Black Knight Golf Course

About Black Knight Golf Course

Nestled in the Appalachian foothills just outside Beckley, this public track takes full advantage of West Virginia's natural terrain to create a memorable mountain golf experience. The routing works cleverly with the rolling topography, offering dramatic elevation changes that provide both scenic vistas across the surrounding valleys and strategic challenges that reward course management over pure distance. What sets Black Knight apart from other mountain courses is how playable it remains despite the terrain, the architect avoided the temptation to create overly penal holes, instead crafting risk-reward opportunities that give players genuine choices off the tee. The course maintains solid conditioning year-round, impressive for a public facility in this price range, and the staff clearly takes pride in presentation. At 4.5 stars from over 100 Google reviews, it's earned a strong local reputation that extends beyond just being "a decent mountain course." Walking is permitted, which is essential for experiencing the full character of the layout, though you'll want to be prepared for some climbs. For golfers seeking an authentic Appalachian golf experience without resort pricing, Black Knight delivers excellent value and a round you'll remember.
