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.

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.

Horrible condition, worst condition I have ever played

It was sad to see the old Harrisburg North course in this shape! The fairways were rock hard under low quantities of grass. Lots of bare spots! The greens were just arratted with lots of sand on them. They were soaking wet at noon so the ball wouldn't roll without picking up wet sand which slowed down the ball and made pace impossible to guage. On top of that the plugs from arrattion were dumped right next to the greens which interfere with chipping when you miss the green. The fairways were so hard good tee shot were lost due to the ball running for ever. I would rather never play golf again than to play Lykens valley in that condition!
