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 Club review

There is a standing 10am tee time for four foursomes from the retirement center down the street so don't get behind them. The course is very narrow at times so hit it straight. I found a lot of people looking for balls for way too long. The greens were in decent shape but ball marks not fixed. The par 5's are very manageable. It is a good course and I'd play it again but earlier in the day.

Good public course!

Good public course but pace of play can be slow with 10 minute tee times but the bigger issue is with the golfers themselves for slow play!

The best part is that you can walk the course without having to pay for a cart! The course is very walkable! Played many times when this was General Washington! The course is in good shape for a public course! Long ride but will return!

2nd time here in 3 weeks

Course is in great shape. Greens are somewhat fast. You really need to be below the hole. No water on the course and no cart girl. Great value for "HOT DEAL". Will come back again.

Pace of play is always an issue

Conditions were good. Course is in good shape. Greens were very good. Staff was friendly. As stated in most reviews pace of play very slow. No marshal to be seen.

Perfect Day

Nice day for golf. The starter paired me with three other.players. Had a good day playing with them. Some of the traps need TLC otherwise the course was in decent shape. I will be back.

Pace of Play

The course is beautiful. One of my favorites that I’ve played in my 2 years of golfing, but if you’re booking a tee time and see them stacked 8 minutes apart, just pick another course. We teed off 20 minutes late and the starter told us the group in front of us didn’t show, so it should have been more like 30 minutes late. Then we waited at every tee box for the group in front of us. We were hoping to get a full round in before the sun went down and ended up getting through 12 holes in 4.5 hours. Hopefully they actually read these reviews…
