Rolling Thunder

Course kinda reminded me today of a roller coaster of the same name not that far away..Holes go up and down hills giving you various lies in a nice well manicured course.( fairways and greens are a 10/10 this late in the year..Greens put true, but be careful on downhill putts as very slick. Slopes are great making you think before selecting your club for each shot...today was windy which made this a rocky trek as in the old fashioned WOODEN ROLLER COASTER!...only grope was 2 groups in front of us would not let us play through so we each played 2 balls and were still right up there tails. 4 foreign women and in front of them 4 total hack Jack's. OH well, we recommend this for everything but the usual lousy golfer stiffs who should've gone shopping or watched football.

Super Shape

Course in best shape I. Yes..They finally improved the cartpath on #2...GREAT JOB.....Fairways, teeboxes all very nice, but the greens putted so true like a dream.
Course is NOT easy
..1st time players should play the front tees to get a better feel, even if you are a long ball hitter.. Par 3's are especially hard from tips....#15 is one of the most unique par 3"s anywhere! I actually think #4 and #17 are tougher than this island hole. Anyway, take a cart as it is a long, tough walking course....

Good luck!!...I need to go back soon and get revenge as I shot 90 and played well.

Tough and a hoot

Course has beautiful "Old School" layout....very long from the back tees where I play. Fairways were fine as were tees and greens as well. Greens are tricky, but putt true. Staff really cool and nice if they can put up with me, see? The rough this day was really hard to hit out of as they had a bit of rain, then Sun which caused them to be heavier than normal. It was a real challenge, but worth every penny. Take a trip and play one of the best courses in the area!

Air rated n overpriced

Everything was aerated, tees, greens, fairways...price was same as Summer...Golf Now should have mentioned this. Greens were in poor shape.....would not play there under these conditions for $3.00. Drive 20 miles up 422 and play a REAL COURSE:READING CC.....played there today and it is in immaculate ondition for cheaper. Pace of play was like the golfers who play there. SLOW and LAME......THIS STINKS.

Enter SAND-MAN

This be short..fairways alright, tees OK, greens mostly fine, but a few in poor shape....BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE..THIS IS A GOLF COURSE!!! A GOLF COURSE HAS "SAND TRAPS:...NOT BIG GIANT HOLES WOTH STONES AND HARDENED MUD!..These were the worst traps I have ever seen, and there is NO sand, man. If you do play, do not attempt to try and play out of them or you may break your arm, or ruin you club. Or call Dr. Strange, as this is the MULTI TRAPS OF MADNESS!..

Frozen but fun

Listen, it is Winter and this was one of the few courses that was open. Yeah. Ground frozen, and ice in the holes, but it WAS 18 degrees. Staff was nice and did let the cart go out. You just have to revise your game to suit conditions...I will challege anyone on Earth to play #2 which is a short par 4 ,but requiring placing ball such that it does not bounce into the 2 ponds .especially the one in front of the green. Impossible when groind is frozen, and pond is not ( PLAY THE BALL AS IT LIES), plus green like rock as it was rock. I managed a 7 which was my only blemish on a round of 84 from the back tees. Course is short, so if you come when is warmer, and hit a long ball, play it from the back. I was 1st person out (a few were going out when i came in, and breezed around in 1 hr 50 min. I LOVE WINTER GOLF!!! Less hacks, quick play, and NO BUGS!!

Hard to beat

I have played this course many times, and beleive it is one of the toughest coursesvaround..Greens nice but deceivingly quick, and very tricky. You will NOT figure them out no matter how many times you play. Fairways are decent as are the tees. One issues is the safety on #2 with the cartpath after you hit your 2nd shot..Very nasty incline that is slippery/dangerous, so you have to drive the cart around local road to halfway down #3 when it is wet as YOU CAN NOT NEGOTIATE THIS CARTPATH unless it is dry, and that is hard too. Anyway, if you are a seasoned golfer and want a challenge, THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU! Hacks stay away as you may lose all you balls by hole 6.

Tough challenge as usual..conditions SUPERB!!!

Get all the clubs in the bag (You will need them)...beginners stay away as balls will be lost. This course demands many plays until you know where to place the ball, hit the greens and PLEASE THROW AWAY ALL THOSE YARDAGE GIZMOS AS THEY ARE WORTHLESS! The par 3's each pose a tremendous challenge from the back tees, and go ahead, use that yardage toy and see where you wnd up, Out of Bounds, In a creek, trap, or under a tree. Wind can play a massive factor too. Anyway, greens are easily the fastest and best in the area...fairways are plush and nice, tees pretty good too..rough is just ROUGH. I am going back tomorrow and Sunday ...can't wait!

Green Acres See?

Course was in decent shape, a little long and soft...not much roll from recent weather. Greens were best anywhere...seriously, not sure what they did, but they putted so true as I made 5 putts in excess of 45 feet! A+++ to your greenskeepers. Only gripe was quality of golfers as full of havk heads. I'll be back though just for these greens. I'll take the countryside,,,see?

