Great layout

They allow the grass to grow in certain places which adds character & challenge. I hate wide open fields that have no punishment for errant shots. Entire course is very well maintained.

Broken tee's

I wish public golf courses would come up with some ingenious way to make the tee boxes look more aesthetic. Broken t's are all over the place.

Beautiful and extremely well maintained course

The Pro Shop staff are personable and we were able to get out earlier. The course conditions were perfect even with all the previous days of rain. Able to experience the snack bar and service was quick and food/prices were good.

Beautiful Course

First time playing course, best kept course I have played this season, green fairways, nice greens, beautiful views. Toughest part of the course is the greens, fast and although some very large tough to read. Staff extremely friendly. Highly recommend playing, can’t wait to get back and play again

Excellent value

This course is an exceptional value. Course is maintained like a private club. The greens are in the best shape around. The only situation I have here is the pace of play. To many times you either get stuck behind someone playing really slow or you get a group behind you playing extremely fast and it just makes for an unpleasant round. They need to pair up more singles, two-somes, and three-somes while also giving a few more minutes between tee times. With that being said, I will still play here again and again because of great value and course conditions.

Hidden Gem in Lebanon

I finally got to this course which is a 90 minutes drive for me. I didn't have many expectations and maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. I'm not sure why more don't play this course. In the Lebanon, Hershey, Reading areas it's one of the best kept secrets.

It was very affordable and in real good shape following months of minimal to zero rain. The pro shop was well stocked but I didn't partake of the food menu just because of the time of play. Building was clean and welcoming.

Staff was very friendy. The range was nice, has mats and grass areas and an old pickup truck to dent if you want to. Carts are gas, although I prefer electric for the quieter and smoother ride.

The greens were very smooth. Ran very true. I'm picky about greens and these were really good. Beat my expectations for the price. Once you get the speed down they are consistent across the practice and playing greens.

Multiple tee boxes allow them to move and give you a good starting point. No dry spots were found. They also provide you with bottles of sand for divots and it seems the locals honor their role in keeping the course nice. Lots of divots were filled around the course.

Fairways were also good. Traps were more in the fairways and few around greens, but I didn't get in any and forgot to look inside to see their condition.

The layout was good. Pleasant views, kept me engaged. I like varied holes and viewing points. A few holes near the end were odd puzzles trying to figure it out, but the 2nd time I'll place the shots better on the fairway.

Good course, great value. I'm going to play there again.

Nice layout

Love to see courses that don't believe they need to cut every blade of grass they can see. Allowing certain areas to grow wide adds character to the course. Like to see more ball cleaners on a few tee boxes. RO was in great shape this day.

Pleasant Suprise

Was looking to play another course nearby but could not get a tee time. This course we took a chance on and it was a great experience. Loved the layout and peaceful setting. Will definitely be back to play again and again

Great greens

This course had the best greens that we played in the Hershey area. The last five holes had too many blind shots and in some cases we had no idea were to hit our shots. There were too many Mickey Mouse holes.
