CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Golfers can play four West Virginia state park courses with a single 2027 season pass. Annual passes start at $459 for midweek play, and a three-month summer pass costs $399.
“Our championship golf courses showcase some of the finest mountain views and playable layouts in the region,” said Dillard Price, acting chief of West Virginia State Parks. “Offering these 2027 season passes online makes it easier than ever for local players and visiting avid golfers to lock in exceptional value and enjoy unlimited play across our park system all year long.”
The passes provide access to courses at Cacapon Resort State Park near Berkeley Springs, Canaan Valley Resort State Park near Davis, Pipestem Resort State Park near Hinton, and Twin Falls Resort State Park near Pineville.
The courses span the Eastern Panhandle, the Allegheny Highlands, and southern West Virginia, giving golfers the chance to play in different regions without buying a separate season pass at each resort.
Three season passes available
West Virginia State Parks is offering three nontransferable passes for 2027, with play subject to tee-time availability.
The Any-Day Annual Season Pass costs $709 plus tax and includes unlimited play at the four participating courses and two complimentary guest passes. Weekend and holiday tee times are available after 10 a.m.
The Midweek Annual Season Pass costs $459 plus tax and includes unlimited midweek play and two complimentary guest passes. Golfers should confirm the days and tee-time restrictions for each course before purchasing.
The Any-Day Summer Only Season Pass costs $399 plus tax and provides unlimited play from June 1 through Aug. 31.
Annual passes are valid for the calendar year, though golf course operations depend on weather and seasonal conditions.
The four-course pass program is longstanding. State park announcements show that the same three prices were offered in 2025 and 2026, and an official pass document lists identical prices for 2024.
Golf courses designed by prominent architects
The participating courses include designs by Robert Trent Jones Sr., Geoffrey Cornish, and George Cobb, whose work helped shape golf course development in the United States.
Cacapon Resort State Park, near Berkeley Springs, features an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. Established in 1974, the course includes an unusual double green shared by two par-three holes. Its location in the Eastern Panhandle makes it accessible to golfers traveling from the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metropolitan areas.
Canaan Valley Resort State Park, near Davis, features an 18-hole course designed by Geoffrey Cornish. Situated in the high-elevation Canaan Valley, the course includes eight water hazards and 65 sand bunkers. The mountain climate limits the playing season, making advance confirmation of course availability especially important.
Pipestem Resort State Park, near the New River Gorge region, features an 18-hole championship course designed by Cornish. The resort also offers lodging and outdoor recreation, allowing golfers to combine a round with a longer visit to southern West Virginia.
Twin Falls Resort State Park, near Mullens, features an 18-hole course originally designed by Cornish and later expanded by George Cobb. The course occupies a wooded setting in the southern West Virginia coalfields.
A fifth state park golf course, at Stonewall Resort in Lewis County, was designed by Arnold Palmer but is not among the four courses included in the unlimited-play program.
Golf passes available online
The passes may appeal particularly to frequent golfers who live near one of the participating parks, although the ability to play at all four also provides opportunities for golf trips around the state.
The actual value depends on how often a passholder plays and whether additional charges apply. The 2027 announcement does not specify whether passes include golf carts.
Golfers can purchase passes through the West Virginia State Parks golf program or at participating golf course clubhouses.
The golf courses are part of the West Virginia State Parks system and are administered by the W.Va. Division of Natural Resources.
