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
Par 70
Length 6122 yards
Slope 121
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.

Solid Course

I’ve played this course a few times now. It’s one of the better public courses in the Philadelphia area. It’s not extremely long, but I think the course is fair. You get rewarded for hitting the fairways and punished for missed. The course conditions were solid and the pace of play was not too bad for a Sunday.

I’d play there again for sure.

Great Value

Good spot! Great value for your money and it’s a fair but challenging track. A couple dried out patches on the tee boxes but the fairways and greens are in really good shape! Would totally play here again or recommend it to a friend. The clubhouse is really nice too if you are looking for a post round drink or bite to eat.

Shannondell is Great

On the other hand I will never use Golfnow to book a tee time. I tried cancelling my tee and Golfnow’s website would not let me do so. Tried to contact Golfnow, no way to email them or speak to a representative. Was cancelling well before 24 hours of my tee time. Finally called the golf course and was able to get a credit for another tee time. Still have to pay Golfnow, but it will be the last time!

Course in good condition

We played several times last year... Found the course conditions this year much better. Tees, fairways and greens all in good shape. We're slowed up a bit on the back nine but still finished in 3:58. Enjoyed our round and will be back.

Post Storm and Lush

First time out after major storm in area. The course has lost upwards of 25 trees. Course conditions was prime and lush after many days of heavy rain. A couple wet spots around that have trouble draining but if you stay on the fairways ands out of bunkers you are having a great day. The rough played like Bethpage today, deep and thick.

Great conditions

Course conditions were great. There was some obstructions due to the recent storm. Bunkers were well maintained for the most part. Greens were consistent and smooth. Took almost 5 hours for our round.
