Black Wolf Links is a 9-hole public golf course located in Gary, West Virginia, in McDowell County. The course features 2,062 yards with a par of 31, making it an executive-length layout designed for players of all skill levels. Originally built in 1923 and previously known as Gary Country Club, the course was constructed by US Steel for its executives before transitioning to private use in the early 1980s following the decline of the steel industry.

The course is characterized by rolling terrain with tree-lined fairways and water hazards that come into play on several holes. Accuracy is emphasized throughout the layout, with well-maintained grounds and modest clubhouse facilities. The signature hole is #1, a challenging par 4 that requires a precise approach shot to a small green.

Set within an Appalachian mountain village setting, Black Wolf Links offers a welcoming atmosphere combined with strategic design elements. The course celebrates its centennial heritage as a historic golfing destination in West Virginia, continuing to serve the local community and visiting golfers seeking an accessible yet engaging golf experience.
