Great track!

Not long, but definitely a challenging, shot makers course. Small greens will require some accuracy to stick. Can’t wait to play here again!

Women

They had a women's tournament that started at 9am. They started us on the back 9 and did not give a lot a sufficient amount of time to complete. We were bounced around after the 1st 8 holes and were not allowed to complete all 18 holes. They should not allow tee off times before the women because they were deliberately playing slow to hold up the men.

Early season golf

Despite the fact that it was windy the course is in good shape, considering that it was the end of March in Pennsylvania. The greens are in winter condition yet, so they were slower than usual. It was a good first outing of golf.We enjoy playing this course several times during the year.
