Jack Frost National Golf Course

You gotta go

Jack Frost really is a hidden gem. Its very much resort style golf...except without the resort! From each hole you cannot see the other holes. Nothing plays alongside another hole, houses, etc. You will see wildlife and one of the prettiest courses in NE Pennsylvania. Generous fairways and large (but difficult) green complexes. They always have great deals to play here on GolfNow, and its certainly worth trying. Though its over an hour and 20min from my home, this has become one of my favorites.

Little brother to the course across the street

Split Rock isn't bad. Its a nice layout with a terrific clubhouse...but its definitely the little brother to Jack Frost which is across the way from it. The day we played the greens were still recovering from aeration and the grass length was quite inconsistent, making it almost impossible to hole a putt. I would like to see it at its best, but it really doesn't compare to Jack Frost -- and if I am driving an hour and a half, Im going to play Jack Frost. It would make for a good 36 hole day to play them both...their driveways literally face each other.

one of the best in upstate NY

Seven Oaks is the Colgate University course. Its an early Robert Trent Jones design (like Cornell's course), which automatically puts it in another echelon. While there are always many students out walking about this course, its easy to get around quickly. Its not easy, but its easy to enjoy a natural layout and big green complexes. A gem for this sleepy little town. If you want to be nostalgic, head to Ithaca afterwards and play its older brother, Robert Trent Jones Golf Course at Cornell University (RTJ's first course).

Great course...too bad for flooding

The tees and greens were impeccable but the fairways and some spots between holes were very wet from recent flooding. One of the more difficult courses you will play, especially from the tips. If you want the feel of an old fashioned course with all the meat of today's championship layouts, this is it.
