Course Highlights
Shannondell's challenging doglegs, thick rough, and well-maintained fairways and greens consistently reward golfers who return for its scenic layout. Friendly staff, smooth pace of play, and a well-regarded restaurant make it a favorite worth revisiting.

About

Holes 18
Type Public

Length 6122 yards

Rating 69.9

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.

Decent course but poor pace of play

Course was in good shape. Layout was interesting. Pace of plays was awful. Played with a group of three and after 4 hrs we had only completed 15 holes because of multiple groups of 5 and 6 ahead (are you kidding me!). Marshals didn’t seem to be doing anything. They didn’t even give me a score card at the start so had to rely on the guys I played with for all layout information. Pretty disappointed overall.

Saturday pace VERY slow

The pace of play was nearly unbearable. We are regulars at this course (2 a week minimum during the summer). This was the slowest paced we’ve ever encountered. We played the first 4 holes in 1.5 hours. The course is very good although their tee times are too close together. The Marshall on this day was good though. He was trying to improve the pace of play.

Great first experience

Great course for the price. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Only downfall was that the pace was a little slow because of the group ahead of us.

Good shape early on

Second time playing Shannondell, and again very good value course. Fairways and greens especially were great for so early still in the season, rolled really smooth and had some speed. A lot of doglegs, not long at all but need to hit smart shots. Some bunkers are filled with grass (no sand) not sure if they are supposed to be that way and cart path could use improvement. But a nice track to dial in the game and try to shoot a good score.

Left of Hole 1

Teed off at 12:20 (12:30 once we waited for the twosome ahead of us) got done the hole and at 12:50, when there was a foursome and the twosome ahead of us ready still on the 2nd tee I left and got a refund. Completely terrible course management and pace of play. I’ve never left a course before

Sneaky long

Only 5990 yards from the tips, but most of the par 4 are 360-390. A couple over 400, including the 415 yard 18th. One of MANY doglegs up hill and left. 18 has a pond at 100 yards in front of the green. A recent aeration with small holes didn’t effect puts on greens that ran quick.

Glad I got in on the deal when I did. I grabbed the last 2 spots available 9 days ago. Grab the hot deal when you see it or come out and play. I
