No. 5 at Berry Hills Tops West Virginia Golf Holes
An Associated Press survey ranks No. 5 at Berry Hills Country Club as West Virginia’s best hole, edging holes at Pete Dye Golf Club and The Greenbrier. The par 4 measures 435 yards from forward tees and 455 from back tees, with a ravine, bunkers, and a narrowing fairway that slopes right. Berry Hills member Bill Sharpe praises the hole, while pro shop manager John Kenney notes his failed birdie history but occasional birdies and eagles.
