Frequently Asked Questions
How challenging is the Stonehaven Course for a mid-handicapper?
Stonehaven is a true test, especially with its dramatic elevation changes and tight fairways carved through the West Virginia mountains. You'll need to manage your club selection carefully, particularly on holes like the par-3 17th where accuracy is paramount to avoid the deep ravines.
When is the best time of year to experience Stonehaven's unique mountain layout?
We highly recommend visiting in the fall, typically late September through October, when the surrounding Appalachian foliage explodes with color. Not only are the views breathtaking, but the cooler temperatures make for a more comfortable round as you navigate the course's significant elevation shifts.
What's the most memorable hole at Stonehaven, and what should I watch out for?
The par-5 18th hole is a fantastic finisher, demanding a precise tee shot over a ravine to a landing area that sets up a dramatic approach to a green guarded by water. It's a true risk-reward hole that can make or break your scorecard, so play smart and enjoy the view back towards the clubhouse.
Are there any specific course management tips for navigating Stonehaven's tricky terrain?
Absolutely, focus on hitting fairways off the tee, as the rough can be punishing and errant shots often find steep slopes or wooded areas. We also suggest taking an extra club on uphill approaches and trusting your yardage on downhill shots, as the elevation changes significantly impact ball flight.
Beyond the golf, what makes a stay and play at Glade Springs Stonehaven worth it?
The resort experience truly elevates your visit, offering excellent dining options and comfortable accommodations that complement a challenging day on the links. After your round, you'll appreciate the chance to relax at the resort's amenities, making it a complete golf getaway rather than just a round of golf.
