Bridge Haven Golf Course on the Gorge

About Bridge Haven Golf Course on the Gorge

Perched dramatically along the rim of the New River Gorge, this public track delivers one of West Virginia's most spectacular golf experiences without the pretension or price tag you'd expect. The routing takes full advantage of the rugged terrain, with several holes playing directly along the gorge's edge where errant shots disappear into the abyss below. What sets this course apart isn't just the jaw-dropping scenery, though watching the morning mist rise from the river 900 feet below while you line up your approach shot is unforgettable. But how seamlessly the layout incorporates the natural elevation changes and rock outcroppings into strategic golf holes. The conditioning punches well above its weight class for a mountain public course, and the 4.5-star rating from players tells you everything about the value proposition here. Walking is not only allowed but recommended if you're up for the workout, as it's the best way to fully appreciate both the dramatic topography and the thoughtful hole-to-hole transitions. This isn't a course you play for a quick round. It's a destination where the combination of challenging golf and world-class views makes every shot memorable, whether you're striking it pure or watching your ball sail into the New River Gorge.
