enter a piece of property that has large trees shading the entrance, and makes you feel like you stepped back in time to an old school kind of country club. The design was interesting. Every hole seemed to be different from any other and presented a scenic and tight challenge with mature trees lining the fairways. Since the course is laid out across the top of a hill, most of the holes seemed to slope toward the right. This course is not overly long, and some of the holes invite you to try and bomb it, but if you do, you will spend a lot of time chipping back to a fairway out of the trees. WGCC requires patience and strategy when playing it. The course is a par 72 that includes 3 par fives and 3 par threes. The two par fives on the front nine follow each other as the third and fourth holes, and were the longest two holes on the course. The par three sixth hole was a bear playing at 243 yards that day. Several of the par fours were relatively short at 350 yards, but the mature trees made placement of tee shots critical. The eighth hole was a downhill par three that only measured 133 yards but was surrounded by sand traps. The course is located about 3 miles off Route 22 and using my iPhone's map function made it easier to find. I played the blue tees which is one of seven tees or combinations available. The blue tees play to 6,586 yards with a rating of 72.2 and slope of 138. The various tee combinations play from 6,586 yards to a short course of 5,403 yards. Service I called WGCC, after seeing the Member for a Day promotion online, on a Friday and asked if I would be able to play Sunday afternoon. The pro, Luke, was very friendly and welcoming; invited me to come on down; and set up a 2:30PM tee time. When I got to the course, everybody who worked there was welcoming and friendly. When I was finished, those staff members were also friendly; asked me how I liked the course; and encouraged me to come back and play it again. Overall Condition I was pleasantly surprised by the condition and appearance of the course even though I had always heard the course was in great shape. Fairways, greens, and tees were in great shape and the course was visually very pleasing. Since I was playing by myself, and not being pushed by anybody, I found myself taking pictures on many of the holes. I have included a few of those pictures including a picture from the tee of the fifth hole which is about 400 feet above and overlooks the Ohio River. Clubhouse/Amenities This course has a restaurant, clubhouse, driving range, and practice green. I had no time to use the driving range or any of the other facilities. The golf carts were modern and clean, and I have attached a picture. Value I played the course on the 'member for a day' rate of $59 plus sales tax. I thought the course and service provided solid value for the price and was a very pleasant experience that I will repeat on a return trip to the Pittsburgh area.

I love…read morethe lodge and the new updates they've made, the glass house, the museum inside of the mansion, the beautiful views throughout the hills, it's truly an incredible place. I have been going to Oglebay since I was very little, and still continue to visit due to my grandparents living there... but I will say the kids Park absolutely needs renovated. There are so many trip hazards and the entire park is very old and has outdated play equipment. I highly suggest they take some of the funds that they receive for Oglebay and put it into making a new park for the kids. The paddle boats and all the new updated activities are great, but for kids to play at the park, safely, that should be the next focus. As you can see in my photos, every season is gorgeous, and the walking trails throughout are really nice for exercise. There's a restaurant now located on the grounds, I would say it's a little overpriced, but the food is good. I've stayed in the room several times over the years, and some of them are old and outdated, and some of them are really nice and new. I appreciate both. No matter what, they always keep the hotel portion clean. I would say the hot tub seems to have some issues here and there, that pool and hot tub have been there since before I can remember. There's new restaurants inside of the lodge as well, and they also have ravenous reviews. Christmas time is always beautiful, and the beautiful bloom of the flowers during spring is quite a sight to see. Apparently, the zoo will now have lions and beekeeper, I'm excited to take my baby to visit this spring! If you're thinking about visiting, do not hesitate you will enjoy it as much as my family I have for many decades.

Personally, I do not know how this place stays in business! According to the manager they own another course down the road and this course is the better of the two! Go to Oglebay and pay the difference, you will be happy with your decision!

Tomlinson Run State Park offers breakfast at the campground on Saturdays from 8am-12pm, Memorial Day through Labor Day, and it's truly a hidden gem. The food was absolutely delicious--hot, fresh, and made with care. What's even better? It's all prepared by amazing volunteers, and every dollar goes right back into supporting the park. You can really feel the community pride in every bite. We'll definitely be back again before the season ends. If you're local (or even just passing through), make the stop. It's a great way to kick off a Saturday morning surrounded by nature and good people.

First time visiting this park. It is on the small side compared to other WV State Parks. This means…read morethat it is faster to get to where you are going in the park (no long road in). As you enter the park there is a road to the right that takes you to the campground (BTW, I have rated the campground separately under Campground at Tomlinson Run State Park). As you drive forward you will pass the Park Superintendent's house (on the right). Behind the house is a tiny building that serves at the park HQ. This is where you need to go if you want to stamp your VIPP card. Not obvious and you feel like you trespassing on the residence there but just drive past and then to your right and find the stamp. Along this road on the left you will find a picnic area and shortly after you will come to the edge of a small lake (on the left). On the right is the entrance to a road the winds up and around to the top of a hill (through the woods). There are two picnic areas. The first is off to the left before really heading up the hill. This one was buggy when I was there. At the top of the hill there is a parking lot and picnic areas. Nice spot! The road that goes through the park continues onward and then there is a parking area on the right above the lake. At the lake's edge are paddle boat rentals. If you continue on the road straight on the road you will end up exiting the park.
