Omni Bedford Springs Resort

Awesome course with excellent atmosphere, conditions, and staff! All in my foursome loved this course. Will definitely be going back a second time

Bedford Springs is such a wonderful course. It is painstakingly maintained, fairly long, and challenging. The staff, from pro shop to bag drop to practice range, are all friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The greens could have been a bit faster, but once we got used to the speed, we putted better. We will definitely come back!

Nice surprise! Excellent course from start to finish.

This course was an absolute gem! The greens, fairways, and tee boxes are just perfect. The staff was welcoming and helpful. Would play here again and again!

Nice course. Had a kids emergency and Wife and I only played 9 holes. Paid for 18. Not sure if golf now can Give me some kind of credit

Great course -- great condition for the fairways and greens. Excellent course -- The cost of 79.00 is a fair price for this course -- anything higher will not bring in a lot of golfers.

The course is beautiful and very well kept.. Some holes appear at first assessment to be not nearly as difficult to pat as they are. Challenging holes include the "Volcano" which takes much skill to hit the green although the hole is a short par four. There are a couple of long par fours thrown in for interest too. The new pro shop with cocktails and casual dining inside and outside overlooking the course is a must do.

We had a fantastic time playing this course! The pro shop staff and Lacy, the bartender in the clubhouse, were very friendly. The course was in great shape for this time of year. We can’t wait to play it again.

Conditions weren't the greatest...the course was very wet and played long. We thought it was expensive

The Bedford Springs resort is home to one of the oldest golf courses in America, laid out in 1895 by Spencer Oldham. In 1912, the Old Course was changed from an 18-hole layout to a 9-hole track by A.W. Tillinghast. In 1923, Donald Ross put his hands on it. And this is why I came: to play an architectural gem. These classic elements are just not found in a public setting very often, and emphasize strategy over length.

Take the par-3 fourth hole for example: playing more than 200 yards from all but the forward tees, this is the first of six Ross holes still intact in the current layout. Two-hundred-plus yards would be demanding alone, but you hit to a steep “volcano” green that is narrow, has two-tiers and falls off on every side. And then there is the bunker some 20 feet below the putting surface short and right...

The greens are generally small and have a lot of movement in them, though I didn’t find them recklessly quick.

The course has some subtle elevation change, but plays mostly in a valley through sycamores, oaks, maples and hickories. I think it is walkable if you choose to do so.

The conditioning of the course was impeccable, particularly for the first week in December. Everything was lush and green. The fairways were superb, and though the greens were recovering from aerification and tee boxes were top-dressed with sand, it did not affect the enjoyment of play.

My favorite holes were the opener, a short par-4 to ease you in; the par-5 fifth; the 11th which requires a blind tee shot (one of several); the par-3 14th; and the par-4 15th which offers options off the tee and plays shorter than it looks. The finishing stretch of 14-18 was formidable and really showed off the course’s architectural smorgasbord.

The pro shop is stocked with high-end options and the practice facility and staff were outstanding. Also a bonus nod for offering a course guide - a rarity seemingly in these days of GPS and apps. Bravo.

Played on a Hot Deal. Course was in outstanding shape and very picturesque. Everyone their couldn’t have been any nicer. Had a great time!

Course was wet but always beautiful, meticulously kept and challenging. A favorite! Off course amenities are 5 star, gorgeous!

This course was amazing. I got to play it with my son as it was halfway between Pittsburgh and D.C. so we met there on a beautiful sunny morning. Upon arrival, we were met by the very friendly staff who got us set up and ready to play. We were about an hour early so went to the driving range and short game practice area. These were both excellent and provided a great opportunity to warm up. No problem getting out a little early and we were never held up or pushed the whole day. The course conditions were amazing and it was one of the nicest courses we have ever played. The layout is very interesting and with the number of tees available, challenging for all levels of player. I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking for a beautiful, exceptionally taken care of golf course.

Probably my favorite course I have played in recent years. The conditions were immaculate and the course layout was as you would suspect of a Donald Ross/AW Tillinghast design. Cannot recommend this course enough

Played Bedford Springs after a day and a half of rain. It was wet and cart path only but was in really nice shape for this time of year. Greens were punched a few weeks ago but healed nicely and rolled true. Got a Great deal thru GolfNow so that made the round even better. Look forward to playing again.
