Fall Golf

This course was beautiful with the foliage in color. Leaves were blown off the playing area, did not loose a ball do to the leaves. Greens were fast and fairways like carpet.

One of the best public courses in Central PA

Fairview is a course that has been around a very long time and just keeps getting better with age. It's a great layout that gives golfers a lot of different challenges. But it is a place that high handicappers and newer golfers can enjoy as much as single-digit handicappers.
The staff is always friendly and helpful. The pace of play is excellent. The course is kept in great condition, and the recent removal of dozens of trees has made it a little more forgiving and enjoyable. I play this course a lot as it is one of my two favorite courses in Central PA. Highly recommend!

Great layout

Sand is bad. Like to see more trees. They don't need to mow every inch but better to allow some areas to go wild as it adds character. Corse well taken care of.

Great for an early round

Played from senior tees for the first time. Saved me 10 strokes on the round. Next time will go back to whites, very open a lot of trees have been cut down. Greens are in great shape. Play slows down after 10am tee off.

Course Conditions

The course is one of my favorites. However, my last two rounds I'm noticing how thick the rough is including around the greens. They are thicker than anywhere else I've played. The greens used to be slower and now there are some holes where the ball just won't stop. In my opinion, the course would be better if these two areas had a bit more attention - cutting the rough a bit lower and cutting the greens a little less tight.
