Cacapon Resort State Park’s golf course (near Berkeley Springs) is a marquee public option in West Virginia, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and built to feel like a real destination round. The layout is long and varied, with a strong mix of holes that ask for both power and precision—especially on approach shots into well-protected greens. A signature feature golfers remember is the shared double green used by a pair of par-3 holes, which adds character and a bit of old-school novelty. Being part of a state park resort, it’s easy to pair golf with cabins, hiking, and the broader Eastern Panhandle getaway vibe. If you want a “big course” feel with resort-service convenience and a notable architect name attached, Cacapon is one of the best fits in the state.
