Great course

The course is in great shape, well kept and maintained. The starter was a pleasure to speak with before we teed off, he even had a couple good jokes! Definitely will play here again!

If very wet conditions…:

This course is a decent course to play. I have played it multiple times. This course has a lot of low lying areas, and if it rains a lot you may end up missing out on playing holes 5-9, because they close that section of the course. Otherwise the course is pretty good to play.

Must play

My son and I played the Bucknell course on 5/18 and immediately were impressed by both the staff as well as the course. Despite living only an hour away, it was our first visit, but will not be our last. I hope to make a visit to the course a regular thing. Special thanks to Gene, who provided us with insightful course knowledge that certainly saved us several strokes.

Course conditions were wet and it was cart path only. As someone with two artificial knees, it provided a different challenge...hitting toward the path rather than playing the hole as one normally would.

Beautiful layout all around.
