Beautiful fall golf

Enjoyed a great round of golf. Fall in NEPA sometimes it’s hard to find your ball. They’re taking good care of the course.

Nice municiple course

The course has a nice layout with good amount of elevation change. The greens were smooth with slightly above average speed. The greens are somewhat difficult to read so take a second look.Because it has been very dry the ball really rolled out on drives but made iron shots a little more difficult. Nothing a little water wouldn’t cure. Very nice over all if I am back would definitely play again.

Needs work

A great layout and a very big course. In better shape than a few years ago, but needs a lot of work. For a Muni it is a good course for the money, and good for beginner's.

Nice course

The course was very busy but the pace of play was fine. I love the open fairways but the greens were aerated so they were a bit tricky.
