Directions:
I-70 to Rte. 522 south to Berkeley Springs, right on Rte. 9 west 7.8 miles, right on Detour Rd. 6.6 miles, right at T intersection. 1 mile, right at disc on tree (Gaither). 1.2 miles, barn on right.
There are more polished courses, to be sure, but the highlight of the year is when my friends and I make our annual trek to the two side-by-side courses at Paw Paw, WV.
From a technical standpoint these courses, with holes that are long, short, up hill, down hill, narrow, over water, and, in some cases, with barely discernable fairways, demand everything you've got as a player.
Just to walk the two courses in a day would be tiring for us (office workers, all). To play them both is exhausting...but oh, so satisfying.
I highly recommend the experience.
