NBC Sports Next and GolfNow to offer online tee time booking at WV State Parks

CHARLESTON, WV — Gov. Jim Justice announced Friday that golfers are now able to book tee times at West Virginia state park golf courses thanks to a new partnership with NBC Sports Next and GolfNow.

State Park golf courses participating in this exciting new partnership include Cacapon Resort State Park’s 18-hole Robert Trent Jones course in Berkeley Springs, Canaan Valley Resort State Park’s 18-hole Geoffrey Cornish course in Davis, Pipestem Resort State Park’s 18-hole Geoffrey Cornish course near Princeton and Twin Falls Resort State Park’s 18-hole Geoffrey Cornish designed course in Mullens.

As a lifelong golfer myself, I am incredibly excited to announce this partnership with GolfNow,” Gov. Justice said. “Our state parks are one of our state’s most valued treasures and I’m excited that we now have a new way to attract golfers from around the country to come and experience all of the beauty and goodness our great state has to offer. I want to thank our Department of Tourism and DNR for working hard everyday to continue making our State Parks the best they can be.”

As part of the partnership between State Parks and GolfNow, golfers will now be able to directly book tee times at Cacapon, Canaan Valley, Pipestem and Twin Falls through the GolfNow website and app.

“Thanks to the leadership and support of Gov. Justice and forward-thinking partnerships like this, our state parks have dramatically improved to enhance the experience of the more than 8 million people who visit each year,” Brett McMillion, director of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, which manages the state parks system, said.
