About Linden Hall

Linden Hall touts itself as "one of Pennsylvania's best secrets". This 785-acre estate is home to a historic 74-room lodge and a 6,405-yard golf course that winds up and down the region's rolling hills. The 8,720-square-foot Linden Hall mansion contains 35 rooms, 27 fireplaces, 13 baths, an indoor bowling alley and walk-in clothes dryer. An Aeolian pipe organ, one of three in the world, could be heard throughout the first and third floors when played. Today, the mansion, dating to 1913, is used by the United Steel Workers of America. The Club Pub restaurant overlooking the 18th fairway, a heated outdoor pool and hiking/biking trails are available.

not what I expected

When we got there, they had closed the front nine. Going off on number 10, we found the rough unmanageable with long grass and weeds. Lost a ball there. Number 11, same story, lost two balls. lost one on number 12. They did not tell us they just sanded the greens and they were not puttable. Our balls were covered with sand. Because every one was going off on number 10, wer behind two foursomes and a threesome. slow pace of play. Didnot bother to repeat the second nine.

Buggy!

The course was in great shape as far as playing it goes. The major down side was there were so many bugs from hole 1 to 18. you couldn't swing with out bugs flying in your ears, into your eyes or just around you in general. Almost impossible to focus on a put around the green. Also bug spray did NOTHING to stop them.

It was enough to make us not want to go back to the course.

Fun Course to play

Wide open, Beautiful views on the back nine on top of the mountains. A lot of par fives but most of them are getable.

the greens, fairways and tee boxes were in spectacular shape.

Linden Hall is back

I used to play this course frequently but have not played it for many years after the couse condition seriously declined. Well I have to say the course is back and better than ever. Great conditions, greens are good and appear to have been re-done at some point. I always really liked the layout and nothing has changed there. My only complaints are the speed of the greens seemed very inconsistent front to back. Fast on the front nine, slow on the back. And, those pesky gnats are pretty distracting.

Love Linden Hall

Hard to beat Linden Hall for a $10 hot deal, on a picture perfect August day. Very cooperative and pleasant staff. Got right out and finished in just under 4 hours. The dreaded nats, which used to ruin a round by flying in your eyes when you were trying to putt, were only present on #1 and #2, and not in previous amounts (spraying?). The greens were consistent. The grounds were immaculate. I'll be back.

I'll be back

Course is in great shape. Hopefully I can return sooner rather than later. Greens are big and fast. Just hit your shots straight and you'll be fine.

Good course for the price

Not a long course, but a decent layout. Greens are in very good shape .

No driving range but a nice pitching area.

Bring your bug spray.

Continues to impress!

This was the second time, this summer, that I played Linden Hall and found it to be in great shape. The Grounds Crew continue to maintain this Course at a high level, the Staff is always friendly, and the prices are unbelievable. Having started playing this course about 10 years ago, I've marveled at how it continues to improve. Kudos to all!

Great time

No sounds of cars motorcycles. Saw lots of animals on the course. Beautiful scenery. There were nats on a few holes that were super annoying. Get rid of nats and it's 5/5

Great Course at a Great Price

I haven't played a round with my regular partner this season when it wasn't or didn't rain. So, needless to say, it rained.

Started out wet, but finally cleared up.

This course is very nice. Very well kept and clean.

It's not one of the easier courses around, so if you want a challenge, this is it.

Several par 5's and a couple of challenging par 3's.

It rained, but the course was not bad at all. A few wet spots, but all the greens were nice.

If you haven't played this course set in beautiful SW Pa., I would say it's a must if you get the chance.

Was is really good shape

Fairways were the best I have seen in years. Greens were a bit bumpy which is expected this time of year but still had good speed on them.

Excellent course in great shape this early in the year

It's a course that most people will like to play. Large greens that are in excellent shape in early April. Today was cart paths only due to soft conditions. Greens were quick but not blazing fast. If you play from the blue tees it makes a large difference in club selection
