Bel Meadow Golf Club in Mount Clare is one of those North-Central WV courses that locals talk about with a little extra respect. It’s set in scenic Appalachian terrain, so you’ll see elevation changes and natural framing that make many holes feel visually distinct. The course has a “public track with a championship attitude” feel—playable for a wide range of golfers, but it can bite when you miss to the wrong side. Shot placement matters because uneven lies and strategic greens can turn a simple par into a scramble quickly. It’s also a great course for players who enjoy a traditional test where you earn good scores through solid ball striking and smart decisions rather than relying on gimmicks.
