Not the usual greatness

Course is still in late fall condition with 13, 14, & 15 essentially closed for repair. Course is only good for practice rounds to knock the winter rust off.

Bring your "A" putter

Really nice course. Most fairways are narrow so if you hit a hook or slice you will be finding your ball on an adjacent fairway. The thing I enjoyed most were the greens; firm and true AND tricky reads! Most fairways as well as the hole layouts were forgiving but the greens ate up the strokes you gained getting there...lol.

Better than I expected

Lots of forced carries as many holes are bordered by water hazards. Greens were in fair better shaped than I expected; ball rolled pretty much true and many greens were challenging reads. A fair number of narrow fairways so deciding how to play your slice or hook will always be on your mind...lol.

Great sight lines...

Other than the fact the temp dropped 20 degrees and the wind speed increased by 20 mph during our 3.5 hour round (with snow pellets falling at the 18th...lol), it was a very enjoyable course. Despite the greens having been recently aerated, fairways and bunkers were in excellent shape so the course played very well. There are enough forced carries, doglegs, and blind shots to make the course challenging and fun! We will certainly play this course again when we are next visiting family in Erie.

Still has some work to do for the price charged

Since the community is still being built, the course has some construction going on which detracts from the scenic value of playing along the Potomac River. If you plan on warming up on the driving range, get there plenty early as the range is a long cart ride from the 1st tee box - easily 5 min. No one told us the greens had recently been aerated so putting was not as true as I'd like. Biggest drawback on my play day was that there was no water on the course during a 75 degree day and we only saw the beverage cart twice during the entire round of 5 hours.

Excellent as always!

Despite it being so late in the season, the greens were lightening fast; and the tee boxes were is good shape.

For a sunny, warm afternoon in October, we played our round in 4 hours. Great job by the marshal keeping groups moving!

Come for the Challenge!

This is a challenging course; even my wife remarked that the Green tees (which are the Red tees on most courses) were not as favorable as many courses...lol. We were fortunate to play very early in the morning (before the forecasted 100 degree temp) and had only a couple of 2-somes well out in front of us; so the pace of play was great and ended up being <4 hours.

There are many, many forced carries you must negotiate and several water hazards. Only a couple of the greens were in below average shape; all were pretty fast once the morning sun burned off the overnight dew. Fairways were better than most I've played on; and the short rough was forgiving.

Staff was outstanding; amenities were very good. It was worth the drive from TLH and the break from visiting family!

Good choice of the available options

If you're looking to use all of the clubs in your bag, then play this course! Fairways, tee boxes, and greens were in very good condition. The rough was rough; couldn't figure out how to hit out of it during the entire round! And...."water, water everywhere but nary a drop to drink!" Make sure you pack "water balls"...

This TPC course is worth the cost

This course is not for the faint of heart; it is very challenging. Beautifully designed and very well maintained. Would love to play it again to see if I can lower my score...lol. There are forced carries and water on most holes; so if you fade or hook on your shots, your ball will likely end up wet.

Not an easy course; but worth the drive from DC

Loved playing this course; got to use every club in my bag. Tee boxes are very hard; almost impossible to get tees into the ground on most holes. Many, many obstacles to hit over and around; and lots of blind shots. Multiple elevation changes within most holes between tee box to fairway to green. As a result, you get to lay up a lot; probably won't use your driver more than 3 or 4 times in the round otherwise you won't be able to see where your ball lands. Greens played very fast. You have to strategize your play of most every hole. Very scenic. Will definitely add it to my summer rotation of courses and go back next year.

Best Public course in Harrisburg!

For a public course, very well maintained. Challenging enough for you to use every club in your bag. Generous fairways means you probably won't lose many balls but the elevation changes, undulating greens, forced carries, strategically placed bunkers means it always easy to get to the green. Definitely will play again the next time I am in Harrisburg!

2nd time is as good as the 1st

Course was in excellent condition, greens very smooth, generous fairways, challenging from the white tees.

Course could use a few more signs as most holes are far apart. Clubhouse has very good food and an excellent, relaxing atmosphere. Everyone was very courteous.

As an out of town-er, I am definitely looking forward to playing this course again. Great value for the money!
