Berry Hills sits approximately eight miles southwest of downtown Charleston in a scenic elevated setting. Members reach the clubhouse after a roughly one-mile ascent along Berry Hills Drive.

The location combines mountain scenery and privacy with convenient access to Charleston’s metropolitan services.

Berry Hills Country Club Golf Course

Berry Hills features a private 18-hole parkland course designed by noted architect William F. Gordon. Opened in 1952, the traditional layout plays approximately 6,345 yards from today’s blue tees. The blue tees carry a 71.3 course rating and challenging 137 slope under the club’s current figures. The course plays to par 70, requiring accuracy across its tree-lined, strategically demanding layout. Published sources have identified Bermuda turf, while the club emphasizes consistently excellent course conditioning. Exact current bunker and water-hole totals are not officially published by Berry Hills.

Deep bunkers, mature trees, elevation changes, tight landing areas, and demanding green complexes provide much of the course’s defense. The fourth is the number-one handicap hole, a challenging par five requiring strategic positioning from tee through green. The closing eighteenth is a lengthy par three that provides an unusual and demanding finish. Berry Hills has hosted the West Virginia Open and West Virginia State Four-Ball. The Charleston Open and West Virginia Junior Amateur have also been contested at the club. Its combination of challenging terrain and strong conditioning has established Berry Hills among Charleston’s notable private courses.
