Meh

Reasonably priced, Mom and Pop kind of place, but you get what you pay for. Cart paths dangerously poor condition, carts old and in poor shape. Layout a mixture of mundane and unorthodox holes, with some long par 3s, and a few weirdly designed holes. Philadelphia If it was in great condition and amenities were better, it might be fun to play once. But my one experience was enough for me.

Disappointed

Staff very friendly, but course very disappointing, mostly due to conditions of green. Pro shop gentleman reduced greens fees by $10 and said greens had “some damage”. That was an understatement. Some greens had some large spots with bare dirt that was hardened like concrete. Other spots were so sparse that there was more dirt than grass. Forget trying to read a putt.Bunkers not in great shape, and some were hard pan. Tees not in great shape, but at least on-course restrooms smelled good. Likely never going there again. Nothing personal, just very poor conditions.

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Panther's Run. We apologize we were unable to meet your expectations on this visit. We have been dealing with a series of unexpected issues in recent weeks that have temporarily impacted our greens. Fortunately, they will be healing quickly and will be getting better daily and will be in very good condition again soon. We hope you will visit us again soon and see our improvement.

Worth About $15

Overpriced for the condition of the course. Tees weeds if any “grass” at all. Fairways either burned or mostly weeds. Hard to get a lie that was on true grass on some holes. Surprisingly, greens were in good shape. Bunkers a mess, and course has a strange layout with some ridiculous holes. It appears that the owners have given up, and have no pride in the facility.

Awful Condition

This course has gone downhill. It’s never been great, but now it’s embarrassing. Tees have little grass, greens have many bare spots, with only dirt. I almost asked for my money back, and won’t play there again.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Not going back

I booked a tee time online, and arrived at the course to find that I had been booked to follow the last group in the club championship. The starter told me not to "push them". On almost every hole, I waited until they left the green before I even hit my tee shot. They should have blocked out a couple of hours of tee times after that group before letting anyone else go off on #1. The round took about 5.5 hours, and was a very frustrating experience. The pro shop guy apologized, but offered nothing in the way of compensation for my trouble. I was a bit surprised, and thought that it might have been small act of kindness for a miserable experience. I won't be returning to Chisel Creek.

Excellent Staff

The very friendly pro shop and restaurant staff helped to make my experience a bit better. Course was not in very good shape overall, with very rough fairways and dry, grassless conditions. Riding a cart on the extremely bumpy and barren course was very uncomfortable. Raw beginners on course with no marshal a problem, as I was almost hit twice with stray shots from people who should never be allowed on a course.

Thanks for playing our course and thank you for the compliments on our service staff!
We're sorry you did not see a marshall on the course as our staff typically works to make sure we can provide a fun and enjoyable golf experience for players of all abilities.
We're also sorry you didn't enjoy our course conditions, but good news: we're making it better! A brand new irrigation system is set to go into the ground in the next few weeks with bunkers and cart paths to follow. Keep up with all the improvements along the way by visiting our blog at http://www.edolivergolfclub.com/keep-up-with-ed-oliver

Just Okay

Didn't know what to expect when I got there, and not overwhelmed by any stretch. Course conditions fair, but bunkers were awful and areas around greens poorly maintained. Overall amenities fair, but clubhouse had no food to go at the turn. Seems like missed opportunity. Refreshment cart similarly had no real food, just candy bars and chips. Tees in bad shape, but greens were pretty good. Probably won't return.

Save Your Money

Can't believe this course is open. Tees are burned out mats of aerated, dead turf. Fairways are brown and baked. Greens are like concrete, and some are so dry they are actually cracked! Worst conditions I've seen in many years-should have demanded my money back.

Thank you for your feedback about the course, the greens and course have been in very poor condition but we recently hired a while new maintenance staff to take over. In the meantime, enjoy generously discounted rates by booking on our website!

Great, Except for Greens

Everything about the course and experience was great, except for the greens. Many were in poor condition. Layout outstanding with lots of tee options. Would love to play agai when greens are in better shape.

Need on-course services

Played in 90 degree weather, and there was no water on the course. When calling pro shop to report, was told that they were short on staff. On a weather day like that, more attention should have been paid to keeping people hydrated.
