About this course

Fisher Mountain Golf Club & Resort sits in the Allegheny Highlands of eastern West Virginia near Franklin, a region characterized by rolling forested terrain and elevation changes typical of the Appalachian uplands. Designed by Bill Ward, the course takes advantage of the natural topography, incorporating slopes and wooded corridors into a layout that reflects the mountain golf tradition of the Mid-Atlantic. The setting provides a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with fairways that often play uphill or downhill and greens positioned to emphasize the land's natural contours. The course serves as the centerpiece of a resort property, offering golfers a destination experience in a relatively remote part of West Virginia. The region's elevation and climate create seasonal variation in playing conditions, with cooler temperatures and changing foliage adding character throughout the year. Fisher Mountain appeals to golfers seeking a mountain course experience away from more heavily trafficked resort areas, combining golf with the quiet and forested landscape of the Alleghenies. As a resort facility, the club provides accommodations and dining alongside the golf course, catering to visitors exploring the recreational opportunities of the Potomac Highlands. The course layout and conditioning reflect the challenges of maintaining mountain golf in a climate with significant seasonal shifts, and the property emphasizes accessibility for travelers looking to combine golf with the natural beauty of rural West Virginia.

Getting there

Fisher Mountain Golf Club & Resort is most readily accessed via Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia (CRK), situated approximately 60 miles northwest and roughly ninety minutes by car through the rolling Appalachian terrain that defines this corner of the state. The drive itself becomes a gradual immersion into the mountain landscape - departing the interstate for state routes that wind through dense forest and pastoral valleys, the elevation steadily climbing as you approach Franklin. For those arriving by private aircraft, Yeager also accommodates general aviation, though the region's smaller strips offer an intimate alternative for those seeking a more discreet entrance. The final miles unfold along quieter country roads that deliver you to the club's entrance, where the surrounding ridgelines and carefully preserved mountain vistas announce your arrival at one of West Virginia's most secluded golf destinations.
