Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Crispin over the Speidel Course at Oglebay?

Crispin is your go-to if you're looking for a quicker, more relaxed round or are playing with beginners. It's a well-maintained executive course, perfect for working on your short game without the pressure of a championship layout. We find it's a fantastic warm-up or cool-down option, especially if you're tackling Speidel later.

What's the best time of year to play Crispin Golf Course?

We highly recommend playing Crispin in the spring or fall when the West Virginia weather is mild and the foliage is stunning. Summer can be beautiful too, but you'll want to book early to beat the heat and the larger resort crowds. Weekday mornings are always your best bet for a peaceful round.

Is Crispin Golf Course suitable for beginners or junior golfers?

Absolutely, Crispin is incredibly welcoming for beginners and juniors; it's one of its biggest strengths. The shorter par-67 layout and less intimidating greens make it ideal for building confidence and enjoying the game without feeling overwhelmed. You'll find it's a perfect place to introduce new players to golf.

What can I expect regarding the cost and value at Crispin?

Crispin offers excellent value, especially compared to many resort courses. Green fees are quite reasonable, and you're getting a well-kept course that's genuinely fun to play. We think it's a smart choice if you're staying at Oglebay and want a quality golf experience without breaking the bank.

Are there any specific holes or features that stand out at Crispin?

While it's an executive course, Crispin still offers some memorable holes, particularly those with elevation changes that give you great views of the surrounding Oglebay landscape. You'll encounter some tricky par-3s that demand precision, making it a great test for your iron play. Don't underestimate its charm and challenge.
