Course Report
The Cobb Course is the only golf course ever designed by George Cobb to bear his name.
About
The Cobb Course at Glade Springs Resort is a George Cobb design known for 51 bunkers, 8 lakes, and over 200 feet of elevation change. Ranked among the top 5 in West Virginia by Golf Digest, it offers a challenging yet enjoyable layout for players of all levels and spectacular mountain scenery.
Caddie Tip
The course’s subtle fairway slopes and well-placed bunkers can easily penalize aggressive shots. Play conservatively off the tee on tight holes. For the finishing stretch starting at 16, respect water carries and favor safe layups where unsure. Approach shots often play uphill; take extra club accordingly.
The Main Challenge
Navigating the elevation changes and carrying water hazards, especially on the closing holes, poses the biggest challenge. The finishing stretch—starting at 16—demands accuracy, course management, and composure to avoid the deep bunkers and water carries that can spoil a good score late in the round.
The Good
Golfers rave about the course’s scenic mountain vistas and dramatic elevation changes, creating a picturesque and memorable round. The variety of holes, especially the outstanding finishing stretch from 16–18, is consistently praised for giving players a memorable and rewarding challenge.
The Not So Good
Golfers sometimes note that the fairways can get soft after rainfall due to the mountain climate, and wish for faster recovery or expanded cart path usage during wet stretches. Pace of play can slow on busy days and around the prominent finishing holes.
Signature Hole:
#
16
The 16th hole, a 420-yard par 4, begins the remarkable finishing stretch, forcing golfers to carry water three different times. This hole challenges both strategy and execution with its demanding tee shot and approaches, making it memorable and regularly cited as the course’s standout.
