It had been some time since we last played Eagles Crossing. It's a little bit of a drive for me, so it went ignored for a couple of years. Having re-discovered the course earlier this year, I have to say that this place is one of best facilities around. The course is in great shape and the staff is super friendly. Golf course food has always been a favorite of mine, and their dogs and sausages are the best! The prices don't break the bank, either. The pro shop has just enough supplies to replace what you may have forgotten...I bought a wedge, reasonably priced, and I love it. Overall, I have been having repeated great experiences at this course!

Excellent conditions. Pace of play was good. Fairways like a carpet.

4 hours and 20 minutes to play...You can do better! Fun course and great conditions but, slow play is one of the reasons people give up this game. Unfortunately, this course is not alone in this regard, as many of the courses in the area suffer from the same symptoms of slow play. To the grounds keepers credit, Deer Valley is in phenomenal condition. Certainly one of the best in the area.

Royal Oaks is a class act. Better conditions than most public golf courses. When you walk into the club house you realize that these folks want to provide you with a top notch golf experience...they succeed. Pace of play was excellent...we played in about three hours with no one slowing us down or pushing us. Most golf courses could take a page out of their play book and follow Royal Oaks' example. The greens and fairways were beautiful! The rough was penal but fair. Overall, a great round of golf!

Fun challenging course. As with most public courses, marshals are needed to keep things moving; this course being no exception. We got stuck behind a foursome that would not let us play through, even though there was no one in front of them. They easily added an additional 40 minutes on to our round. Frustrating !!@#$!@#$! Anyhow, the course was in great shape and played fairly. The greens were pristine and the staff was friendly. For those golfers looking for a fun "links style" experience, I would recommend this course. It is truly a unique course in the area.

I have always liked Manada golf course. The course is always in pretty good condition. The greens are fantastic. It's pretty wider open on many holes, but challenging enough for most golfers. Pace of play can be influenced by vacationing casino goers, fyi. Overall, a fun experience.

One of the best courses in the area. Fairways were not in very good shape but, we are still in the cold season and the grass has not yet recovered from the winter months. Still we had a great time as we paired up with a nice couple from Canada. Yes they came all the way to Pa to get in some golf, as their courses will not be open until May.

This wonderful experience started off with a pleasant interaction with the man behind the pro shop desk. We were early, but no one was lined up to start, so he let us go right away. That's a BIG Thank You! The course was in OK shape despite the extreme hot weather we've been having, along with a lack of recent rain. The greens were in great shape. The fairways were mowed and in very playable condition. The only negative that I think could be easily improved upon, and I'm nit picking here, would be that the greens keeper could set the holes so that there isn't a raised lip around each hole. We experienced this on most of the holes. Overall, we has a great time at a great price point. Thanks!

I play this course on a regular basis because it is fun, and the Seniors and the Ladies get a fair break off the tees. Too many courses that I see offer a 5 or ten yard break off the tees to the older and shorter hitters, which favors the guys that hit the ball a ton. Nothing wrong with hitting the ball a ton, but lets face it. The 20 and 30 year old players do not comprise the majority of players from Monday Through Friday. Anyway, Manada is friendly to players of all skill levels, ages and genders. The fairways are manicured and the greens are the most beautiful in the central Pa area...Period. The staff is friendly and you can get something to eat or drink. What more could you ask for!!!

The course was in great shape, despite all of the rain that we have been getting. The greens are fast but receptive. Fairways are mowed nicely, without the super thick rough. The staff was very friendly and that is very much appreciated. There are plenty of golf desk clerks out there that are downright jerks. Manada Golf Club remains one of my favorite courses to play. It just never gets old. Highly Recommended.

This course is fairly wide open on most holes. Fairways are mowed at a reasonable height and are in great shape. The greens are about average to moderately slow on the speed category. The one main defense that this course has is that the approaches to the greens are not typical. The surrounding grass is fairly thick thus, eliminating most bump and run type shots on to the putting surface. This means you must fly the ball on to most of the greens. Many amateur golfers do not posses this skill. The greens are fairly large so that helps. All told, fun was had by all.

The management at Manada has made some improvements to the course over the past few years. It's always been a nice course, but it is in better shape now than in a long time. They shortened up some of the ladies tees, speeding up play, and making it a more enjoyable experience for the vast majority of lady amateur golfers. For the guys, it's the same course as always, but in much nicer shape. The greens are perfect, and the fairways and tee boxes are mowed close. Some of the other local courses should take some pointers from this course and mow their approaches to their greens! All in all, we had one of the most enjoyable days of golf ever!!!

Golfing in December is always a big question mark in Pennsylvania. Warmer than normal weather has allowed me and my buddies to continue to golf, well beyond what is normal here in the north east. The course was open for business and not in bad shape considering the late date. The greens were nice and fast with a few bare spots. Still better than many of the other local courses which are in horrible shape. Fairways were very respectable. The overall facility was in good shape. We had fun. The food prices were stupidly high! I won't buy food or drink here again unless it's a last resort.

Fun short course with very fast, sloped greens as primary defense. A little overpriced given the short length of the course, if you pay stated rates. Some of the greens were so fast that the ball would not hold even if you hand placed it on the green. Still, a very nice facility that is always well maintained. Great course for shorter drivers of the ball. Recommended!

After two months of drought conditions in central Pa, it amazing that the course was in OK shape. The fairways were dormant in places, but the greens were in excellent shape...I mean really good. This area of the state has had little too no rain in the past two months. Add to that record heat...I just sayin', it's hard to be critical of any golf course, given the more than challenging weather conditions. Great value and nice staff.

The dog days of summer are challenging days for grounds keepers. The fairways were in rough shape, as you would expect. It hasn't rained much in two months. However, the greens were in the best shape I have ever seen them. The course still was fun and fair to play, despite some of the dry local conditions. The staff here is always very cordial. This course still remains one of my local favorites.

Fairways were mowed to within an inch of their life, and in generally fair shape. The green's speed were insanely fast. Towering shots into the greens, with short irons, would not hold, they rolled off. Too be fair, I was told that they had a tournament the day before and the greens were brought up to a 12 on the stimp just for that purpose. It continues to be one of the most beautiful courses in the area, and certainly one worth playing.

It has been a few years since I played here, so I was pleasantly surprised how the facility has improved. The course was in very good condition. The greens were in excellent condition...medium speed. The rough was fair to amateur players, without being an automatic two stroke excursion. The pace of play was slow and there were no marshals on the course. The views from this course are spectacular! Pick the right day and you'll see Air Force 1 shooting approaches into HIA.
