a favorite course

Always enjoy the course. Due to some wet weather earlier in the day the course was not at all crowded and the round took about 3:20 for the 2 of us. It's still early in the season so some parts of the course are still coming in. I expect things to be pretty much perfect soon.

Great Find in Yardley

Great links public course. While late fall with drought conditions the course is holding up pretty well. Greens look real good tee box pretty good. Fairways probably haven’t had significant irrigation and look a bit worn but under the circumstances are fine. Rough is probably in the worst shape. The staff is welcoming and Eileen in the pro shop is as well. Given the difficulty getting a tee time people are voting with their rounds.

Course is in great shape

Enjoyed playing as a threesome. Even though we were behind a foursome, we finished in 4 hours, 18 mins. I shot a 79!

Needs Maintenance

I used to play Makefield several times a year, butbthis was my first time back in two years. Conditions definitely going downhill. Fairways were in awful shape, and there’s been less rain lately but not drought conditions. Water the fairways more. Other courses at this price in the area in much better shape. And the greens were very slow, not sure when they were last rolled. This course can be great again if they care for it more.

Degraded

I can understand the fairways being burnt out because of the lack of rain. The greens were soft, but super slow, maybe be a four on the stimp. It’s a very expensive course relative to how it’s maintained.

The staff is friendly and the amenities look pretty solid. However, the maintenance of the course really has gone down over the past few years. A better management company should take this over and make it a worthwhile course to play at.

They may not care as much because it is a township course, and it’s fairly tough to get a teatime because it’s booked up by the locals, however, that doesn’t give them the OK to let a degrade.
