Playing grounds
Absolute trash lost tons of balls in the fair way due to the fact they don’t maintain it. They definitely lost my business rather play hidden valley any day of the week.
roughs
If you didn't hit fairway ball was lost due to length of rough
Needs mowed
Great course very hard tho
Stay in the fairway
The rough is unplayable and eats balls up never lost so many balls on ok shots just off the fairway
Very nice course layout
Very nice course layout but can’t even find balls on the 1st cut of the fairways. Be ready to lose lots of balls around the fairways due to long grass.
We lost balls on every other hole. Gave up looo h for balls.
One player was 9 handicapper. The other 2 in the group were 16 handicappers. Each person lost about 6 balls. We could see the ball land but could not find it after it rolled off the fairways.
Otherwise it’s a really nice course. Wish it was in a better condition.
Will be Returning
First time playing Lykens Valley and it was an experience that I will be returning for. Course was well kept. A challenging yet fun place to play. Layout was easy to follow. Pro shop was well kept and easy to navigate and their restaurant was a nice touch at the turn.
Photo is hole #1, after playing I had a wonderful lunch on the porch, played 18 by myself and finished in less than 3 hrs, a foursome on 10 let me play thru, it was truly a lovely day on the golf course
Course maintence underway.
Would not recommend playing this course at this time. Back 9 was closed. Have to play front 9 twice. Greens just aeroated and top dressed.
Under Water
Ida just blew through two days before.. I got that, but they could have said the back nine was cart path only.. It wouldn’t have been so bad if the cart path wasn’t 50 yds from the fairway.. they had a lot of debris and water on the course.. I loved the layout ! Just didn’t love all the walking.. I would play again.
Traveling Texan
Up in central PA for work. In the area this is one of the best courses as far as layout, pace of play, and price! The greens were smooth and true! Only thing that could have made them better is if they were a little faster. Not a blade of grass missing on all 18 greens. The fairways were fun but we’re not as full with grass in some places! Overall I would honestly rate this course over Bucknell golf course at this point in time. Had so much fun I actually played twice today in under 5.5 hours.
Lykens Valley
Early in the spring. Grass still needs to grow and needs fertilizer and weed control.... Looks like they have lets some sand traps go ...
Great course
This is a wonderful course with many doglegs. Need to play with control. Great food and drinks at the clubhouse.
