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.Facts

2nd time around
I played and reviewed this course several weeks ago and made comment about the ever present bugs, sand fleas, what ever you want to call them. I've played here for years and they are present on several holes along the wood line. Well not this time. There were no insects to speak of on the entire course. The course was in the best shape that I've have every seen and I go back to when we use to ride horses here.
Amazing value
The course was in great shape. Amazing greens putts rolled true. Absolutely will be back.
So so
The course conditions were very good. The staff seemed bothered by any questions we had and if we needed anything and they had to get off of the golf carts in front of the pro shop and go back in it was like you were being bothersome. I enjoy good experiences as well as good golf. That was my first and last time going there. Maybe the staff should make people feel welcomed instead of a thorn in their side.
Perfect day, Perfect conditions
We have played Linden Hall for years but the course conditions continue to improve each year. The course was in impeccable condition today and the weather was perfect. Many people complain (justifiably) about the bugs but it appears that they have taken mitigation efforts to stop that problem. There were a few gnats on the first two holes but the rest of the course was fine. Pristine course conditions make this a must play course.
The bugs are still there
It had rained the night before I played so the sand traps weren't worked and raked but beside that the course itself was in nice shape. The bugs are still there, neither worse or better than usual but I still enjoyed my round with the use of bug spray. I played by myself and one group let me play through so I finished 18 holes in a little under 2 & 1/2 hours.
Employee's need to be more pleasant.
You couldn't find more people not happy because of where they were. At least four individuals grunted out commands without the courtesy of a simple gesture of common pleasantry. I first played this course when I was 12 years old with my father. I'm now 67 and love the game and normally love saying hi and being friendly but couldn't find a nice face. I won't play here again because of this and I play everywhere in W PA.
Back 9 is what makes this course...
Layout is okay. Front nine is pretty bland, a few decent holes but once you arrive on the backside of the course where you can overlook the valley from this one par 3, it's a great view. Also the historic mansion is a pretty special sight.
It was wet from a lot of rain overnight so I can't be too critical of the conditions. Price was excellent, we did play during the week so I can't speak for the value on the weekend, but all in all a course worth making the trip and seeing for yourself.
Can’t break 100
This course will humble golfers of with my lack of skill but I loved every minute of it.
Nice long course in decent to good shape but have bug spray.
Nice course but lots of bugs. Nice electric carts.
It’s a beautiful course
My only complaint is the bugs
This course is awful
Way to many bugs on every green can't putt because of bugs flying in your face will never play again
This is simply a beautiful course to play.
Very good layout. Some very challenging holes. GPS in the carts would make this place a paradise.
Best value
With the fear of giving away a best-kept secret, Linden Hall is the best Course in the area and has become my favorite for a great return for my money. If you haven’t played it in years, you’re in for a nice
Surprise. Kudos to all!!!
