West Virginia's golf landscape encompasses 140 named courses and country clubs distributed across 110 cities and 47 counties. This data derives from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal government's official gazetteer of named geographic features. Because GNIS records named locations rather than operational details about businesses, the directory represents a partial and potentially outdated snapshot of the state's golf infrastructure.
Newly established courses and recently renamed facilities may not yet appear in the federal registry. Additionally, operational characteristics—including whether a course operates as public or private, current fee structures, and course layout specifications—fall outside the scope of the GNIS database and therefore are not included in this listing.
The directory serves as a geographic reference tool for locating courses by municipality and county. Users seeking detailed information about a specific facility should consult the course's official website to confirm current hours of operation, green fees, membership requirements, and tee time availability.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the West Virginia directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
