Great place to play

Played on a Thursday mid morning. The course was in incredible condition. Was not very busy so no hold ups or pushing from behind. Threesome in front of me had their cart die on them and had a new cart within 5 minutes!! Greens were in perfect conditions and fairways were great. A great course for the price, will definitely be back.

Hard Fairways

The fairways on this course were very hard with brown spots in several locations. Poor shots were sometimes rewarded because of the exta distance you might get while shots hit pure might get you in trouble. The greens and tee boxes were excellent. The course provides some very pretty scenery. Some of the layout is very unique.

Great course and lodging

I play at Lykens Valley twice a year. Course is always in good condition. Greens have good speed and subtle breaks. Rolling hills and elevation changes provide a test of golfing skills as well as provide scenic views of the valley.

Beautiful course

This course was well maintained and had nice mountain views. Lots of open space make it easy to find your ball if you have an occasional bad shot of the tee. This course offers few challenging holes as well including a tight drive through the woods, a tee off over a pond and a few tee shots over a stream.

Best course in the valley

I go to this course at least 5 times a year. It is always and enjoyable course. Fairways are the best I've ever seen them this year. Greens are impeccable, tee boxes are also. The front 9 holes are much more forgiving on the fairways and greens, perfect for getting your game warmed up and dialed in. Back 9 is a bit more challenging to hit a few of the fairways, and greens are sure to get your ball moving. Very challenging course for its overall yardage.

very green

The course was quite green. I didn't see any areas that were very brown.. A little is to be expected here and there but overall the course was very well kept. I played alone and even though there was a little slow down due to multiple two soles, I was done in 3 he's.

course is player friendly

Likens is a good course to play the 2 times I played it it was not that crowed so play moved right along I play in the low 100's and there were holes I found fairly easy to play but I also found some challenging holes like numbers 8 and 15 the course was in good condition and I am sure I will play it again in the near future I wish it were geographic closer to where I live

A hidden gem

This is a great course that is suitable for all skill levels. The layout is very nice, the front side takes on an old style country club feel and the back side is more of a new style mountain course. The overall course condition was great, the fairways and greens were very well taken care of and the rough was in good shape as well. The staff was very courteous and friendly as well as knowledgeable. The bar/restaurant area was also very impressive. Overall I was extremely impressed and I would highly recommend this course to anyone of any skill level.

couldn't ask for better putting surfaces

Couple of spots on fairways a little rough, but given the change of seasons course was in fantastic shape, putting surfaces nice true roll to them very receptive to approach shots
