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.

First Time Played
Rough was thick and lost multiple balls that were just off fairway causing group to play much slower that anticipated. Course layout had parallel holes creating confusion to first timers knowing which green they were playing off the tee. Very patchy fairways in spots. Greens putted fairly true but had many ball marks that had not been fixed by previous golfers.
Slicers dream.
Many dogleg rights for the right handed slicer. Plenty of par 5s and a couple long 4s. Very enjoyable.,
Course is a “placement” course. Great course for a warm up round
Course was in better shape than the last few times I was there
Nice place
The Course was in Much better shape than the last time I played here.
Good value
I like older style courses where there is limited distance from the green to the next tee....and this course is that style. Some fairways are close but overall the playability is very good. Fairway and greens in good shape. I shoot in the 80s and will return to The Club.
Just don't hit the bunkers!
This course has a nice layout. It's challenging but fun at the same time. Here are my pros/cons:
PROS:
+ Not that long (even from the blue tees)
+ WOOF WOOF (doglegs....everywhere!)
+ Challenging but fun (allows you to take risks or play strategically)
+ Greens are soft on landing (allows you to attack the pin if you're into that)
+ Greens are fairly easy to read
+ Good price for a round of golf
CONS:
- Bunkers...they could use a little help (especially fairway bunkers)
- Greens are soft but the speed is deceiving and variable (you may be short on some holes and long on others)
- Divots everywhere
- Carts don't have a sand bag to repair fairway divots
- No driving range (this would be SOOO helpful for many players that need a warmup routine)
- Cart paths could use a bit of repair here and there (some cracks along the way)
OVERALL: 4.0
Great course, definitely recommend. Just wish the bunkers were a bit better and there was a practice facility. Otherwise...fantastic course
The difference between a 5 hr round and a 3hr round. Thank you to the group of 2 foursomes that let us through we finished in 3 hours otherwise it would of be 5. Greens have nice roll but alot of ball marks and cleat marks on all the greens.
Pleasant Round
Just moved to this area. Played as a single. Hooked up with two nice friendly players. Starter got me out earlier than booked. Pleasant round with good pace. Will play here again. Only negative is cart paths are in need of resurfacing. Understandable this year with economics and situation facing courses. Good mix of holes and large well maintained challenging greens.
