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.

The traps for the most part looked like they hadn't seen any maintenance the entire spring and summer. We were warned about that by the starter and were told we could take a free drop if we landed in one. Otherwise the course was in pretty good shape and a stark contrast to the sand traps.
Thank God the old lady 4 some in front of us stop playing after 9 otherwise it would of be a 5 or 6 hour round no lie or no ranger around 2hr 45 front 1hr 30 back. On a Thursday Also want to say how nice cam is what a great kid and how nice he was.
Long round
They need to monitor things better. Our round took 4 hours 50 minutes. The course was full but people played tons of mulligans and we had a foursome walking in front of us. With a full course walking perhaps should not be allowed.
Not bad
Bit rushed start but overall good course. Nice to walk
Nice course for the price
Nice course with a great layout, most holes have a very nice dog-leg layout which keep them interesting. Greens in good shape and fairways good for the price. Only issues with condition were the bunkers, but it's been wet the last week or so so I can't fault them too much but a number of them had vegetation growing in them and the rest were rock hard. Really nice deal especially if you can grab a hot-deal time.

Had a tee time for 10:20 for 4, once we arrived they informed us they don’t open till 12. Staff was extremely rude. Will never go back again. Stay away
Great 18 holes for the price
The fairways were nice and open, well placed hazards and doglegs keep each hole interesting and challenging, but not frustratingly so. Greens were FAST and challenging to read. Course felt like it played longer than 6100. Definitely would recommend this course to golfers of every level
Good condition, tight layout
Conditions were good, with Tee boxes in just “OK” shape on some holes. As other reviews suggest the driver can stay in the bag on many holes. A lot of straight up, simple holes that don’t require too much decision or strategy. Fine course to get out mid week and practice.
Not a bad place
Condition of course - roads poor to ok, tees, weedy, a bit long and some bare spots, fairways very good, greens good, slow but consistent.
I always particularly enjoy playing this course. The course is always kept in excellent condition, especially the greens. The staff is great and fun to chat with before you go out for your round. In terms of layout, all of the holes are in a good layout barring the end of 13 to the beginning of 14. All in all an excellent course!
Pleasure to play
The Club at Shannondale has always been a pleasure to play. I did not score well but I had a great time as always.
A little TLC Needed - Rates 2-1/2 Stars
Starter was very friendly and accommodating, though the person cleaning and lining up the carts was not very organized/attentive. We were given a cart that was not cleaned (may not have been sanitized either). After the 4th hole, we want back to get another cart. Even those that were sanitized had pencils and tees left in them.
Most of the bunkers were not filled and had weeds in them. Tee boxes had a lot of discarded tees in them and there were a few places where trash needed to be picked up.
The fairways/greens were in fair to good shape.
There were a ton of wayward shots by others that had people playing out of our fairway as we attempted to tee off.
Pace of play was better than expected. We were told it would take 4-1/2 hours, but took 4.
Hopefully, the course can be cleaned up a bit in the future.
