Roane County Country Club
About this course
Roane County Country Club sits in Spencer, West Virginia, in the rolling terrain of the central Appalachian region. The course was designed by Benny Varda, a golf architect with roots in regional course development. The layout reflects the topography typical of West Virginia's landscape—wooded and undulating—with play routed through native vegetation and the natural contours of the site. The course serves the Spencer community and surrounding Roane County as a private club facility. Like many regional courses of its era and setting, it combines playability for members of varying skill levels with enough strategic interest to reward thoughtful shot-making. The design likely incorporates the elevation changes and tree-lined corridors characteristic of Appalachian courses, where water features and rough ground often define hazards and landing areas. Roane County Country Club functions primarily as a members' club and local venue for club tournaments and community golf events. The course remains a fixture of recreational golf in the region, offering members and their guests a home course experience rooted in the landscape and culture of central West Virginia.

From Charleston, the drive winds through the Appalachian landscape along US Route 60, a corridor that transitions from urban periphery into the quieter, forested terrain of Roane County, where the club sits nestled near Spencer in a setting defined by native hardwoods and the gentle contours of the region's coal-country heritage.
