Lykens Valley Golf Resort

Burnt fairways, uncontrolled rough, unusual layout (not in a good way)

Greens were in excellent condition but doesn't make up for the other items. For the price, did not enjoy the course and wouldn't go back.

Food and staff were top notch.

Someone is always up your back makes it a little hard to find tempo .

Its not a PGA course but always a good time playing. The back 9 is a commute through nature and staff is friendly. Price is right and I always get my moneys worth LOL.. Plan on spending around 4 hours for18.

Absolute trash lost tons of balls in the fair way due to the fact they don’t maintain it. They definitely lost my business rather play hidden valley any day of the week.

If you didn't hit fairway ball was lost due to length of rough

Great course very hard tho

Stay in the fairway

The rough is unplayable and eats balls up never lost so many balls on ok shots just off the fairway

Nice course but the roughs are too high. Easy to lose balls around the fairways in the rough.

Very nice course layout but can’t even find balls on the 1st cut of the fairways. Be ready to lose lots of balls around the fairways due to long grass.

We lost balls on every other hole. Gave up looo h for balls.

One player was 9 handicapper. The other 2 in the group were 16 handicappers. Each person lost about 6 balls. We could see the ball land but could not find it after it rolled off the fairways.

Otherwise it’s a really nice course. Wish it was in a better condition.

First time playing Lykens Valley and it was an experience that I will be returning for. Course was well kept. A challenging yet fun place to play. Layout was easy to follow. Pro shop was well kept and easy to navigate and their restaurant was a nice touch at the turn.

Photo is hole #1, after playing I had a wonderful lunch on the porch, played 18 by myself and finished in less than 3 hrs, a foursome on 10 let me play thru, it was truly a lovely day on the golf course

Would not recommend playing this course at this time. Back 9 was closed. Have to play front 9 twice. Greens just aeroated and top dressed.

Ida just blew through two days before.. I got that, but they could have said the back nine was cart path only.. It wouldn’t have been so bad if the cart path wasn’t 50 yds from the fairway.. they had a lot of debris and water on the course.. I loved the layout ! Just didn’t love all the walking.. I would play again.

Up in central PA for work. In the area this is one of the best courses as far as layout, pace of play, and price! The greens were smooth and true! Only thing that could have made them better is if they were a little faster. Not a blade of grass missing on all 18 greens. The fairways were fun but we’re not as full with grass in some places! Overall I would honestly rate this course over Bucknell golf course at this point in time. Had so much fun I actually played twice today in under 5.5 hours.

Early in the spring. Grass still needs to grow and needs fertilizer and weed control.... Looks like they have lets some sand traps go ...
