Nice course
The course was in great shape, really enjoyed the fairways and greens, fairly fast greens with moderate slopes. Would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting a challenging day of golf.
OK Golf
Any golf course with lighted holes should raise alarm bells.
This course isn't going on anyone's must play list and isn't going to make you long to return. While in decent condition this summer thanks to all of the rain this course is flat for Western PA and without much of a challenge for a single digit candicap. The greens are flat and average speed, the bunkers in decent repair, the fairways reasonably cut.
The GPS system in the carts does have too many speed and routing controls that they are a pain to use.
All in all $25 is the high end for this course.
Fort Cherry is a nice course!
I enjoy playing this course many times per season. It is a moderately challenging layout. This year the conditions are absolutely excellent, fairways, 1st cut is nice and short (no looking straight down to find your ball in heavy grass). Greens are perfect, nice speed, no bumps. Staff is very friendly. The GPS carts take some getting used to as you cannot approach too close to the greens with them, you will have to reverse and back away at times. You get used to that after several rounds and understandably it is keeping the course in good shape. Highly recommended!
Better courses for the money
By my estimation, Ft Cherry is overpriced. Relatively slow play and close fairways caused several close calls with other golfers playing other holes. Very low on my 'replay' list.
Fort Cherry
I had a great experience and was very pleased with the course layout and the terrific conditions of the course. Great staff - recommend this course.
Fast greens and slow carts.
I enjoyed the layout enough, friendly staff, and the conditions were just okay. But there were two things that will prevent me from coming back. One - greens were too fast for an average hacker like me and didn't hold approach shots very well either. Two - What is with the GPS system in the carts? Cart slows down automatically around greens (fair enough), but completely shuts down if you get too close to a green or sometimes; seemingly random places. Very inconvenient sometimes and downright aggravating others. Call me petty, but the course isn't nice enough to justify that cart system, and I wouldn't go out of my way to play here again because of it.
Great greens
Visitor to PA and First time played, staff were excellent and friendly.
Greens and fairways were in great conditions.
The layout is very hilly with what I call runway golf as in multiple runways at an airport where you see planes/golfers all around you.
Not a bad thing but at times a few close calls with near misses when an errand ball was struck.
Overall an enjoyable day and great value for the price.
Very average
Fairway wasn't cut. Double booked our tee time. Slick greens. They allowed a 5 some in front which had 2 some finishing a round in 4 1/2 hours. The carts do not allow you to travel far from the cart paths. I won't return to this course.
Can't beat Fort Cherry
Over the 4 years I've lived in Pittsburgh, I've played Fort Cherry the most. Course was in excellent condition overall, the greens were PGA slick on this date (a first time for this in my experience), but still true as always. If you are considering Fort Cherry and have never played, book your round and go, you will not be disappointed.
Solid course
I have been playing fort cherry since I was in high school. Its typically always in good shape. I have to say, the greens are some of the best in the area. They are in perfect shape especially for this time of year. Some of the tee boxes are a little close together but it doesn't bother me at all. Would recommend especially if you can get a hot deal rate. 6 pack of beer for $8 as well, can't beat that!
Worth the price
I play here at least once a week. The course offers challenging holes for the advanced golfer but nice lay up spots for beginners. With par being 70 it makes the course a fun play for all players. The greens are medium speed and hardness but very true for putting, usually in good condition. The pro shop guys are normally very friendly minus the select few who don't want to help anyone. On the other hand the pro (Karen) is AWESOME. The girls that tend the bar are super friendly and the gps carts are a major plus. All in all a super good deal.
Good value and friendly staff
If you're a beginner or a little above talent this is a very nice course to play. Not overly crowded. Not many hazards and if you're a beginner like me why would anyone want more hazards than this course has. Course condition was very good for this time of year. Staff was very friendly (not arrogant like I've experienced at other courses where they make you feel like they are doing you a favor by allowing you to play their course). I will definitely play again.
Good pace of play cause there was no one else wasting their time playing.
