Woodhaven Course
Glade Springs Resort



About this course
Woodhaven is a George Cobb design that opened in 1973 as part of the Glade Springs Resort in the Appalachian highlands of southern West Virginia. Cobb, a prolific mid-century architect known for accessible resort courses throughout the Southeast, routed Woodhaven across rolling, wooded terrain characteristic of the region. The course takes its name from the dense hardwood forests that frame many holes and define the playing corridors. The layout moves through elevation changes typical of West Virginia's mountainous landscape, with holes that climb and descend through natural contours. Cobb's design philosophy emphasized playability for resort guests while incorporating the site's natural features—creeks, ridgelines, and mature trees—into the strategic framework. The routing offers variety in hole direction and length, with several holes playing across or along the property's topographic grain. Glade Springs operates as a year-round resort destination, and Woodhaven serves as one of its golf offerings alongside other courses added in later decades. The property caters to groups, corporate outings, and leisure travelers drawn to the Appalachian setting. The course provides a traditional tree-lined experience reflective of Cobb's era and approach, with conditioning and amenities suited to the resort's broader hospitality mission.

Getting there
The journey to Glade Springs Resort begins at Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia (CRW), roughly ninety minutes to the northwest, a drive that carries you from the Kanawha Valley into the rolling terrain of southern West Virginia's interior. The route winds through a landscape of dense hardwood forests and winding mountain roads, the urban sprawl gradually yielding to the quieter rhythms of Appalachian countryside. As you approach Daniels, the resort emerges from the forested hillsides with an understated elegance - a private sanctuary where the Bluefield-Princeton area's natural topography frames an arrival that feels both remote and remarkably accessible, offering the rare combination of seclusion and convenience that defines the region's most discerning destination.
