Better than before

For the first time since I have played here, the course was in decent shape. The greens are always fast and tricky, but this time the fairways were in excellent shape. As usual, the cart paths are horrible. No one should use them unless they want to be seeing the chiropractor the next day. For the first time, I Actually enjoyed my round here.

Not for the faint of heart

This course was in excellent shape. Challenging, but very enjoyable! The greens were fairly fast, but I believe they could be cut even tighter. However, they rolled true. The course required you to hit the ball straight. There were definitely issues created by bad shots. Just the way a golf course is supposed to be. I’ll be back.

Fast times at Lenape Heights

A lot of people are missing out because they are not playing at Lenape Heights regularly. The course is in excellent shape, although it is not getting much playi if today was any education.
I had a golf now teatime of 830. I arrived at seven planning to get him some potting and some warm up prior to starting my round. However, there were no individuals or groups scheduled to play prior to 830. Consequently, I got started at 7:15 and finished at 9:22.
Hey fairways were carefully manicured, and the greens were lightning fast. I enjoyed the round immensely.

Really?!

This golf course was in terrible shape. Many of The fairways were rutted and full of pools of water. The cart paths were rough and it was no better riding across the fairways. If I didn’t have a back problem before of the round, I do now. The greens, were in good shape, and very fast. That was the one plus.

Chilly but good

As I have said before, I love playing here. The vistas from the tees are spectacular.As usual, the course was in excellent shape. Fairways were card; greens were fairly fast despite your night rain.The only exception? The sand traps were untouched. This was particularly disturbing since there was to be an outing later that day. I have to admit, I do not understand since the rest of the course is meticulously cared for and many, many workers were mowing and raking and trimming The pro shop staff were particularly friendly. I played poorly the first 18 and was able to play a second 18 for only $12. Of course, they weren’t sure I would be able to get all the way around because of the forthcoming outing.

A beautiful day on a beautiful course

A beautiful day on a beautiful course. Spent a nice morning with regular friends golfing one of the better layouts in the Pittsburgh area‘s golf community. The course was in great shape. Didn’t hear the usual excuses from a course and his staff about too much rain to cut, etc. The greens were fair and rolled smoothly, though I would prefer that they were faster. The fairways were in perfect shape despite the heavy rains we have been having.

Not up to par

I played an outing here. The greens were very slow and pretty chopped up. The fairways were fine, considering the weather we’ve been experiencing. The sand traps were atrocious. They hadn’t been touched in sometime. No rakes available either in the traps or on the carts. There was grass growing in some of them. Very disappointing. I used to love this course. I like the challenge of the tight second nine.

The course was in excellent shape. The greens were fairly fast and beautifully cared for. The fairways were excellent despite the heavy rain the previous two days. The pace of play was great. All in all, a perfect day

Zen golf

And early morning round at Glengary is a way to start the day! Beautiful landscapes, beautiful sunrise, quiet surroundings , and a terrific golf course. Fast, true flowing greens. Well cut fairways. And, when it hasn't been raining for three days, well raked sand traps with lots of sand in them.

Beautiful

Beautiful vistas, fast greens in great shape, fairways cut beautifully. Only negative: first cut too deep. Shouldn't have to search for a ball (or lose one) one foot off the fairway even if you know almost exactly where it landed.

Beautiful day; great golf

As usual, Linden Hall offered a very good golfing experience. The greens were fantastic; the fairways were cut tight; and the first cut was also cut properly to where we were not looking for a ball if it was just a few feet off of the fairway. Beautiful views of gods creation throughout the course!

Morning round

I love the layout of this course. I especially like to play here in the early morning. The views are often spectacular. The course itself is challenging for the average hacker, though seniors and ladies are given (to my mind) far too much of a break. Greens were very quick (a plus); hole locations were often challenging. Fairways were beautiful, but first cut was a little high. One shouldn't have to spend 3-5 minutes looking for a ball in the first cut when he/she knows fairly accurately where the ball ended up. The sand traps need more sand and more care.

Cow pasture with nice greens

I don't like the course, though it has potential. The greens are fast, but don't hold.
Most pin placements lead to putts that roll off the green if they don't go in, no matter how gentle the strike. The cart paths are ridiculously rough.

Worth the drive

Despite two days of rain, the course was in terrific shape. The fairways were cut low. The first kind of rough was not too deep. If you've been there before, you know that the course has a terrific lay out. The only drawback that day was that the greens had been aerated the previous week and we're still sandy, though they rolled pretty well despite this fact. Well worth the drive, indeed. If you like to walk, this is a great course for you as well.
