Skippack Golf Course

Morning tee time with beautiful weather conditions. Some soggy spots on the fairways but they just got over an inch of rain recently so it’s understandable. The greens were great but others failed to fix their ball marks so it took a couple more minutes to fix our line to the hole.

I think that a bridge could be put in at the “island” par 3, without having to endure the climb over at the next bridge. Just a thought.

As for food and drink, the restaurant was closed so we ate at the snack bar. I couldn’t partake because they don’t have any chicken entrees to have (or turkey). All good. I will definitely be coming back.

It was "cart-path only" because we had received two consecutive nights of HEAVY rains. As a result the greens were very receptive to long approach shots. The greens rolled very true. The rough was a little higher than usual due to not being able to run the tractors on the rain-drenched soft soil. All in all, a very nice day at Skippack.

Biggest complaint is that they do NOT have water jugs out on the course and the ONE jug they DO have, behind the Starter Shack, was EMPTY, again!

In fact it is almost ALWAYS EMPTY when I play there.

Come on guys, do better.

Skippack is a fun track. It plays longer than the yardage with uphill par 4’s & 5’s. PLUS… they have the best hot dogs of any area course!

Skippack is a well maintained club offering some challenging holes and greens. Fairways were in great shape, tee boxes were in fair to poor condition. Overall a good value and nice course.

I played the front nine with a friend on a Friday, first time. The pro shop staff was helpful and friendly. The course itself was beautiful and it was a fun round followed by great food in the bar. Played the whole course the next day with another friend. Love the course and the club even more. Finished off with great food outside on the patio. I will play here every opportunity I can. Be warned, though. Number 13 is not for mere mortals. It might be worth checking with the pro on how to play this one.

I had not played Skippack in over 25 years, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it has stood the test of time. While not a long course, it was sufficiently tight in spots as to be moderately challenging. The number 1 handicap hole is especially difficult because of the small landing areas and the length of the approach shot. But s $42 weekday senior rate is great bargain. I was also able to finish in 3 hours with an early morning tee time.

They send out too many twosome’s

And too many Players do not repair their ball marks. I fixed at least Forty of them

Wow! What happened? Took a Golf Buddy to Skippack for his very first time; telling him how nice they keep the course. Huge disappointment!

Tee boxes are horrendous. On several of them you needed a hammer to put in your tee or hunt for an existing hole to re-use. The short par-3 boxes were so chewed up; there was a ton of sandy soil and a few clumps of grass.

The greens did NOT roll true. Tons of unfixed ball marks.

Next to the practice green, directly behind the Starter's Shack, there is a "water station cage" that did not even have a cooler in it. The last time I was here, the cooler was there but totally EMPTY. I asked if they could fill it but after playing the front nine, it was STILL empty. There are NO water stations out on the course.

I will say that the 4 employees that I did interact with were all extremely personable. Also, it looks like they have freshened up the various Flower Beds throughout the course.

Well taken care of, everyone is kind and professional. Only issue is tee times should be another 2 min spread out.

Me and a partner played earlier today at Skippack looking for a quick fun 9 holes. The great part was they offered a rate just to play the front nine at 34 dollars a person! The value for this course was fantastic, while it could have done with slightly quicker putting surfaces, the undulations and green configurations made it just as challenging as greens that may run at a 10-11 on the stimp meter. The grass was plush and the fairways were easily define-able and well maintained. While it was about 100 degrees out, we played the front in around an hour and a half which was fantastic! The staff where friendly and easy to communicate with, and the range and putting areas where just what you need. I feel like I used my whole bag out there, having to shape shots all different ways and get out of my comfort zone in an enjoyable way. I thoroughly enjoyed Skippack will certainly be back soon!

I enjoy the course and would recommend playing it...great staff and warm up range and putting green

Skippack needs a course ranger setting pace of play.

The front nine pace was average for a saturday.

2 hours and 10 minutes to the turn is about average.

The pace of play turned terrible on the back nine. The next 5 holes took us over 2 hours to play.

It took us 2 hours and 20 minutes to finish the next 5 holes.

We quit after finishing the 14th hole.

When we headed to the clubhouse we saw that hole 18 was clear and the group on 17 was still in the 17th fairway.

How does that happen?

We finished 18 and the group on 17 was just getting to the green on 17.

Enjoyed my round. There was a fivesome in front of me that never let me play thru even though I was playing solo. It was a result of two groups merging and no ranger was on the course all day to address it
