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.

1st Timer….

Pace was awesome! Got a great rate. Greens were undulating and quick! Fairways in great shape though the rough was kinda deep. Plenty of hazards and doglegs. Quite a few elevated tees. In fact on the back nine one hole 15-16? Dogleg left and a layup to a approx. 30’ elevated tee. 👍👍

Beautiful course was in great shape even after a heavy rainstorm the night before

The staff couldn't be frendlier. From the starter to the beverage carts and bar/restaurant - terrific!
