Rating Snapshot
About
The Club at Shannondell, formerly known as George Washington Golf Course, has been ranked by Golf Digest as one of the "25 Best Golf Courses in Pennsylvania" and it's also on their list of "Best Places to Play." From the back tees, the course is just over 6,100 yards. Put away your driver because there won't be many chances to grip it and rip it on this course. It's a seemingly mild layout with wide, gently rolling fairways that appear forgiving, but the strategically placed hazards along the pitched greens demand well placed shots. The cut of the rough is also higher and there are several doglegs, placing even further emphasis on accuracy. Proper club selection is also very important on this golf course. The Club at Shannondell is a fun but fair test for players of all skill levels.

Not good
Course in rough shape. Odd layout with parallel fairways. Cart paths are not good… tree root mounds and pot holes all over… rough travel
Solid course
Friendly and welcoming staff. Difficult layout to follow, luckily got paired with someone who's played there before and made it a lot easier. Great conditions and would recommend.
Overall good round
The course is short but in really good condition. My only complaint is the club house is too far away to get a dog and beer on turn.
Course Was In Great Shape, A Gem!
This course was in great shape. The fairways were great, the greens were excellent, rolled true and about medium to fast speed, the bunkers were slightly hard pan but I really like those better than super soft sand bunkers, and the rough was also in great shape. I was surprised, for a 6000yrd course from the tips how nice it really was. I was not expecting it to be in this good of shape. I will play this course many times over again. Highly recommend!
Needed course directions
The course layout is hard to follow. We played with someone who had played here before and they guided us during the round, especially the back 9. It was warm and no water on the course and water in clubhouse was not turned on.
Great conditions fun course
Course was in great condition. Some holes definitely require good ball placement. Overall fair and fun.
Lost ball wasteland
Terrible congested layout with balls flying in from every angle trying to kill you. Never lost so many balls in my life. Never again. Good restaurant though reasonably priced menu.
No ranger
We teed off at 11:00 am on a Friday. There was no ranger on the course the entire time. We had to quit on hole 14. On pace for a 6 hour round of golf. I went into the pro shop to use bathroom before we left. He said “how was it”
I said we played 14 holes in 5.5 hours. He goes ohh yea it’s really crowded. I said you don’t have a ranger? He goes no. He was like some people say it takes 6-7 hours for 18 holes. Please do not play here we sat on one tee for 15 minutes watching a person hit atleast 5 plus tee balls off multiple tees.
I enjoyed my round today. Course was in good shape. Greens ran true.
Blah
Greens were in good shape, nice course, it’s an open golf course, some tee box’s were tough, not bad for local crowd.
Good value
Cool layout and in nice shape. Only complaint would be slow play. No ranger to get slower groups moving. Some of the holes overlapping creates backups
Thought i was having a nightmare
Had a 9:30 tee off and while we were getting set up I noticed there were 4 women ahead of us teeing off at first tee. Not just ordinary women they all had to be over 80...no lie they would hit there ball like 30 yards get back in the cart drive 30 yards get back out and hit it another, so on and so on. We were told they were only playing 9 so after the 8th hole and 3 hours later they finished thank god...it was a golfing nightmare. We finished the next 10 holes in 2 hours..it was wide open. Really not the courses fault they did try to move them along. Thankfully it was a nice day and I had my phone to keep me occupied. I have been playing golf for over 45 years and had never seen anything like that before and hopefully never again.
