The Club at Shannondell, formerly known as George Washington Golf Course, has been ranked by Golf Digest as one of the "25 Best Golf Courses in Pennsylvania" and it's also on their list of "Best Places to Play." From the back tees, the course is just over 6,100 yards. Put away your driver because there won't be many chances to grip it and rip it on this course. It's a seemingly mild layout with wide, gently rolling fairways that appear forgiving, but the strategically placed hazards along the pitched greens demand well placed shots. The cut of the rough is also higher and there are several doglegs, placing even further emphasis on accuracy. Proper club selection is also very important on this golf course. The Club at Shannondell is a fun but fair test for players of all skill levels.

Not terrible

Greens were decent fairways were soggy not bad for the price. No range and lots of dog legs.

Windy weather
Walked

Did not read the fine print. Walking Only. No Pull Carts Available. Cart Path Only would have been a sensible option but for a 71 year old Senior golfer, not an easy walk with carrying the bag. Could not finish the round.

Another awful day at Shannondell

Pace is awful nearly every time I play here. Guaranteed to be backed up on 10. Staff are miserable - unfriendly, unhelpful and just plain rude.

Great First Experience

Our first time playing the course and it was in excellent condition. Rough was very thick putting a premium on being in the fairway. Course plays longer than the listed yardage in part because of the number of dogleg holes which might be off-putting for some. Friendly staff. Good value for the money. Not sure how the course manages leaf pick-up which might be a problem later in the fall.
