Oglebay Resort

The Jones Course at Speidel Golf Club opened in 1971 within Oglebay, a sprawling 2,000-acre municipal park and resort in the hills above Wheeling, West Virginia. Designed by the era's most prolific architect, Robert Trent Jones Sr., it is a traditional championship layout that threads narrow, tree-lined fairways across steep, rolling terrain, demanding accuracy and a feel for uneven lies. Multiple tee sets stretch the course to roughly 7,000 yards yet keep it playable from the forward markers near 5,500. The course anchors Speidel's 36 holes, later joined by an Arnold Palmer Signature Course. Over the years the Jones Course built a notable competitive record, hosting an LPGA event in West Virginia for more than a decade along with NCAA Division II and III national championships and the state high school championship. It remains a beloved public-park golf gem.
