About Canaan Valley Resort State Park
This is the state park's resort course, a Geoffrey Cornish design built in 1972, a year after Canaan Valley Resort State Park was set up. It sits in the highest valley east of the Mississippi, so expect a short season: the resort runs it from April through early November, open daily when the weather allows.
It's a full-size par 72, 6,984 yards from the blues (71.4 rating, 125 slope), with four more sets of tees down to 4,689 yards. The resort counts 65 sand bunkers and eight water hazards. The map survey has water on eight holes, six of them carries, and all six doglegs bend left, so a draw fits the routing. Course character from OpenStreetMap contributors' survey data.
Around the course you get a driving range, a putting green and a practice bunker, plus a clubhouse with food, drinks and lockers. It's on the West Virginia State Parks golf season pass.
It's one of 10 courses Yoink watches in the Deep Creek, Snowshoe & the WV Highlands area, and the closest alternative is Fisher Mountain Golf Club, about 24 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
