The Club at Shannondell

The only negative thing I could say about this course is that as a senior player not hitting the ball as far as I used to it was a little long for me. The course is a beautiful layout and very well maintained. I think the greens were the best I have seen this year. Except for the travel distance for me, I would play here again without hesitation.

The course felt lopsided in terms of difficulty. The front 9 were fine, but the back 9 were punishing--narrow fairways, water hazards, and thick brush. Of course, it might just be my inexperience showing.

Course was a bit short, but very challenging with many dog legs to small fairways and several blind shots - great condition from tees to fairways to greens ! Playing it again this weekend on a great Golfnow deal - can't wait !!!

I grew up playing this course back when it was called General Washington. I remember it being a complete dump. It's really become a nice course. Not long at all, but not short to the point of stupid. It has some shots you need to make. The 18th is a little ridiculous, but the rest of the holes are very fair. Par 3s are good in their variety. The par 5s are short, but again not pointless.

One thing this course has nailed is its walk-ability. SO walk-friendly! And if you're walking - it can be VERY cheap. Definitely use internet deals too - that makes it crazy cheap.

Final thing I'll say is that I played through a slow group in front of me, and my friend and I STILL finished in under 3 hours. And we were not TRYING to be fast. It was a quick round. My wife REALLY loved that about this course. :)

Overall a pretty easy course, it is very short.
Pace of play is sometimes an issue.
Not sure why but they cut a par 4 and made it a 100yd par 3, not what I would have done but whatever.
They just aerated the greens so that is why it is so cheap right now.
Ohh and the address that is listed on Golf now takes you to a residential neighborhood 3 miles from the course, you have to google it to find the real address

From the standard tees, the course has challenges. Only problem is that some holes are very close to others. Othersise, a good game of golf, especially for the amount paid. Usually pretty open in the afternoon.

I really liked the course. It played very true and even has some challenges. The layout is a little confusion because the tee boxes are really close to each other and not clear where you fairway leads. I would definitely like to play again now that I understand course better.

I arrived and was told that the course was closed cause it was to wet. The pro said he called anyone who had a tee time to inform them it was closed. Obviously I was never contacted or else why would I have been there. I told him I booked through Golfnow and he said again I called everyone. I showed him my phone and lack of call from the course and was never even given an apology. I drove an hour total to and from the course. I will never book again for this course because you cant trust the pro.

Good course conditions and layout. I play from Sr tees that seem to be a bit short. White tees too long for my game. Course needs some/more marshal supervision, and a little better signage at several locations along the cart path directing players to next tee box. Good locker room facility and a very good bar and restaurant. Definitely recommend.

The course had taken on a lot of rain in the morning but still played well. Greens are in great condition. Short course but you need to hit the ball straight or you can find yourself in some trouble.

Shannondell is decent enough for being so close to Philly, but don't expect to get a quick round in. They don't pair people up so prepare for a long day. $50 for a weekend round is kind of steep for what it is, but you could do worse than playing here. The course is pretty short (I only hit driver 3 or 4 times) so I'd suggest to play from the Blues if you hit your driver over 265.

If you're a long hitter, there's not alot of holes to use your driver due to sand, narrow fairways, doglegs and difficult rough. Greens were slow, but there's been alot of rain lately. Didn't rush but played in under 3 hrs.(on a Friday).

I like playing the course because the condition was good especially the greens.

I like this course.

Some holes are narrow and lined with trees. Others are wide open.

Will play again!

Greens were great. Fairways were in great shape. As good as any course I played in the last year. Course is not super long, but back tees are as long as I usually play anyway. Tight fairways. Greens were lush, but relatively quick.

I've played Shannondell twice now, and I've enjoyed it thoroughly both times. The course is relatively short compared to most of the clubs I've played at, but where it lacks in distance, it makes up for in doglegs. The "grip it and rip it" approach will not work on this golf course. Some holes literally turn 90 degrees left or right. It's an interesting little track and it'll make you use all the clubs in your bag. The greens were a little slower than normal today (because of the rain), but otherwise the conditions were excellent.

Course is in good shape. Greens and teeboxes decent shape. Not very difficult - very good course for shorter hitters and husband and wife pairs. A little tight on the back nine. Price very reasonable. Friendly proshop. Bar and full service restaurant after the round very good.

Worth the money. Group in front of us was a bit slow. Need better signage to route around course, had to make a few u-turns to find tee boxes.

The course was in good shape for an early season round, but i remember why I haven't played this course in over ten years. the holes are overlapping and frequent shots are hit into groups on other holes. Our group was hit into several times and only once did we know that a ball was coming near us. DANGEROUS.

Worth the Golf Now Deal but too slow. Took us over five + hours to play.
