Great course

I play here pretty often. Usually little to complain about. Today it was cart path only due to a minimal snout of lite rain. No reason for that. Due to that. The round was excruciatingly long. The threesome in front of me obviously had no clue about ready golf. One of the players would walk all the way across the fairway with his fancy rangefinder, then walk all the way back to his cart, parked on the cart path, grab a club, walk all the way back, then proceed to skull, chunk, thin it or top it just about every single time. His playing partners I’m guessing though only one player was allowed at their ball at a time. Had to wait on every single shot. They blamed the group in front of them, who I saw 2 holes ahead of them most of the day. Regardless that this was November 25th, a course ranger is exactly the cure for this type of group. With this course presenting themselves as a top tier course, with their rate’s supporting that projection, I expect better. Playing through wasn’t an option as these guys obviously hadn’t a clue. But with that, the course was in excellent condition for a November day and minus the lack of a ranger, the staff were top notch as usual. Thinking of making the trip, go for it. You won’t be disappointed (normally)

Great Course

Playing a Pete Day course is fun, challenging, and a must do. This course was truly inspiring, and I'm so glad my son and I made the special trip and fought through Thanksgiving traffic to spend a beautiful day on the course. Thanks for a memorable day.

Fabulous layout

Top knotch course. We'll maintained and very scenic. You can even see the Chesapeake Bay from the course and clubhouse. I played this course today on October 31 in a charity outing. Course staff was friendly. The facility has an awesome chipping and putting practice area. The pro shop is well stock and the restaurant/bar is awesome. I'd definitely recommend this course for stroke play or tournaments.

First time playing the course. No coordination between young folks assigning carts and starter. Was not told starting on #10 instead of #1. My group already teed off by the time I got to #10. Had to catch up with them. Afterwards waited on every tee in a 5 hour round.

One of harder public layouts in the area

Bulle Rock is one of the tougher layouts in the northern MD/DE/PA/South Jersey area, its greens are undulating and placement of your shots is key. The greens were in ok shape, they needed to be rolled but it was in the afternoon so that's somewhat expected, I expected them to be more manicured honestly but they rolled true and were tough. You really need to look closely to get a read. The fairways were in very good shape and rough was challenging. Most holes were driver although I opted for 3 wood on a couple to promote better second shots. I don't think its a particularly interesting layout but its pretty, lots of deer and a good challenge. They have several different tee box locations which makes it a good choice if your group has a variety of handicaps. My wife found it to be too long from the reds as a high handicapper that hits drives about 120.

A public & affordable course by a world-renown architect

I was super excited to find that there was a Pete Dye designed course that was public and affordable. . For it being early September, the course was in great shape - the greens weren't patchy and the fairways were incredibly nice. I've payed nearly the same amount to play on some municipal courses in the Philadelphia area and this place beats them all at least 10 times over. The greens are challenging and hard to get a read, but it leaves you with a great feeling when you roll in a long putt.

The staff were incredibly friendly - they seemed almost excited as I was that I was playing a Pete Dye course for the first time and were incredibly approachable. Pace of play was incredibly on the front 9 - finished in less than 2 hours. The back nine was a little longer, but it was a back up of multiple groups of 2 - and even still, it took maybe 2.5 hours to complete the back.

My only critique, and it's minor, is that the signs for each hole were no longer up - maybe they were getting them replaced? But it sometimes made it confusing when the cart path split two ways - thankfully, you're able to figure it out by using the visual on the GPS and a little logic.

In summation, if you're looking for an upscale feel at a price that most golfers can afford, this is a great place to go. You get to play a PETE DYE course for $100 - what more could you ask for?
