Course was nice for the time of year.

Need to put a little more attention on the bunkers and drainage thereof. It would be nice to hit out of sand instead of dirt, mud, or water. It should be a number one priority for the up and coming season, I know of other people around the area that feel the same way.

Very enjoyable outing on a course in great condition

My round was scheduled for first thing in the morning. I was there before the pro shop opened and when the attendant arrived he was friendly, quickly learned my name and called me by name several times. He was very accommodating in getting me teamed up with some of the regulars. He even took the time to match me with players that I would enjoy playing with.

The course was in great shape. The greens were lightening fast and since we were the second group out we were able to play at a good pace and finish up in just over three hours.

Very challenging course

Without a yardage book or playing with a regular this course
Is a real challenge. This was our first time and we managed
To find a lot of trouble. We now have some idea as to where
to place the ball. We will do better on our next round.
Very enjoyable day.

Need a Ranger

The pace was very slow due to a foursome in front of us. Two couples playing and it appeared the girls were learning on the course. We skipped the 10th hole to get ahead of them. After we played #18 we played 10. We were off 10 and this slow group was only teeing off on 16. They slowed down play for many golfers. Don't say I dislike women on the ourselves. My foursome was my wife and two female friends.

Great recent improvements

Haven't played this course in a couple years since the greens died and the course fell off the charts. Course has improved tremendously and the greens were in great shape. Very few bald spots through fairways/greens and overall quality was great. Great course for a great value.

Gem of a course. Tucked away in a great area of Pennsylvania.

Well maintained course with very playable conditions. Greens are true and pin positions are fair. Clubhouse and Pro Shop were adequately stocked with anything needed for an enjoyable round.

Nice course with some tricky holes

This course probably should have been a 3.5 / 5, but I'll round up since there are no half-star ratings.

Overall, the course was in good shape, minus the sand traps. That said, there had been some rain the night before, so the traps being washed out is somewhat understandable.

This is a friendly course for golfers of all levels. There are quite a few holes that do not require drivers off the tee. I wouldn't say that there are any "stand-out" holes, but it is nonetheless worth playing for $25 or so.

Ok local course, but not worth a long drive!

Found this on golfnow had hesitations due to it always being listed at a fair price on weekends. Many things wrong, no drinking water on course at all, lacking proper signage for just about everything. Fairways need repairing, a few badly design holes. Ok for local playing however don't let the price fool you into making a long drive.

Nice layout with good fairways and fast greens

This is a great value course with an interesting layout. There's lots of water and waste bunkers to avoid. It was difficult finding the balls in the rough, but then we shouldn't be hitting our balls in there should we? My only real complaint is the concrete bunkers. They have not refurbished the sand in years. Great fairways and fast greens.

.

We loved the course. Nice open fairways. Great course conditions. It was just a great relaxing course to play golf. My sons and their buddy also enjoyed the course. It was challenging with the Par 5's but it also allows you the opportunity to work on your short game. I will most definitely play here again.
