Fun Course, Beautiful Area 2+ years drive by

Pros:
Clean area! Beautiful State Park Forest. Really Nice Hike.
#6 is a really great visual for a downhill throw. Tight off the tee, and opens up past the tree lines. Beautiful!
#10 and 11 play along a creek. Pretty area with running water to hear while putting.
Mostly short throws. Not much time needed to play, you'll finish quick.
Rough doesnt punish you (May 2021), as long as the front 9 is kept up well.
**Shout out to those who laid teepads! It's great to have level tee pads on a uphill/downhill course. Many courses will pour them slanted.THANK YOU!
Great for new players. To develop Hyzer and Anhyzers.

Cons:
Mostly short. Not much technicality to challenge you.
Back 9 bring more challenges with the tight fairways and lines. Uphill throws will challenge you too.
Poison Ivy near the pines...if you're like me, avoid it at all costs.
A little far to get to, since it's at the end of the park road. (Not bad really)

Other Thoughts:
My Cons are really not complaints at all. There really isn't much wrong with this course other than it being small/not challenging to experienced players. Just get out and enjoy it!
I can definitely see a second, more experienced course being placed here. If they decide to do that, this would be a destination to travel to more often.

Pros:
18 concrete tees with tee signs and Discatcher baskets. Nice use of the elevation and open and wooded space the course lies on to provide fun variety. Two loops of nine holes to parking lot. Easy to find and navigate.
Cons:
Course is fairly short with only one set of tees. Compact layout could cause some interference between holes. Summer may be rough finding discs off fairway with tall grass on the front 9.
Other Thoughts:
I had more fun than I expected playing at Greenbrier State Forest. I nearly crapped my pants on hole 17 when I thought a bear was coming after me, I could feel the earth moving and hear a rumbling, turned out to be a 150' pine tree falling behind me. Hole 6 and 9 were my favorites, both longer downhill shots with sweet views.
The course is well suited for beginners to intermediate players while more advanced players will have some fun ace running every hole and working on their short game. Some holes can also be safaried. Parking lot is open until 10pm, so you could play some glow.

Pros:
Grieenbrier DGC is an above average mountain course with some good variety and fantastic scenery.
I didn't really know what to expect coming here as a short stop on a road trip to DC from Chicago, but I was pleasantly surprised. The location of the course offers some great seclusion and impressive views of the nearby mountains.
The course incorporates a lot of elevation and more and more tree cover as you move into the back 9. It's a challenging play throughout, but most skill levels should be able to score well assuming you can drive accurately in the 250' range.
The baskets were all in good condition, there's a practice basket and a large sign with the layout and score cards right off the main road.

Cons:
I played here in February when there was still snow on the ground so some of the tee boxes were hard to find. Signs help with that, BUT the tee boxes were all natural and throwing from sloped snowy tee boxes, especially on some of the downhill shots, was straight up dangerous.
The hill that's used for most of the elevation change on the front 9 is pretty steep. Definitely wear boots if there's snow or wet conditions.

Other Thoughts:
This course is right off the interstate and definitely worth the stop if you're driving through WV. The elevation and scenery make this course a really enjoyable place to play a round. I didn't get to do a lot of exploring, but the park is pretty large and there are plenty of places to explore beyond the DG course.
The park attendant gave us some pretty weak directions that confused the hell out of us, but it's pretty simple to find... just drive straight down the road from the park entrance, until you see it on your left. The course signage is impossible to miss.

You need every type of throw during a round.

Beautiful setting, the tee at #5 looking down on the front 9 is great.
Quiet and no electric/telephone lines in view.
