Crossgates Golf Course

This was a "warm" winter day, around 50 or so and sunny. The course was in very nice shape considering our very wet, cloudy weather recently. Fairways and greens were as good as could reasonably be expected, tee boxes were aerated but level and grassy, and course had drained very well, as evidenced by no cart path restrictions. My only complaint -a mild one- is that the bunkers were not groomed, but it is off-season. This is a very enjoyable layout, with a variety of elevation changes, hazards, and several unique holes. A real treat in the middle of January, for sure!

I play here all the time. Can't beat the value. Jason, Frank, and the rest of staff are always very accommodating.

I've been playing at Crossgates since the late 90s. I live a mile from a muni course that lacks the personality, challenges and visuals of Crossgates, and yet costs more than Crossgates. Personally, I think this is the best value in the area. I've had issues in the past where I've called and asked how busy it was, was told it was slow, then got there and it was packed. But I've only a few problems since they are on GolfNow. I hope they get the 3rd hole figured out. This is the 2nd time they've had it closed. It is actually a very fun hole, so hopefully it will get back in shape. I was a little surprised at some fairways and greens being a little rough this week, but we've had so little rain and a hot summer. For an afternoon (3pm) rate of $20 with cart, this place should be packed, but it was pretty much wide open. I came up on a 2-some on the front (who only played 9), and then a 2-some on 15. Other than that, wide open. I urge locals to support this course and keep it going. I think its quite fair, while offering challenges. The rough was a little "rougher" this week, but its not supposed to be easy, eh?

First time visiting this course. Layout has a lot of doglegs, which can be difficult depending on your shot shape. Course was in good shape, no noticeable real issues. Pace of play was horrendous however. We were waiting on every shot on every hole, some tee boxes ended up with multiple groups waiting to tee off. Never saw a marshal or anyone come out to try to speed up play. I'd play there again at a time when it would be uncrowded, but not on a day where it would likely be busy.

Nice course good shape. Rough is dry but tees, fairways & greens are lush.

2 foursomes one all male one female let me play through.

This course was definitely challenging especially the last hole on the back nine, but if you are up to it take the challenge. The only concern that I take with this course is how narrow as congested everything is. Not a whole lot of room on the fairways and personally I do not like courses set up like that.

Golf sympa a jouer, surtout pour les droitiers en fade ou slice qui s'adapte bien au terrain. Varié. Greens durs et forte roule qui rend difficile les birdies...

I play this course every week. I like playing here but lately it takes about 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes during weekends. Nice course to play during the week. There are no Marshall's on the course.

the course was nice, people very accomidating. There is just to many out of bounds and blind shots, which makes you decision on how to play the hole.

Being the approximately 300th time I've played this course, it was a great way to get back to golf after not having picked up a club in two months. This course has a wide variety of holes; two through six are an interesting stretch of tough driving holes, a short/drop off par three, a double-dogleg par five and then a nice left to right par four. If your a left to right mover of the ball, this place is for you as many holes play along the Conestoga River. I played this in high school, play this now, and will play this in the future... and for just $20 you can't go wrong leaving work a few minutes early and hacking it around until dark.

Decent course. And, the staff was really nice. Thanks.

Staff very friendly and helpful, after a morning round at another course, had a very nice lunch in the grill, then went out to play. Course was in excellent condition, well manicure tees, fairways and greens. Greens rolled very smooth and true.You do have to play once or twice to know where to place your ball on some of the holes. But all things considered, had a very enjoyable round.

i love it, play it all the time. sometimes some of the greens are a little ratty, thats my only complaint. I love the layout, every hole is different. Pretty challenging with tightish fairways and blind shots frequently.

Excellent course, great shape!! Greens were fast, nice!

The course is absolutely great! The conditions were better than anywhere I've played this year- fast greens, perfect fairways, and just overall well maintained. Played with a buddy as a 2-some. We were behind a bunch of 4-somes, but you have to expect that - played in exactly 4 hours on a Saturday which was great. This course is an exceptional value- the best conditions around, and lower prices than others in the area. I'll be back often...

When in the area, play this course. My buddy and I arrived just time for our 8:13 tee time, the parking lot and bag drop teeming with golfers, immediately I am thinking we are paired with another twosome and a long day on the course, not so! We were greeted nicely in the pro shop, were told that all the activity was a Golf League and they were going off the back shotgun, what a relief!. We went to the 1st tee and were greeted again nicely, course in excellent shape, nice mix of holes, some challenging shots to be made. Greens looked weird with splotches, but were as smooth and true as could be. All in all a great little Gem here, from tee to green and a nice staff to boot. Even the prices on hats in the pro shop were good! Plus $25.00 w/cart for Seniors can't be beat.

Love this course! Challenges all throughout. Greens are lightning fast and looking great! There is a new restaurant/pub opening this summer onsite.

Since moving to PA in October 2015, I have played this course about 15 times. I played a handful of times in the fall and considering the time of year, the course was in good shape. I was surprised there was not a restaurant or bar area, but I understand there was some changes being implemented. But I have played a good amount of time this spring and have noticed that this course will be in great shape once the weather becomes more consistent. The pace of play the last couple of rounds was slow, so a recommendation would be to have a starter available or a marshal when the course is busy. Overall I enjoy this course and given my work schedule, I can play during the week when it is not as busy. I can't wait to play again, hopefully this week.

The roll on the greens was good but, they were quite hard. If you hit a nice shot on the green's most times it did not hold. The Trap's were the worst I can remember. They dirty and had alot of rock's in them.

This is the 8 season of playing golf for me,, I'm 52, This year I decided not to join a club I would rather select courses that I heard are ones to play and make a road trip for a day. Book online and go solo. Crossgates is the 4th this year. An hour and a half from home due north to Lancaster area.

The weather was borderline cold to uncomfortable, my golf balls never seemed to get the distance that my clubs could even clubbing up seemed to be 1 short from the fairways. Short game was good Putting was good to except how fast these greens were,, wow " you gonna stop or what " If youre playing for change, make them put it out , no gimmie's, you'll collect more often than not. I always get a yardage book for 2 reasons momento as well as a guideline they are handy to have for blind shots and broken fairways. There are many elevation changes here, I'm ok with that ( Deerfield Passholder last year ) so I am very comfortable with wedges UP to an elevated green.

Each hole is very fair meaning you have a chance to score, Paved cart paths,,, love them,, and each hole is clearly indicated with BIG numbers that means alot to over 50 people. The entire place was way Beyond well manicured and clean.

I finished with 91 45/46 seems to be my average score on unknown courses. quick tip ,byo,

This is a nice course go play it.
