The Club at Shannondell

If you like doglegs, this is the place for you. Virtually every par-4 and 5 turned, sometimes a full 90 degrees, and often with tall trees guarding the corners.

(I was almost expecting the par-3s to bend!)

Still, a decent and challenging layout.

I’d give it a strong 3.5 stars out of five.

Course in good condition (although some fairway bunkers appeared to be primarily dirt/hard pan).

Not easy. I think the 121 slope (blue tees, just under 6,000 yards) may be slightly understated.

I’d play it again for under $30.

I'm usually a once per week golfer, and having played here a few times I can say it is definitely a challenging one. The course conditions were excellent with greens reading true and having consistent speed from hole to hole. Some bunkers were a bit muddy from rain a few days prior, but most appeared to be in good shape. This course will make you go through most clubs in your bag at least once, and that's something I personally appreciate in the layout. Be wary that there is no snack or drink cart driving around, but there are plenty of water coolers that are always full.

I've played this course a few times previously but my recent round was a pure joy. Although the course is a public facility it was near private course conditions. The teeboxes were even and manicured. The fairways were plush a the rough was a bit high but not overly punishing. The traps were a bit wet because of the overnight rain but manageable. The greens were consistent and smooth. Overall out of a 10 I'd have to give this course an easy 9, really.

Played a 6 hour round behind a bunch of groups who played very poorly. Started 15 mins late on top of that's.

Play there before, always enjoy it. Course is not that long, but a lot of dog legs. Staff in club house and the starter was nice and friendly, but it took us over 5 hours to play 18 holes. The course condition was not bad, but the greens were very inconsistent. Some were very fast while others were super slow. Over all, not bad for the money.

I have been playing the course for several years, always enjoyed walking on early weekend days. However, I was just informed that there will no longer be a walking rate and that whether you walk or ride , the rate is the riding rate. Excellent for walking at $35 but to pay $49 to walk (same as riding), not worth it. I will no longer play here on weekends. Kind of sad that local courses do not charge a lower rate for walking...There should be encouragement to enjoy the game as it should be played....walking.

I have wanted to play at Shannondel for a good while. It has been 45 years since I last played the course ( General Washington CC at the time). The course bares little resemblance to the original layout and there are a couple of pretty 'hinky' holes they have made out of what used to be some good holes.

Overall the course is in good shape and features a rather nice clubhouse facility now - much better than the original. I wish I could say I would go back and give it another try but I found it rather boring compared to the old layout.

I will admit I was trying to relive old memories but it just didn't match up to what I felt about the layout in the past.

This golf course is conveniently close to Philly and good for a hot deal. The regular rates would make this course not the best deal. The layout is kind of boring, each hole looks like the other. Some of the tee boxes and fairways are so close together it makes for a bit of confusion. It was my first time playing the course, and for me it was probably a once and done unless there is another good hotdeal and its convenient location. The course staff was very friendly and accommodating. The course was also well manicured and in great shape for a late November round. Greens were smooth and responsive. Overall a quality golf course but lacking some character.

Most of the holes are very nice. A few on the back look like they were stuffed in there to make 18. Hole layout is not well defined on a few holes. Overall, it's a nice course for a hot deal.

This course is not bad for the hot deal pricing but PACE of PLAY was just so slow over booked I would say!!!

I played on a misty day when the course was not crowded. The course conditions were excellent especially the greens. Since it was early fall, there were plenty of workers around clearing the leaves from the fairways, bunkers, and greens. This course requires a good tee shot on most holes. I plan to play this course a number of times in the future.

Played Columbus Day; the only reason I didn't rate pace of play one star. The pace on the front nine was just dumb. An indication of being overbooked imo. The course condition was ok, but if you're not on the fairway you can get some wonky lies.

I'll keep Shannondell on the back burner until I can play when it's a bit less crowded.

What I like about the Dell is that the golf is straight forward and scoring is possible; even with the silly pin positions they had yesterday, average was five feet from the edges of the greens!!! I'm sure that didn't help the pace and that is a reflection of forethought; rather lack there of.

Well maintained course. Staff quite friendly.

However, very, very tight course. Be prepared to lose a number of golf balls. Anything off the fairway on a number of holes, could spell a lost golf ball. Can be especially hard on beginning golfers

Played course for the first time, luckily I played with a regular. Course is challenging with all the dog-legs but not too bad. Only critique would be that there were no water coolers in use on the course. Great deal on golf now.

Course is still in good shape. Some right to left holes need to be re-shaped or cut back on left side as they are not fair to righties but other than that, a decent value at $28 to ride.

Well keep course. Pace of play good and very nice greens. Course not too difficult

Not a glamorous course, some fairways and most teeboxes struggle with crabgrass and other disease patches, but the greens were in surprisingly good shape, sand traps too, although there aren't that many of them. Played as a twosome at noon on Saturday of Labor day weekend, no one behind us all day, so was able to play two balls just for fun. The restaurant/bar facility outclasses the course - beautiful bar and restaurant, beer on tap was icy cold, perfect after a hot day.

Iwe found a deal for around $44 for 18 and a cart on golf now. The course honored the deal and starter and ranger were both friendly. Ranger actually made his rounds checking on pace of play which is nice because a foursome in front of us was very slow and should've let us play through. Course was in good shape, fairways cut, rough not outta control, greens were fast, and bunkers were actually playable with soft sand. Overall a good experience for the money, I'd go back

Course was in excellent shape...had areas that where being worked on but that's a good sign of course maintenance...great course.

Arrived early and starter sent me on my way. Very friendly and willing to accommodate. Course is in great shape. Very surprised at the quality for the price that I paid on golf now. I will definitely be playing here again. However, they need to get a ranger out to push people along. There were walkers that were playing faster than some groups of 3 and 4. I only made it to the 15th hole before I couldn't take it anymore and decided to just leave because there were 3 groups backed up at the tee with no courtesy to other players.
