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.

Too many doglegs and not long enough.
The fairways were way too narrow. Too many trees. Make a mistake and not hit a fairway and you’re in the thick stuff. 75% of the holes are doglegs, so no driver off the tee. We must’ve used driver twice throughout the entire round. Beautiful course, but not user-friendly.
Good course but horrible pace
Greens are very good. If you struggle with accuracy, then it may be frustrating. Room for error is very minimal (too many holes between trees)
Pace may be very slow if the crew in front is just spending more time looking for their balls)
Good public course - need a hard hat
Course was nice, grass a bit long. Tough to find balls witching reach of the fairway and greens. Course is a bit tough to follow. Tough to find the next hole with layouts and signs. Most concerning, I was almost hit 2x by players on other holes.
Long day.
Yesterday was the longest wait time I experienced this year. The pace of play was turtle like. I could not develop any rhythm or continuity. The condition of the greens and fairways was very good. Two of my foursome left early due the the slow pace. Kudos to Dave for getting the courses tipped top shape.
Golf ambassador doing his job.
I had a pleasant experience playing golf at your course yesterday . The staff was helpful by asking how my round was going and I said that the group in front of me was moving slowly due to their inexperience was evident. He said he would ask them to let us play through, which he did and my group was able to develop a much better pace and rhythm. I like to thank Chuck the afternoon golf ambassador for his assistance thereby making our day so much enjoyable. Also, the new sand in the bunkers are great and the greens were running true.
Good day
Professional staff. Green were fast and true. Enjoyed the round.
Great course for value
Fun course to play. Well maintained course, greens and tee boxes. Very open. Not many difficult holes. Some greens can be challenging. No cart person on Friday.
Nice course. Dangerous layout
Course was in excellent shape. Nice putting/chipping practice area too. For $70 on a Saturday, you’re probably not finding a nicer conditioned track. Everyone who worked there was nice. Pace was pretty slow but not as slow as some of the reviews.
HOWEVER. The layout is atrocious, to the point that it’s downright dangerous. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured by a not that errand shot. I don’t think I’ll go back for that reason.
Cat Out of the Bag?
Their Course Superintendent and his crew have done a TREMENDOUS job of improving the course conditions. This Winter they totally re-did the majority of their sand traps and have done a marvelous job of it. Kudos to them!
You owe it to yourself to play here and enjoy a nice round of golf.
