Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"

Snowshoe Mountain Resort in West Virginia hosts one of the most challenging golf courses for amateur players — The Raven. It's a Gary Player-designed course, and one heckuva golf experience.

There's trouble right, left, even down the center of the fairway. Walking the course is not an option since it's carved into the spine of the Allegheny Mountains, but the spectacular views are the same whether on foot or in a golf cart. Summer golf getaways start at $145 per person (that includes lodging).
