Bucknell Golf Course

Really nice course. Great layout and challenging. Pace of play was a little slow due to early morning frost delay but overall not too bad. Well manicured fairways and greens. Staff very friendly and nice clean facilities.

Lovely course

Only the 2nd time I have played here. The course is in excellent shape. My wife and I played later afternoon on a Friday. Perfect weather. Very few people one the course at 2:30 on a Friday. I will definitely play here again. Bar/restaurant closed at 5:00 on a Friday, though.

Great golf outing

Despite the fact that there was quite a bit of rain prior to our golf outing. The weather was perfect the day we played. We had to stay on the cart path, but otherwise it was a great day of golf.

Top notch

Great experience all around. From shop attendant, starter, and bartender they all did a fantastic job making us feel welcomed. Course was in great shape. Only issue may be to add a little more sand to the bunkers. Fun layout. Par 70. Great pace of play. Will be back.

Enjoyable Round

Wonderful day with wonderful conditions. Course is gettable if you’re playing well. It can be challenging is you stray a bit. A testament to the course layout. Plenty of different looks with respect to hole design. Worth the drive.
