Princeton sits in the heart of Mercer County, in the southern West Virginia coalfields, where the ridgelines and hollows of the Appalachians shape everything — including the land available for golf. A course built here has to work with the terrain rather than against it, and that tends to produce layouts with genuine personality: uneven lies, elevation changes, and holes that reward local knowledge over raw power.
The Princeton Elks Golf Club carries the particular character common to fraternal-organization courses across small-town America — a place built by and for the community, where membership means something beyond just access to fairways. Elks lodges have long anchored civic life in towns like Princeton, and the golf club is typically an extension of that ethos: unpretentious, social, and genuinely welcoming to its members in a way that private country clubs of a grander scale sometimes are not.
Southern West Virginia isn't a destination golf region in the way Myrtle Beach or Pinehurst is, but that's part of the appeal. Golf here is local, unhurried, and rooted in the kind of place where the members actually know each other.
