A very nice course with one drawback

The holes on this course are some of the most scenic holes you will ever play in Western PA. Some greens have 2 and 3 levels which are very challenging believe me. The layout was great with no parallel holes you get in some courses. While the course is very hilly, it is also very playable - with one drawback - BLIND Tee Shots! ON the front nine alone there are 6 blind tee shots. The second time you pay this course you will love it. It is not easy but it is a great course - the second time you play it. I had read several reviews of this course which complained about poor service. We had no such problem - the service was friendly and fast.

Thank you for sharing your experience here at Pheasant Ridge! We love to hear that our staff is doing a great job with our customers! If your a first timer at Pheasant Ridge, the blind tee shots can be very frustrating. But like you said, the second time around is a lot more enjoyable! Thank you again for the kind review and we look forward to having you back.

great league course

I read the reviews and I can see a mixed bag of comments and rightfully so. however, we have been playing this course for years and recently, with the new ownership and management, we are experiencing our best years at this course! The new owner is spending money on the traps, greens, fairways and has recently leased new carts w/ GPS. the course is in the best condition you will find in the area. It is not a long course, but it is a challenging course with excellent greens. it is a great course for our golf league and our league rates this course very high! the staff is always quick and helpful. the bar has craft beers and other refreshments for the non drinkers, snacks etc. we thoroughly enjoy playing in our league here and often play 18 or 9 before our league 9. we wouldn't be able to do this if the course was over booked or extremely slow play. for the golfer who plays weekly, you may find yourself waiting on the golfer who rarely plays, or plays once per month. this is common anywhere. our league motto is "play for the golfer behind you" and it seems to be paying off with the course being in excellent condition consistently. we love this course and it is highly recommended! thanks Mike, Leah, Jim and Bob!

League Play

I would like to thank both Jim Horan and Mike Reimer for the excellent service provided to our group. Most of them were first time players to this course and they were duly impressed by the aesthetics, condition and care of the course. They were very complimentary of the way Jim and Mike took care of the group and services rendered. Our group of 16 had nothing but high praises for the course management and want to come back and play the course again,

Diamond In the Rough

I knew I was in for a pleasant experience from the moment I pulled into the parking lot and got out of my car. I was greeted by a wonderful gentleman named Bob who greeted me at my car and asked me if I had a tee time. He brought a cart over to my car and said, "how is that for valet service sir"? He was quick to give me tips on certain holes. This is not a difficult course if you hit long irons straight. That being said, you better put your approach shots in the right position on green. When I finished, I was greeted by Bob and the beautiful Leah. She got me a drink at the bar and was very friendly. I will tell all my golfing friends about this course.

Slow pace

With 8 minutes between tee times it was no wonder we teed off 20 mins late, took 1 hour to play first three holes and 3 hours for front nine. I was also no longer able to use a debit card I purchased a couple of years ago that still had money on it. Disappointing. Thought the course was in good condition and greens were very nice.

We are so sorry to hear that the pace was very slow on the day you were playing our course and your debit card was not able to be used. We will pass this information along to the right people to see what went wrong there. We are glad to hear that among the negative experience you had, you still had something kind to say about the good condition of our greens. We hope you give us another try and we look forward to seeing you again!

Over Booked and Rude

No pace of play monitoring at all. 3 hours to play 9 holes and when I discussed with the manager he told me his GPS was telling him the pace was 38 minutes behind like I was lying to his face.

The manager of this course is rude and doesn't care at all if his guests have a good time.

I will not golf here ever again. Too many courses in area to pay $50 to play here and be treated like trash.

Beautiful architecture and services!!

Pheasant Ridge is my most favorite course in town!! It's not only because of its beautiful architecture but also the warm welcome from the staff!! They truly committed to ensure that the golfers enjoy their time invested on the green or at the club house. It's well worth the $ paid.

Course conditions

The golf carts were filthy, probably because most of the cart paths are in rugged poor condition. The course backed-up on the 4th hole. No ranger was noted. We quit after reaching the 10th tee and realizing a group that was 3 ahead of us was just arriving to play the back nine. The tees, and greens were OK, but some fairways were pretty rough and barren. We won't play here again.

Good course but missing great care

The course was ok but greens were slow. Golf carts were filthy as though they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. Cart paths have washed out in places which is hazardous as I twisted an ankle getting into our cart.

Many of the bunkers had littl sand and/or were filled with water.

Disappointing for a potentially great course!

good bargain with Golfnow

Staff was very friendly and paired me up with a 3some. The course was full, but the pace of play was very good considering the different level of golfers playing. The cart paths are terrible and someone said they're going to be doing asphalt soon. The course was in pretty good condition, but the traps need work. Tee boxes needs some leveling but overall good track.

Excellent public course

Most holes are open and forgiving from the tee box. Bunkers around the course were creatively placed and well maintained. Great value for the green fees. Two greens have severe undulations; makes for a fun challenge.
