Bel Meadow hosted the West Virginia Open in 1967 and 1971.   Both tournaments were won by Sam Snead, who said of the course: "It's a little tough for the average player, and if I was a local player I would play the front twice.   To heck with losing all those balls on the back nine." 

      The course features 51 sand traps and large, undulating, and elevated bent grass greens.   Water comes into play on 12 of the 18 holes.

      One of the highlights at Bel Meadows, is the spacious banquet and catering facility with seating for up to 300, plus a 3,000 square foot deck, overlooking the golf course.
