Orchard Hills Golf & Country Club

Orchard Hills Golf & Country Club sits in the rolling terrain of Barboursville, West Virginia, a small community in the western part of the state near Huntington. The course was designed by Tom Boster and Robert Estler, architects who have worked on several layouts in the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian regions. The design takes advantage of the natural topography characteristic of this part of West Virginia, where elevation changes and wooded corridors shape the playing experience. The routing moves through a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with fairways that often require careful placement given the undulating ground. Water features and strategically positioned bunkers add definition to several holes, while the greens typically present modest but meaningful contours. The course serves as the centerpiece of a residential community, with homes visible along portions of the property, though the layout maintains distinct playing corridors throughout. Orchard Hills functions as a private country club serving the Barboursville area and the greater Huntington region. The facility includes traditional club amenities beyond golf, providing a social and recreational hub for members. The course offers a solid test for players familiar with the challenges of Appalachian golf—managing elevation, reading slopes, and adapting to the climate and growing conditions of the Ohio River valley region.
