Eleanor Park

This is a really fun course. It is not very long, but that doesn't mean it's boring. Obviously the basket placements of 10 and 18 are really cool, but there aren't many baskets that aren't tucked in or use trees to make for a harder shot. As someone who grew up in WV and has moved away, this course is a reminder of what makes WV so wonderful. The elevation, the wooded holes, and friendly people at the park make it an enjoyable round. The trials aren't very worn in yet and can be pretty muddy, bu ...

The trials aren't very worn in yet and can be pretty muddy, but it's a new course. It can be hard to navigate, but if in doubt stand at the basket and look for the arrows. It's worth visiting this course just for hole 10.

Eleanor Park is a hidden gem in the state of West Virginia. The course has a wide variety of holes and the course is divided into three distinct sections. The first seven holes are shorter par 3's and partially wooded. The next six holes are short, technical shots through heavily wooded fairways. The final few holes are more open with more distance added. You'll encounter all three of the courses par four holes on the last stretch of the course. Short tees are all concrete and feature s ...

Eleanor Park is a hidden gem in the state of West Virginia. The course has a wide variety of holes and the course is divided into three distinct sections. The first seven holes are shorter par 3's and partially wooded. The next six holes are short, technical shots through heavily wooded fairways. The final few holes are more open with more distance added. You'll encounter all three of the courses par four holes on the last stretch of the course.

Short tees are all concrete and feature signage with accurate distances. Most holes have alternate pin placements. Long tees are in the works and the course will not be considered complete until a second more challenging layout is finished. While the layout is fun and challenging I would not recommend playing this course after significant rainfall. Some slopes can get muddy and slick and fairways on the back side of the park collect standing water.

I volunteer to help maintain this course so if you should see any issues feel free to send me a message so I can help address it as soon as possible.

Gave this course a bump from B+ to A- for the beginner friendly layout. Plenty of challenge for those with some skill, but forgiving areas for beginners. Technically still under construction,but the layout from Sias is great. Park doesn't see an abundance of foot traffic on weekdays either. A lot of mud sometimes so make sure to wear shoes that you don't mind getting a little dirty. Unless theres been a ridiculous amount of rain and cooler weather, then conditions should be agreeable enough ...

Gave this course a bump from B+ to A- for the beginner friendly layout. Plenty of challenge for those with some skill, but forgiving areas for beginners.

A lot of mud sometimes so make sure to wear shoes that you don't mind getting a little dirty. Unless theres been a ridiculous amount of rain and cooler weather, then conditions should be agreeable enough to play in early season. The back 9 offers long throwers more of a challenge. Great wooded layout.
