Best find of 2017 by far!

I play public access courses all across the eastern us regularly while traveling for business. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed playing a new course while on the road, and was absolutely amazed that this place is only seven years old, is immaculate condition and can be played for $40 in the afternoon during peak season on a Fridayafternoon. Amazing!

Kudos to the owners and developers of this place and I think you are great proof the game of golf is alive and well. I'll go out of my way to come back here and play again to support you.

PS- food and service inside are both great as well - fish fry Friday was A+

Nice Place- I will be back again!

Thanks for a nice afternoon. Even though the weather was pretty poor I had a very enjoyable afternoon and found everyone there to be extremely friendly and courteous to an out of towner.

Several of the greens had been recently punched when I was there but I was told that before I went out so no surprise. The course is challenging but not a killer and looks to be in great shape.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Rochester. Worth the short drive!

Definitely worth a visit!

I stopped here on a business trip to Rochester via Golfnow and will do so again on my next trip here.

The course was in excellent condition. Greens are fast, smooth and very challenging. The layout is not that long but even the shorter 4's will trick you into a bad score if you aren't careful.

The clubhouse is very nice and everyone is exceptionally friendly.

Definitely worth a visit!

I was in Pittsburgh traveling for business and signed up for a twilight round. I ended up having a great time on a really nice course with magnificent views and really friendly people. The course is narrow and very hilly so pick your clubs and shots carefully!
I will absolutely return here for another round the next time I am in the area.

Well worth the visit-Can't wait to go back!

I stopped here early on a Friday morning on my way between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and had a really enjoyable round. I selected this course because of the high slope rating and the other reviews that talked about the elevation changes. The course definitely fits the bill in these two regards, but the thing that was such a pleasant surprise was how immaculate it was. The greens, fairways and tee boxes were all in perfect condition, best I have seen anywhere this year.
A stop at Hidden Valley is definitely worth the trip!

Challenging but needs more attention for the price...

I played here on a late Thursday afternoon and if it had not been such a beautiful day I probably would have rated my visit 3 stars.
First, the course is a great layout, very challenging I would think for even someone with much better skills than my own. There are a lot of long forced carries on the back 9 which really seem to be pretty unnecessary other than to terrorize people or drive up ball sales in the pro shop.
The biggest surprise I had was that given the great reviews this course gets I found that the greens were in pretty bad shape still for May. I have played at least a half dozen other clubs in the area and found these to be rough, yellowed, dimpled and generally looking like they have been thoroughly trampled with little regard.
The staff (other than the folks in the pro shop) were friendly, although they did seem to be a little aloof for a club that would charge someone $45 to putt on those greens.
Overall-I would still go back again....

I will definitely be going back here again!

It was freezing cold and windy day and I still had one of the most enjoyable mornings in a long time at Linfield National. The course itself was in great shape, and not totally overwhelming for a newer player such as myself. The Head Pro and GM there is a very nice guy and seemed to be super interested in making sure that everyone was enjoying themselves. Lunch at the bar was even good! Well done everyone at Linfield-I will see you again soon.

Great Place to spend an Afternoon

I stopped at Middletown based on a last minute opportunity to spend a beautiful sunny December afternoon on the course. The people here are super friendly, the course was in excellent condition (especially for the time of year), and at the price I got on GolfNow you really can't go wrong.

Great Value - Wish it was closer to home!

I stopped here on my way back to the Philadelphia for a late afternoon round (Thanks GolfNow!) and had a great time. It was a really fun course to play for the first time. There are a lot of long, blind holes and a spectacular island green par three as well. I played in the lat Fall and found the course to be in immaculate condition. Everyone at the Clubhouse was super friendly, and they have some pretty neat built in beverage coolers recessed into the bar.

Best summary of this place is that if it wasn't more than 90 minutes from my house I would definitely be playing here a lot more!

Great shape for this time of year.

I really enjoyed my morning out at Penderbrook. In my novice experience I would say that this course is a more than average challenging with several holes that have long over the water distances from the mens tees. I was very impressed by how well the course was manicured for this time of the year. All of the fairways were free of leaves and the greens were pretty much perfect. I would definitely stop here again when I am in the area.

Tough course for a beginner

Indian Lake is really pretty and worth a stop if you find yourself in the area. The clubhouse facilities are far from the best, but the course itself is in great shape overall and more than challenging enough for me. The only thing I would pick about it is that even though it is Fall it doesn't look like they make much of an effort to keep the leaves off of the greens let alone the fairways. Hence I lost a lot of balls ( a real lot)!

If you are a beginner, or not so great golfer such as myself this is a really good place to get out for a quick round during the week.

Fun and Relaxed Place to Spend a Saturday Afternoon

The course is not in the greatest of shape, nor is the clubhouse but the people are all very friendly and with the price I received on Golfnow it certainly couldn't be beat for the money.

Worth a ride and a look.
