Beautiful and fast course in the Princeton area

Fantastic course conditions and good beverages in the club house. Greens are true and sometimes tough to read. Overall fantastic value for money

Fun course in a vacuum...

For a public golf course, it's in great shape. Greens could be a bit better, but again, for a public course, they are solid and true. Good ball striking will be rewarded here, poor ball-striking will struggle. The course does a nice job of making sure you on your A game in the short game department. Multi terraced greens, tremendous elevation changes.. You won't regret it.

I've been using the practice facility as my home. A good vibe, even amongst the T shirt wearing riff raff..

fantastic course - definitely worth checking out!

Loved this place! I've heard about it for a few years and I've been trying to get out here. Finally had the chance. The front nine is basically all "in-land links" and then the back is more wooded.... There are a few "quirky" holes but not so much that it ruins the course. #15 is a bit odd... however it LOOKS more odd than it actually IS... and once you've played it you wish you could go back and give it another go.

I wouldn't call this course overly difficult, but it can be challenging in sneaky ways. But if you're ON... then you could go pretty low here.

The most important thing to me is whether a course is a FUN round, and this place is 100% fun. Just about every hole could be a postcard and there are a lot of little things to learn about the place.

I HIGHLY suggest this place. It's actually really underrated as a course in eastern PA. I would easily put it right up there in the top 5 public courses in the philadelphia area.

Great Experience

Simply put, should you decide to play Makefield Highland, you will be very, very glad you did. The staff from check in to when you returned the cart were all friendly. The course is challenging yet fair. It's helpful to play with someone who knows the course (which I did. Thanks guys). Go ahead, book your tee time, you'll have a great day.

Fun layout. Course needs better manicuring.

Granted I played right after it poured for a good hour before tee. The greens are inconsistent both in pace and surface smoothness. It’s so close. Just manicure it better. Otherwise, a really fun round.

Bunkers—-

Many bunkers are under repair.

That’s the only negative.

This is a difficult course.

Hadn’t played it in a few years.

After a relatively wide open the back Winds through woods and narrows.

Very difficult

Fair Value

This was the first time I played this course. I'm not, generally a links-course fan because they're often boring. There was a decent mixture of scoring holes vs those with some difficulty. Makefield Highlands was a bit different. There was great variety among the holes. The well placed traps ensured they come into play, which added a challenge from shot to shot. Finally, the course was in very fine condition and the greens were fair.

The greens were in bad shape. No one replaces their divots, the greens were bumpy when putting.

Enjoyable round

The staff were very friendly. We were greeted at the driving range and introduced to the Toptracer Practice app, which is a really nice amenity. The course was challenging but fair. The tee boxes & greens were in very good shape. We’ll run, and located, restaurant at the turn for a drink & snack. Looking forward to playing there again.

Excellent experience

Very nice links course. Fairways in great shape as well as greens. Course could stress to golfers to replace to the debits on the greens. Overall greens were slightly tough to read especially if you are playing there for the first time. I would definitely recommend this course for play. I will definitely play another round here.

What a Surprise!

When I saw the pictures of the course, it reminded me of a course in So. Cal. a course in Lake Elsinore; "The LInks at Summerly". Courses somewhat made like the links courses in Scotland. Well it live up to all the hype; T Boxes, Fairways, layout and the greens were true to speed. Really enjoyed the course, will return soon.

Makefield with the Ladies

Was paired up with 3 lovely women that helped me navigate my first time around this beautiful tract. Tees fairways and greens were in very good shape. Bunkers had sand in them and were raked. The course had water coolers throughout. Pace of play was good for a Saturday afternoon. I will definitely be back and I would love to play with the girls again.

High marks for Makefield Highlands

Nice, tough track. Mainly links-style holes with a few parkland.

Course conditioning was good but short of excellent.
