Full of spectacular views, Pikewood National is carved out of the mountainous terrain that makes West Virginia so unique. Sitting atop a mesa in a mountain setting just outside of Morgantown, the John Raese and Bob Gwynne collaboration was called, “the most challenging, fair and beautiful course in the world” by Dow Finsterwald, former Ryder Cup captain and PGA champion. Pikewood National is a private course but connect with a member on All Square and maybe you can get a tee time at this masterpiece.
