Good quick round

Arrived to find a large group of "locals" on the first tee and the pro immediately took us aside to discuss possibly starting on the back 9 since we were playing as a twosome. Awesome move on his part. Played the back 9 without running into another group and found the same at the turn. A very enjoyable round. Course in great shape although greens were a tad on the slow side due to overseedng. Putts ran true but just had to put a little extra pace on them. Staff was friendly. Will play again!

Well maintained and great staff

From the moment you arrive, it is obvious that the staff is dedicated to insuring your time spent here is enjoyable. A special mention to the starter, a delightful woman named Sandy. After assessing our level of expertise with the game, she suggested some pre-round practice time in the short game area specificaly the bunkers since they use a really fluffy beach sand that we had never played in before. Although we were on time for our 12:50 tee time, she told us she would get us out when were ready. She also gave us a course book with her own personal notes as to where the best landing areas were to avoid or at least minimize the number of balls that ended up in the numerous water hazards or penal fairway bunkers.

The course itself is amazing. The fairways are moderately wide and the rough was cut so as to be only slightly penal but high enough to slow down errant shots from rolling into trouble. The greens. were moderately fast and in immaculate condition. The risk reward on practically every hole kept the round interesting....I could play this course everyday and never get bored. You will definitely use every club in your bag if you want to score well.

Better than expected!

Booked this course as a play day on way to Florida on Golfnow Hotdeal. My wife and I were warmly greeted upon checkin and were given a very specific and informative briefing of the course layout. Practice green and driving range were very nice and after a quick warm up we began play.

A few positives about this course. The layout was very intetesting and utilized the contours of the terrain to make each hole unique and interesting. The first par 5 on the course plays uphill well over 150 ft. in elevation change but what you lose on that hole, you gain back on a downhill par 4 that some big hitters will likely score well on. The front 9, although more conventional, plays harder than the "tricked up" back 9 that had a ton of blind shots. The par 5s on the back are easily reachable for most players which helps bring your score more to your handicap. The course conditions overall were excellent.

A few negatives....My wife's tee boxes were poorly maintained and I heard more than enough complaints about hitting off bare ground in the tee area. Also, despite the presence of very few bunkers on the course, they were in poor shape and could really use some sand. That being said, we enjoyed the course so much, we replayed the front 9 since there was an opening when we finished our 18.

What can I say! Singing praises

This was without a doubt one of the nicest courses I have ever booked on Golfnow. We were warmly greeting in the pro shop as soon as we arrived and were given a verbal course tour that was both entertaining and informative. The course was manicured to perfection, the greens rolled well and were receptive to shots despite being aerated 18 days ago. This course was very well laid out with great use of the rolling terrain. The par 3s are long yardagewise but most play downhill so they play a little shorter than the distance on the card. Everything about this course was near perfect. If I lived in the area, this would be high on my list for membership.

An Up and Comer

Played early morning. Wildlife everywhere...saw hawks, a giant flock of turkeys, and several deer. Pro shop attendant could not have been any nicer and informative. Bunkers full of sand (could tell they have been recently redone) and greens were immaculate. Some minor hardpan in edges but fairways well maintained. Overall a very fun course for the money.

Back 9 Beauty

Had 1 PM Hot Deal tee time but there was a tournament scheduled at noon so pace of play was terrible. Had to wait 5-10 mins. on every tee box. That made for a 5 1/2 hr round. Beautiful day so we still enjoyed the course. The back 9 is stunningly laid out. Swirling winds and natural obstacles made for an interesting round. Would play again!

Great course....accommodating staff

Arrived an hour before our tee time and the starter told us they were running behind due to a frost delay. He suggested coming back in 2 hrs which suited us well because the back up would be resolved and it would be significantly warmer. Re-arrived about 1 1/2 hrs later and we were given the option to go off the back 9 first which worked out really well. Pace of play about 3 hrs for 18 with that simple suggestion.

The course was in good shape considering the inclement weather the week prior. This course has a bunch of elevation changes and is very scenic on virtually every hole. This is a must play when the weather turns too cold to play in PA so we make the trip often when we see a warm day or two.

A Little Disappointed

Let me first highlight the positives..
1) This is not your typical course hitting driver and iron off every tee....you will likely hit every club in your bag on the front nine. The course has many short doglegged par 4s that may be best played off the tee with hybrid or long iron. There is a lot of elevation change and this results in a lot of blind shots. Establish your yardages and hit to that number.
2) The layout is very scenic while the course borders a lake on most holes. The fall colors added a sense of tranquility to the round.
3) The carts were well maintained and pace of play was excellent.
4) Staff was friendly and very helpful.

Now for the negatives...
1) The greens were very slow and did not roll true. There were spikemarks and unrepaired pitchmarks on virtually every green on the front. The back nine greens were only slightly better.
2) The women's tee boxes were not in good condition with sparse grass and muddy conditions.
3) Fairways had many areas that were muddy and torn up from mowers.

We played this course on a Golfnow Hotdeal and only paid $25 each. This is an extremely fun course but the conditions were not even close to ideal. I would play here again but would really like to see a little more attention paid to the greens and tee boxes.

Great course in great condition

Have played this course several times before and thought I would try it again. I was not disappointed. The course was excellently maintained even though it is the dead of winter. Greens rolled true and were not significantly slower than in the fall. Fairways were dormant but in good condition with most divots filled in. Staff, as always, was welcoming and helpful.

Gotta Play This Course!

Outstanding from tee to green. Staff friendly and accommodating. First eight holes are conventional holes but starting with #9, the course is more "desert target golf" in layout. Conditions were perfect with quick greens and well manicured approaches and fairways. Could not offer one improvement on this course!
