Located near Bridgeport, West Virginia, this 250-acre golf
course features a coal mine theme and is constructed on reclaimed mine land. In
addition to its outstanding reclamation, it is a unique course reflecting a true
integration of the game and the environment. The tee markers are from the coal
railroad.

The Pete Dye Golf Club is ranked as one of the greatest golf courses
ever. It features remnants
of coal mining activity, including exposed, strip mined high walls, a
rotary car tipple, coal laden mine cars, a cart path through a
once-active mine, and waterfalls that originate from deep mining
activity of days gone by. After
finishing Hole No. 6, golfers take a trip through a 140-foot underground
coal mine to Hole No. 7’s tee box.
Hole No. 10 has coal filled hopper cars down the left side of its
fairway. |

areas, and private teaching areas.
