fun day of golfing

It was a great day of golfing, even though the course was a little wet from a shower we had that morning. It was still a great day of golfing. I just don't play quite as well on a damp course. The course was in excellent condition as usual.

Great views. Great conditions.

This course is nestled in between some hills and has some great views. Some challenging hills and a slightly confusing layout but overall this is the best course for the money in the area.

Beautiful course

I've played this course 4 times now over the past 2 years and it is always in great shape. It is very challenging with a variety of terrain and hazards. I highly recommend if you haven't experienced it.

Public Golf...Country Club Course

Recently voted the #1 Public Course in PA. The course was in great condition as usual...previous county club course. I've played when the greens were faster, but they were still rolling true. Great layout that will definitely challenge any avid golfer. Pace was a little slow for a Tuesday as I played behind a two-some, who was behind a two-some that was behind a single. Ha, just wouldn't let me play through. I blame the golf etiquette though, not the course...plus, it was a beautiful day and being on the course beat sitting in the office. If you're in the Penn State area, this is a course worth checking out! WE ARE...!

550 t time

I got the 550 t time knowing I wouldn't be able to play 18. Played 2 holes got to the 3rd hole and a 2some was waiting on the t. Another single was in front of them with 2 4somes .This course is known for slow play guess most of the players r from centre County so it all makes sense to me now

Great day on the links

Course is in excellent condition. Better than I remember from 3 years ago. Greens are fast. Fairways are well maintained. Bar and restaurant is great for lunch and a beer after the round.
