Tom's Run at Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort & Conference Center
Rating Snapshot
About
Chestnut Ridge Golf Club in Blairsville offers two 18-hole courses, the original Chestnut Ridge Course that opened in 1964 and Tom's Run, which was added in 1994. Quickly after opening, Tom's Run became a local favorite, earning rank as the sixth best public golf course in Pennsylvania. It is the longer of the two courses, making it a bit more challenging. The layout tumbles across gently rolling hills, weaving in and across laurel-lined canyons. The front nine features steeper inclines and fairways tightly lined with trees. The third and seventh holes in particular will require some careful maneuvering. The back nine opens up into more links-style holes with wider fairways that are more forgiving. Due to its challenging-but-playable character, Tom's Run has hosted several events over the years including the Pittsburgh Open and the Tri-State PGA Championship.

great as always
course is near pristine, its not like TOMS RUN the sister course there but nearly as good. the blues are only 6250 and most of that is on a couple holes but still a nice playable course. they have taken a lot of trees out, which has opened up the play and made it much easier to see and play....its the new wave, and the greens have benefited greatly from that.
decent greens.... too many barren spots along fairway..... as much weeds as grass off the fairways
anticipated playing the course but was disappointed by the poor condition of the course. will not be playing it unless conditions improve drastically.
This is a must play course.
Tom's Run is a great course to play, especially at the golfnow hot tee time price. Course is in immaculate condition.
Bang for your buck?
Course could be a little pricey. Very easy to lose your ball in the first cut and was explained to me by a ranger that this is common. Fairways and greens in really good shape this time of year. Make sure you have your covers on. Cart paths are a mess. For a resort this is not acceptable for the price. Glad we had good weather. Guess I would recommend although was told by locals that cheaper rounds on other courses in the area abound.
Great course at foothills of Laurel Highlands
This course is always a treat to play. In Western, PA, it should be in anyone's top 10 courses to play. It's an interesting layout, starting out with some very tight holes along the valley, that require target golf. Beginning with #6, the course opens up, while it gets much longer. From the tips, this is one of the tougher courses in PA. Greens, fairways and tees are always in excelelnt condition, although they usually play a little soft; something that contributes to the courses length. Holes 10 & 11 provide a beautiful view back into the mountain range behind. Play here when the leaves are changing, and you will get a real treat for the eyes. The day we played, conditioning was slightly below the typical Tom's Run standard, but this course is worth playing if you get the chance.
Good time but don't like the changes
The course was in good shape but I enjoyed playing there much more before they cut down all of the trees. It took away some of the character and beauty of the course.
Great
Chestnut Ridge and Toms' run are beautiful courses, and a real value.
First class
Upon arriving was greeted by bag/cart handler. Very nice and not pushy. Informed me where clubhouse was. Staff inside were super friendly. Course was in great shape, finished round in 4 hours. For the quality of this course, the price can't be beat. Can't wait to try their other course Tom's Run.
Awesome Course!
Tom's Run is outstanding! Had an awesome time playing here! Course is very challenging and a great test of skill! The greens were also fabulous!
Tom's Run at Chestnut Ridge. (Better of the two)
Tom's Run Is a great course. Nice layout with many different types of holes with varying lengths that require different shot shapes. The course is maintained well above average. There were issues with gnats on holes 2-5; because they are tucked down in a hollow amongst trees and a creek I suppose. I played in 3 hours on an August Sunday morning. If they could guarantee me this, I would play here every weekend!
This course was in great condition
This is the 3rd time I've played the course and it is always in great condition. I would recommend it to anyone in the area.
