I've enjoyed both these places especially around Fall. susan Date: Tue, 20 Jun 89 09:18:22 EDT From: poepping@SEI.CMU.EDU To: bdw@NATASHA.MACH.CS.CMU.EDU Subject: Golf Course/Resort Blake, I have not been to them but... Seven Springs, Laurel Valley, Ligonier area has several very nice courses and is a resort area. Need to do some calling to find out exacts. Lakeview Resort in Morgantown WVa has a very good reputation, both for its golf course and amenities. Oglebay, Wheeling WVa is a park/recreation area with several golf courses. The Speidel course is among the top 50 public courses in the US. I know there are accomodations, but I've never actually checked them out (they are not *actually at* the golf course). I'd appreciate a copy of whatever you can find out. I'll see if I can find more if you like (this off the top of my head). mark poepping poepping@sei.cmu.edu Date: Tue, 20 Jun 1989 11:25-EDT From: David.Detlefs@F.GP.CS.CMU.EDU To: Blake.Ward@NATASHA.MACH.CS.CMU.EDU Subject: Re: Looking for Golf Course/Resort Blake -- I can make two recommendations: 1) If your friends are *really* rich, they could go to The Greenbriar, deep in West Virginia. This is a five-star resort, with at least two world-class courses. It has hosted Ryder's cup matches. I was fortunate enough to be able to play one because my wife's company held a business function there. This place is really southern and really posh: all the porters are black (which made me uncomfortable) and you're not supposed to be in the main lobby without "appropriate attire." 2) Somewhat more reasonably: in less deep West Virginia, Oglebay. This is a state park resort just outside of Charleston. There are two courses, Crispin and Speidel. One of these (I can't remember which) is on the level of a very good public course; that's the one I played. When I played, I was in a foursome with 3 guys who had driven there from Michigan, so they thought it was pretty good. The other course is world-class, designed by Robert Trent Jones. (Your golfing friends will know who that is.) I didn't get to play it. Lodging is very reasonable and pleasant, food is good. A great time, I highly recomment it. The lucky dogs.

Although probably further than you wanted, Hilton Head, South Carolina is the golfer's mecca. --Dan Date: Mon, 26 Jun 89 09:49:36 -0400 (EDT) From: Tim Sager To: Blake.Ward@natasha.mach.cs.cmu.edu Subject: Re: Looking for Golf Course/Resort I heard Lakeview resort is real nice. I've never been there but I've heard lots of nice things about it. It's located somewhere near Morgantown, WV. Good Luck!! Tim
