Do Not Recall (cart not included), played on Saturday, August 2007 at noon
I've always loved playing this course, and I look forward to it every year during our church Family Retreat. It's a great "getaway day" for the guys, and a time of wonderful bonding. The course is always in good shape, despite some of the drought conditions we've had in WV during recent years, and is an excellent example of Geoffrey Cornish's hanidwork. The scenery is beautiful, and the deer that inhabit the course are spectacular. The only drawback, as is the case on many courses, are the geese (I refer to them as "the cows of the air")that leave their droppings everywhere. Othere than that, Pipestem is a wonderful place to spend a few hours in pursuit of that elusive "best round ever."
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
