SOUTH HILLS GOLF COURSE

The rolling Appalachian foothills provide dramatic elevation changes that turn routine approach shots into calculated gambles, with several holes plunging 100 feet from tee to green. Strategic bunkering forces you to work the ball both ways, particularly on the dogleg par-4 14th where anything right of center finds West Virginia hardpan. This public gem rewards local knowledge—the greens run faster than they appear, and the prevailing wind off the Ohio River valley can turn a comfortable 7-iron into an awkward 5-iron in a heartbeat.
