Great Day On Historic Course But Expected A Little More
Yesterday I played this historic course on a picture-perfect day. The course was soggy from heavy rains two days earlier; so, it was cart path only. I was impressed the soggy conditions didn't keep the ground crew from maintaining the fairways and greens in beautiful aesthetic shape. Of course, we didn't get much (if any) roll on the fairways, but the greens were receptive.
Most golfers will enjoy this resort course. Pace of play is OK. Our foursome completed the round in 4 hours 35 minutes; not a bad time for cart path only. Best of all, we never pushed the foursome ahead of us or delayed the foursome behind us.
Fairways are generous. the length is manageable assuming one plays from the appropriate tees, and there are risk/reward choices to be made. Greens are challenging to say the least. Lots of slope, subtle undulation, and grain issues.
I was a little disappointed with the architecture. I expected some memorable holes, and there really aren't many. For me, only #17 stands out; it's a relatively long par three with a long, narrow green. There's a deep bunker to the left and a hill on the right. A truly scary hole.
Best conditions and layout ever!
We pulled up to the coure and we were treated like royalty from start to finish. The starter's greeted us by pulling a cart up to our car with a smile and at nice greeting. The practice facility and the putting green were awesome. They could not have been anymore accommodating. We felt like we remembers of a private country club. The course itself was a very nice layout with challenging greens. If you hit good shots, you were rewarded, if you hit bad shots you were in trouble. The rough was really rough. I have played Saucon Valley old course. This course was also right on par with one of the best private country clubs in the state. There was not a blade of grass or a bit of sand out of place. The maintenance staff deserves five stars. If you want the experience of a lifetime in golf and don't want to travel around the world, this is the place to go. We had a bite to eat afterwards at Tilleys and our waitress Tina was outstanding.
Worth Every Penny
This was an excellent experience. Played it in the afternoon on my birthday, and every part of it was a treat. The course was in great shape. The greens were true and rolling nicely. The staff was friendly and helpful. The holes presented some challenge but didn't leave you wanting to break your clubs. The amenities are what you want out of a resort club. I look forward to coming back soon!
Great course - not set up for walkers
Fun old school layout - course is in great condition and cool to play a course worked on by Tillinghast and Ross (not to mention Oldham). Main concern is that for some inconceivable reason given the original architects, there are absolutely no accommodations for walkers. Zero footbridges over the numerous creeks and wetland areas (several times you have to walk off to the side to the cart paths), no walking paths between holes (to tees), no rakes in bunkers (they’re on the carts), etc. The layout is imminently walkable but when we asked about the rakes, we were told it’s not really a walking course. I know it’s a resort course, but it would be so much better if they put in just a little effort to make it a better walking experience.
Pristine
Always is a pleasure to play this pristine and historic layout. Conditions were excellent and pace of play was superb. Sadly, at the full price asked it’s really only available to few players to enjoy. After 3 rate is $189 on weekends and could be much less.
This is the best course I played this year
Very beautiful course and friendly atmosphere would play again.
First class
A little pricey but definitely worth it. Tyler in the pro shop was awesome as well as the starter. Course is so much fun and a little tricky. The greens were pretty quick and challenging
The course was in excellent condition and it was a beautiful Nov day. This is one of my favorite courses.
Fantastic Course
The course was in superb condition, especially for this time of year, and it was truly a joy to play! Everything from the resort itself to the staff in the clubhouse and course, to the layout and care of the course is top notch. The staff was friendly and helpful, which is always a plus. Highly recommend and look forward to playing again soon!
Thought I died and went to heaven
Been playing since I was a kid. Played many Donald Ross courses. They are all awesome. Loved Bedford Springs!!!
Worth the price
Played as a single, so I waited quite a bit between shots. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Course conditions were magnificent, the routing was wonderful and the views were very scenic. One of my favorite courses in Pennsylvania, second only to Oakmont of the courses I've played.
One of my favorite tracks. It's a bucket list track!
