Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play The Riverside Club of West Virginia?

We've found spring and fall offer the most spectacular conditions here, with vibrant foliage in autumn and lush greens in spring. Summers can be quite hot and humid, so an early morning tee time is your best bet if you're visiting during July or August.

What kind of challenge does The Riverside Club present, and what's its signature feature?

You'll face a fantastic mix of elevation changes and strategic river hazards, especially on the back nine where the course hugs the water. The par-3 14th, with its dramatic downhill shot over a tributary, is definitely the hole everyone talks about - it demands precision and a steady nerve.

Is The Riverside Club a good value, and do I need to book far in advance?

Absolutely, we consider it one of West Virginia's best values for the quality of golf you get, offering a premium experience without the premium price tag. While it's not impossible to walk on during off-peak weekdays, we strongly recommend booking your tee time at least a few weeks out, especially for weekend play.

What's one piece of practical advice you'd give someone playing The Riverside Club for the first time?

Pay close attention to your yardage book for elevation changes; a club you'd normally hit 150 yards might play significantly shorter or longer here. Trust your gut on those downhill approaches, but don't forget the wind coming off the river can be a factor.

Beyond the course, what's the vibe at The Riverside Club's clubhouse or 19th hole?

The clubhouse has a wonderfully relaxed, welcoming atmosphere - it's not overly fancy, but it's comfortable and friendly, perfect for unwinding. Grab a local craft beer and a burger on the patio overlooking the 18th green; it's the ideal way to cap off your round.
