Skippack Golf Course

There's a lot to like about this course, but there's also not so great things...

The good: the course is in excellent condition, some bunkers were very hard but you'll find that on lots of public courses. The food at the turn was awesome with a lot to choose from. The alcohol variety was great too and very fairly priced. We also paid $20 for a tee time on a Sunday morning with a voucher they offered which is quite the deal!

The bad: Pace of play - yes it was the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, but 6 hours?!?!? C'mon! We were backed up four deep on some of the back 9 holes. No ranger moving anything along and they stacked tee times which is never good. The starter wasn't much help and was grumpy too. No sense of humor. Sorry we were inconveniencing him by trying to golf. Then actually one thing I forgot until I saw the picture was the most utterly dumbfounded hole I've ever played. It was either 11 or 12, a short par three. The hole has geese all over the place. Not sure what the course could do about it, but it should be something it was nearly unplayable. Then to get to the green if you're riding you must drive through the woods then get around and walk across a bridge that goes up and down and across. It was asinine. I hit mine short of the green on the other side of the water and after leaving my cart, had to take a good two minute walk to my ball. The course also has many holes on top of each other on the front 9, we had to dodge lots of balls, and yell fore quite often, and/or have another ball on our fairway or vice versa.

In conclusion, I don't know that I would play it again and definitely not for full price. It was a challenging course for more reasons than just the lay out. Would recommend for a good deal if played on maybe played on a less crowded day.

Course layout is extremely confusing and dangerous and the course is in terrible shape.

I played this course the morning after a severe rainstorm and every bunker was unplayable. If you hit your ball into a bunker, a drop out and around the bunker was needed. One of the par 3 holes was closed for the day.

Course was pretty well taken care of and the staff was very nice. Would recommend to anyone to play the course.

Staff was the most rude I've ever encountered at any golf facility. Played my round but will never go back. Avoid this place

Course was in great shape but pace of play was way too slow took 2.5 hours to get through first 7 holes and we started our round after 3 pm

Played this course with my son. His game struggled but he still broke a hundred. courses is tight, fairways immaculate as where the greens.

Course was in decent shape. Very dry. Fairways and rough were okay, but the and the greens were extremely bumpy. Putts would not roll straight and bounced all over the greens. Tee boxes were pretty much just sand and in pretty bad shape. Staff was friendly, but they did not make any effort to improve the pace of play. It took almost 5:30 to play 18 (as a threesome) - that's pitiful. The course really needs to do something about the pace of play. The course is not difficult enough to merit it taking longer than 3:30 to play

Great course....scenic but challenging with elevation holes....strongly recommended

Nice course with some challenges but no too difficult

nice course, but the back 9 is real right. Too tight actually

Played on one of the busiest days of the year, but pace of play was satisfactory at 4.5 hours.
Enjoyable tract with a good variety of holes.
Greens are a little slow, but that's probably a good thing since there's so much undulation.
Wonderful staff and pro shop.

Course is a good value for $20.00. Par 70 with six par threes. Lots of hills and valleys. 45 min. ride from downtown Phila. Excellent Hamburgers.

Staff is friendly! 1st tee at around 3:30. Had to scrape every water jug for half bottle of water and the temp was north of 90 degrees.

Friendly staff, decent course conditions, great weather!

I like this course. It has enough challenge without being unfair. The staff is nice. The price is usually spot on. The greens are well contoured with only three that seem unrealistic.

The dry less this year, has roaches all of the greens. They were in bad shape mostly when we played. Weeks without ron have caused dead spots and they have to fix them causing unevenness and bumpy play. Rest of the course was well handled for the conditions

Overly crowded, greens in very bad conditions.would not play again or recommend

slow greens due to lack of rain and they couldn't cut. Shouldn't sell beer on course. inebriated players get slow and forget etiquette. Good course for beginners.

This course isn't terrible, but I won't be playing it again. It is WAY TOO TIGHT. If you like losing golf balls, being on top of other groups, constantly having to wave off golfers on other holes to let them know you're about to hit, then you might like this course. You really have to be a 9 or less to make it through this course without getting frustrated. It swallows golf balls. If you hit the ball ten yards off of the fairway, you're either searching, dropping, or getting in the way of another group. A member of my group actually brought to my attention that if you looked around at any given time, you felt like you were at an outdoor cocktail party because there were people everywhere. I witnessed at least 6 people on the wrong green. The wrong green! I'm a 14 handicap and played to a 25 the day I played here. I could never tell where my ball was and never had time to look for it. Just leave your driver at home. The absolute worst part of this course is there yardage marks. The score card greatly differs from the tee box sign. There were par 4s that should have been 5s and vice versa. The last hole said it was a 120 par 3. I always hit my wedge 120-130. There, I either hit it 170 or the yardage was wrong. The yardage was so far off that my group constantly felt like we were playing the wrong hole and had to double check that we were in the right spot. The ammenities and staff were actually great. I had more fun off of the course than on. I hate ripping on this course because I had a decent time there, but the course itself made no sense.

A few of the greens weren't in the best shape, but overall the course was well kept. I got a burger at the turn and it was surprisingly really good.
