Shawnee

I really appreciate that the grounds crew vacuumed the levels off the course. I played two other courses this fall that didn't bother doing anything about the leave and lost balls in plains sight on fairways. The wasn't the case here.

Not what I expected

I have owned a timeshare at Shawnee for many years and like the area. I did not start playing golf until 3 years ago, but always thought the course would be a really good one. I am sure with all the trees dropping their leaves and the place getting ready to shut down for the season, it wasn't at its best. But I expected more. I will play at Shawnee again, they do take good care of the course, it just wasn't as nice as I had hoped it would be.

Nice course

I played Shawnee for the first time the other day and we played the Red/White course. Off the 27 holes the offer are settled at the base of the mountains and run along side the river. Golf can be stressful at times but at Shawnee the mountain range and river alongside the course help keep you relaxed. The course was in great shape even though they just aerated the one course and the pro staff was more than friendly and accommodating. My only complaint is he driving range. Hey need to replace the betting on both sides and clean it up for a more professional appearance. Other than that I recommend Shawnee to everybody. Great place

Beautiful and challenging

This is not a long course, but the small Tillinghast greens make it a challenge. Most of the course lies on an island in the Delaware River, and the two holes that call for a shot over part of the river add a little bit of excitement. This is a nice course for beginners, but tough enough to be fun for better players as well.

Classic layout

Unexpected surprise. Outstanding value on GolfNow in the fall. Greens rolling like mid-season in November. Hat's off to the maintenance staff trying to pick up every leaf on the course - and succeeding. Would definitely play again. Historic clubhouse and resort. Staff is friendly, helpful and professional.

Beautiful Golf Course

I was excited to play Shawnee for the first time given the history and the design of the course. It did not disappoint. The course had a lot of character with the green complexes standing out the most. The greens were in great shape and rolling pretty fast. It was a very enjoyable round of golf with pace of play being 3.5 hours and good weather on a beautiful fall day. I would definitely recommend this course to others. The clubhouse/hotel is very cool as well.

Beautiful Course

Course was in excellent shape, the fairways were just cut and the traps had sand that you can hit out of. I would recommend this course, we also played the white as well. Most of the par 3's are long.

NIce course in the mountain area

The course condition is good in a pleasant day. The pace of play was slow in the front nine. However, starter move us to the blue nine. It makes thing faster.

Beautiful curse but...

....they had just aerated the greens. I shot a 97 (pretty high, I'm normally high 80's) mainly beacause I lost 8-10 strokes on putts going offline. Otherwise, one of the best courses I've played in terms of scenery this year. Challenging but not brutal, it helped to have a regular mixed in with my 4some to show us the way. I would def play again, I think its the perfect course for "fall golf"

Great old course.

We played on a really hot day so the greens were left long and were really slow. Rough was also long and tough. Still a great course.

Great course

Had a great day. Was hitting the ball straight which is a big plus on this course. The staff here are super friendly and accommodating. The greens were in excellent condition. The views of the river are relaxing.
We were blessed to see a young eagle making the rounds!
Just a nice game!

Over the River and onto a fun course

My first time playing Shawnee. What a nice old course, that has great fairways and greens. We played the Blue to Red course. On the second hole tee box if you look to your left, there's the Delaware. And it only gets better from there. A couple of par three's you tee off on one side of the river and hit to a green on the other side. Very cool. The views are great as are the course conditions. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food I only give three stars, but we only ate at the half way house. The service was quick and friendly and the food there was okay, hot dogs and burgers. I'm sure if you ate at the club house the menu is better. Overall a very enjoyable round of golf and I will be back often.

playable course for all.

multiple tees make distance a non issue and fairways with some width so errant shots are usually still playable. we played as a twosome @ 1:50 pm and moved the whole time , under 4 hour round . Short par 8th hole on blue is all moguls can play more difficult than yardage.

Beautiful setting with interesting layout.

The course is challenging but fair with many well designed holes. The greens were fast and in good shape for a public course.

It could use some TLC on the cart paths and landscaping. It is a great value during the week. It rained heavily the night before and it was relatively dry. This course could be outstanding if it was maintained better.

Challenging Tee Offs

This course (the Red/White) was a good time. All tee offs had a danger factor which made this course tough. Lot of water. If you are not hitting straight, either water or thick rough.
