PRINCETON ELKS LODGE 1459

The mountain terrain of southern West Virginia creates natural elevation changes that most architects would kill for, and this municipal track maximizes every foot of vertical drop across its rolling 18 holes. The front nine climbs steadily through hardwood forests before the back nine plunges dramatically toward the valley floor, offering breathtaking vistas that make you forget you're paying public rates. What sets this layout apart is how the routing uses the Appalachian topography to create genuinely heroic shots without resorting to artificial hazards or gimmicky design.