No Cart? Course great, but had to walk.

You (Golf Now) statedthis round included a cart, but when I went to the golf shop I was told no more carts in th Winter. They said they would call you to get my $$ back, but it was mid day and to kate to play anywhere else. I decided to WALK and managed to get around, though I had to carry my bag which for a 64 year old in wind chills of 24 degrees was pretty tough. I will ALWAYS call now so I don't have this happen again...course was in super shape for time of year althoigh all the pins were way hard in the back corner of the greens like 2 feet from the fringe, so very tough. I did play Summer rules and reslly only had one lie that was goofy as the ground was icy. Still, greens putted well and I will go back WHEN THEY HAVE CARTS TO RIDE.

17 holes good, BUT

I love this course, BUT today I find out the Golfnow price is like $5.00 More than what they were charging at the course. Also, #4 which is a beautiful, tough par 3 had a closed green for some reason, so it was reduced to a Frankenstein created semi mowed rough/fairway green with a hole in the middle...this was unplayable period and RUINED the round which I was playing great other than this which the people in the group said to just pick your ball up once on the green and take two putts. It was horrible. Not going back until next year when they fix it.

What happened???

Well, I had played this course about 5 weeks ago and it was a little wet, but the course conditions were good..I thought the greens were not bad then, BUT NOW??? DID THEY LOSE THEIR GREENSKEEPER? I can accept the tees were chopped up and the fairways were average, but tge front nine greens were the worst I have wver seen. Not a lot of grass on the greens, and no putt was true. Ball would just roll wherevee as not enough grass on the green to be fair. Back nine at least had 5 of the greens were better, and could at least manage to hit the putts semi to where they should go. I hope they put more $$ into the greens as I am not going back until I hear otherwise. I have played all year on fast and slow greens,and have managed even far more difficult courses. I hit 11 greens in regulation today and had 52 putts! First time EVER exceeded 40 putts as I have played Merion and Oakmont and have done awesome. Seriosly, the 2 guys I played with said they were unplayable and were just giving 5 foot putts to avoid frusttation. I got so mad that I drove to another course in Phoenixville, Pa and played 18 more holes on normal greens which were lightning fast, but the ball rolled true...carded a 81 with 29 putts..now I feel better.

Foxy poxy

Tees good, faiways nice, about 2/3 of greens good, other third had too many pock marks maybe from deer ravaging them. Only other issue was a Fox was annoying on #18. Apparently people have been feeding it and it was following us around like a dog.

Log jam?

Well, the course was in pretty good shape since they had a Tropical storm 4 days before which brought down many beautiful trees that you had to play around if you steered off the fairways....fairways were damaged from overflowed creeks, but overall mostly fone to play. Greens were in good shape but very slow...our group's biggest gripe was the slow play which likely attributed to very poor golfers with no golf ettiqette which led to a 5 hour plus round.

Best conditions/play ever!

I have had some issues in tge past with this course, but today was great...they had a tropical storm come through 3 days before, and course was wet leading to cart path only which was fine. To me, the course needed this rain and was in super shape. ( best I have seen)...fairways and greens were wonderful..what really made this Saturday the vest though, was I had got there a half hour early, and they had an outting which was just finishing, and the pro said I could just go as no one was ahead of me. I had NO ONE on the ENTIRE course in front of me abd played 18 holes in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Greatest pace of play you could ask for, and lucky me!

Nice day, BUT...

Course over all on good shape..greens nice, but a little slow....fairways alright except for a few spots..but the REAL problem was again, slow play. This group in front of us left their balls on the green to go flirt with the beverage cart girl...we thought they finished the hole, but when we got up to the green to chip saw that they had not completed the hole, and they then proceeeded to slowly put their beers down and rake their time to putt out while their was an open hole in front of them. 5 hours is too long to play 18.

Speed it up!!

They need someone to get out there and speed up the pace.Too many old hacks, new golfers, and little golf courtesy. Group in front of us seriously took 10 minutes to putt each hole.I could see it make sense had they been putting for birdies and pars, but these stiffs were lucky to be trying to break a 10 on each hole. GO TO THE PAR 3 COURSE DOWN THE ROAD!

When you HOT, you HOT, but these ladies were not

Course in FABULOUS shape...everything super except whoevee put the cup placement in on #1 failed to do it correctly. The one side of cup level was about 1/8 " deep while on other side of cup was like 3" deep which made it impossible to get the ball into the hole from certain spots.Everyone complained. Also a supposed regular 4 some of women held up the course hacking all over and running back forgetting clubs, etc. Need someone to monitor these old bags and foreigners and tell them to let people through. This course is too hard for hacks, especially in 95 degree weather.

Back 4 more

Always a treat, and everthing was super as usual...only negative was some of the lousy players not fixing their ball marks and not letting us play through while they held up the back nine. Other than that, we still played in 4 hours.
