Very Disappointing!

A very nice course visually but With regular price of $90 to $125 a round. I was expecting a course in very good shape and well maintained. But I would not blame this on the staff as much as I would the golfers and members there. The fairways were littered with divots not replaced. I seen a player in the adjacent fairway throw a divot about 5 feet on front of him, and then just walked away. I went over and replaced it. The greens were full of unrepaired ball marks making it difficult to putt cleanly. People driving around on carts yelling and blasting music like it’s a frat party. I played a public course the next day for $30 and the conditions there far exceeded the experience I had at this course. I can honestly say, I will not play this course.

Beautiful course with some very challenging holes

Course is beautiful and well manicured. Greens roll tru. Only complaint is the turf is very soft and spongey.

Jammed up all afternoon

The course is in poor at best shape. Pace of play is horrendous! No food at the turn. This is a $30/round course not a $90/ round coursei

Beautiful Classic Course

This was out first stop on our Penn-Ohio Golf Trail weekend. What a beautiful place. The Avalon folks did a great job to this venerable old CC.

It was a hot and humid afternoon but the greens were soft (thank goodness). With the exception of the 2ns par 5 on the front (and no 1 hdcp) 17 of the 18 greens slope back to front, and if you didn't hold your shot to the front of the green it would roll off.

Restaurant, bar and cigar bar were first rate as was every member of the staff we encountered.

(Cost of round above is an estimate as it was included in a 3 day 2 night package)

A Tilly Gem

Terrific A W Tillinghast course that is no longer completely private and allows some public play. Course has a tremendous layout that takes full advantage of the rolling terrain and creek that runs through the property. The fifth hole has to be seen to believe. Course is well worth your time and effort to play.
