Makefield Highlands Golf Club

Course is in great shape, but gets backed up at times!

I am up from Florida for the summer. This is on of the best public courses around. I played at a private course 2 days before, and the greens today were just as good. It cost me half of what the private course was.

There was a foursome that was holding up the entire back nine. The clubhouse was called and nothing was done. The foursome was two holes behind.

I booked my tee time on Golf Now. Aside from little guidance, check in was seamless. I played as single and was paired with a father-son-friend threesome for my 2:00 pm tee time. The only other time I played this course was about 15 years ago during a frat brothers alumni gathering. The course is generally open. The course challenges are the sand traps and putting greens. I see from many recent posts the course airated the greens late (about a month ago). This move paid off as the greens were in very good shape. In fact the entire course was in very good shape. Our 18 hole round of golf was completed in 4 hours which by my standards is very good for a weekend round! I definitely recommend this course and I will certainly be back (hopefully sooner rather than 15 years later!).

Played this course yesterday with a cart. GolfNow price said the price was $57 but when I went to pay the ProShop said the price was $77. I complained about the discrepancy but they just struggled their shoulders, throw another problem with GolfNow’s system on the pile.

Great staff, nice setup! Pace of play was bad. Had to wait on every hole on the back nine.

Big fan of Makefield! The fairways were firm and cut low. Also love the layout of the course. Only thing was the greens were still punched from the aeration.

Was kinda disappointed they had done their aerating so late in the season, and then the holes were not adequately filled with sand, so putting accurately or judging speed was impossible. Overall though, for a public course, this one is by far the best in the area.

Better than expected. I am a member at a club but would still pay to play here again.

I had heard so many good things about this course. I didn’t find it to be any of those things. In the pro shop nobody ever told me the greens were aerated. Plus the aeration process was the worst I’d ever seen. Some greens were too dressed with sand others were not some looked like they had come back fine others were in rough shape. Tees and rough, fairways had lots of patches of different grasses and weeds. Not what I would expected for $90 a round. Range is not good, mats were old targets were not great and grass was spotty at best. Overall just not what I would expect. Conditions overall should be perfect this time of year coming out of a mild winter and plenty of rain and sunny days but still looks like this course is months away from being $90 value in my eyes. At the end of the day I will not be returning and not recommending unfortunately.

My first time at this course. Will be going back for sure. Pace of play was awesome. Myself and two others walked at 7:00 am and was done in 3:15 minutes.

I've always enjoyed this course. It has a fun and interesting layout and is usually in excellent condition. The only issue this time was the greens were recently aerated and putting was inconsistent. The quality of the course makes this forgivable but I hope to play again in a few weeks when the greens are back to normal.

were freshly aerated and hand no sand at all. any putt outside of 4 ft was impossible.
