About Penn National Golf Club and Inn

The Penn National Golf Club & Inn resides in the bucolic central Pennsylvania countryside in the heart of Amish country. The Inn features a manor house and six modern lodge buildings housing 52 guest rooms located off the 8th fairway. The Founders Grille Restaurant & Black Oak Bar are at the clubhouse. Overnight guests have access to the club's tennis and swim facilities. The 6,972-yard, forested Founders Course dates to the 1960s, while the 7,009-yard Iron Forge Course was built three decades later (1997) with very few trees. Next to the resort is the Michaux State Forest, a northern portion of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Caledonia State Park. Both provide all the hiking, biking, kayaking and outdoor adventures you'll need.

late in the season

The greens and fairways were just aerated so the course was not in as good of shape. Also the soda machine was not working so had to play a round without anything to drink.

Would play more often.

Course was in very good shape and greens putted very well. Price we got from Golf now .com was great as we feel the
normal rack rate is too high. If the course had a reasonable
senior rate (as we compare with similar course conditions), they
would get a lot more play from my age group. Everything the
course offered from the condition to the staff was very good and
we would come more often if they were more reasonable with
pricing as we are Pennsylvania close.

Well-maintained, friendly staff, nice area

Very nice course. Located in a residential development, but the residences do not interfere with the course. Nearby mountains provide nice scenery. Course was in great shape. You may BYOB, with ice and coolers provided. Friendly staff. Both courses are great, although the Founders Course has a bit more character, in my opinion. Penn National is one of my favorite places to play in this area, and I play here frequently. Never had a bad experience.

Greens were beautiful, fairways were not.

Got a great deal to play at this course on golf now on a Saturday. Tee boxes and greens looked untouched no ball marks of divots. However fairways were a little hard and thin of grass.

Great time

My 14 yr old nephew and I had one of our most pleasurable golf experiences at Penn National. We played the Iron Forge course. The greens were pristine. The course was challenging but playable for a couple of high handicappers. The staff was outstanding. I left a wedge in the practice area and didn't realize it until the 2nd or 3rd hole. I mentioned to one of the staff who stopped to check on us. I said I would check on it when we made the turn. He drove back to the clubhouse and got it for me. Outstanding. Hope to get back there.

Great course

Played behind walkers for 9 holes, but their pace was steady. Excellent value for the teetime rate. Course in very good condition.
