Omni Bedford Springs Resort - Old Course

This is one of America's oldest courses, offering a ton of rich history in addition to its immaculate conditions and terrific layout. Initially laid out in 1895 by Spencer Oldham, the course has undergone significant renovations by architectural legends A.W. Tillinghast in 1912 and Donald Ross in 1923, each adding their own influence and lots of unique features that are tough to find these days.

The layout is a truly unique masterpiece, offering five Par 5s and five Par 3s with a 37/35/72 Par. There are many interesting green structures, as well as extremely rare "serpentine" and "doughnut" bunkers. The "Volcano" is an uphill Par 3 that requires a 220 or so yard carry, or you risk your ball rolling back down the steep slope potentially 50 yards. "Tiny Tim" is a gorgeous 100 yard downhill Par 3, with a small kidney bean shaped green protected by a scenic lagoon, 5 bunkers, and a series of "alps" (mounds in the rough surrounding the green 2 feet high and 10 feet in diameter).

I played by myself and drove 2 hours each way, and am planning to do it again in 2 weeks with 2 friends. If you are ever in the area, definitely make an effort to get out for a round!

Jim Wood the pro was one of the rudest people I have ever met. I would never recommend this course to anyone, stay away! The only good part about it was the views and the people at the hotel are great.

Amenities are great but pricey, course was good for March especially with hot deal prices!

We gambled on the weather and booked the hot deal. The course was wet and was cart path only, but played very well. The greens are coming in nicely. We finished in under 4 hours in occasional mist or light rain. We had a great time and love the course.

We had a wonderful experience today. The course was in very good shape. The greens are smoothing out after having been punched and sanded.

Was the first round of 2021. Greens were aerated, and none of the vegetarian had grown in, but it was a nice day, and the course played great. Worth checking out if you are in the area.

It was just as nice as the last time we played it. We are glad we got to play it again.

What a beautiful course. Very challenging and enjoyable. The green had been punched, which made putting more difficult, but it still made for a great day of golf.

Front 9 closed due to aeration. Back 9 recently aerated. No indication of that prior to arriving

Excellent Donald Ross course in the Pennsylvania mountains.

Course is always in immaculate condition and a pleasure to play. Usually pace of play is superb, was very busy this day and took 5 hours.
