Nice track

I enjoy playing this course. It is a nice challenging layout with lots of unique holes. Conditions were very good. We were behind a foursome on the front that was very slow. Eventually, they let me play through.

Wow

Very friendly staff and the course has some of the best scenery.

Pace of play was less than 4 hours and we weren’t being pushed or pushing any in front of us!

Course is beautiful! Challenging for sure!

Elevated greens! Dog legs, traps, water…

Young’s give us all sorts of challenges. Fairways

are generous! Greens are large yet undulating

and quick! Dry days you can hit the green and turn that smile upside down when your ball rolls off the

sides. I was above the hole often- not good.

Advice? Play it safe and play to the front of the greens here!

Very slow

Very nice course, but was very slow pace of play! We played 14 holes and quit, we were on the course 4hours and had 4 holes to go. The way it was going, it would have been over 5 and half hour round. TO LONG!

Nice course, However

This course was the best kept secret in the IUP with reasonable tee time costs a great club house, course maintenance kept up and no homes on it. 85.00 prices them out of my commute to play there,, George would roll over knowing the price went that high.
