Enjoyed the course!

The course was in very good shape considering it's February. A fairly tight lay out with small greens and plenty of winding creeks throughout a lot of the holes, makes this course fairly challenging. Great value.

Average at best

Been two years since I've played, and honestly this will likely be the last time. This used to be my 2nd favorite course in the area behind Turtle Creek. Today was just average at best. Pace on the back nine was not good and turned to be almost a 5 hour round (with a start time of 2;00!). Ranger camped out out the island par 3 instead of keeping others at pace. Many tees were also very close to the blues, which I didn't understand. Greens were great, but some of the fairways were really beat up. Also 90* rule when it hasn't rained in days! Come on!

Excellent conditions early in the year

Always look forward to playing Turtle Creek. Probably the best condition course in that area of MontCo. Greens roll true, traps are always raked, and tee boxes and farwairs in nice shape.

Really nice course!

Always great to play Belle Vista. Play at least once a year and the layout is enjoyable. Top 5 course in Northerm Montco area.

Nice Course !

The course was in really nice shape, and the layout was not only interesting but a bit challenging, especially the back nine. Staff was friendly, especially the Starter, who struck up a conversation, and gave some advice as to the course which was helpful since we were from out of the area and playing the course for the first time. The only minor complaint I have is that the tee boxes were a somewhat beat up, but not really a factor. I traveled over an hour to play this course and was glad I did. Overall great golf course. Thanks.

No Sand Man !

Have played this great course many times, and overall the course is in great shape. Tee boxes=Average, Fairways=Great, Greens=Great. Sand traps= Terrible ! There is no sand at all in every bunker, which is really unfortunate. This may keep me from coming back, which is a shame , because this is an awesome course.

Enjoy this course !

I don't play Macoby Run all that often, but when I return it's always a positive experience. Friendly staff, and very reasonable rates. Played 7-1-16 and while the fairways were very dry due to the lack of rain, the greens were in excellent shape.

First Time

I was surprised and almost feel like Turtle Creek is a hidden gem. The conditions were excellent, and the layout was impressive as it reminded me a bit like courses in Myrtle Beach. It's a bit pricey at times, but to me worth the extra cost. Will play again.

Fair conditions at best

It's too early in the season to rap this course too much but it definitely needs some improvements early on '16. Tees were terrible. Greens need to be rolled as they were very bumpy. Cart paths terribly rough. Our cart was in really bad shape. Seats torn and transmission was ready to give up. The staff was friendly as always and the fairways in pretty good shape. You can tell they need to put some capital in this course.

A favorite

BerkLeigh has always been a great course and never disappoints. Course conditions were excellent, although I always find the rough to be a little too high for the average golfer. The only real negative is the extremely torn up cart paths. Love the course and the price is right.

Cheap but still disappointing

The staff was nice and the layout of the course was good as well as the condition of the greens. Fairways looked to have not been cut in some time, and overall condition was fair at best. The course was overly wet so I would only assume the drainage is not adequate. Other area course were no were not close to being this wet. It was also fairly slow in play.

I likely will not return even with a cheap Golf Now round.

Really liked the course.

Played here while visiting my son at Bloomsburg University. The course was a great value. Good service and the was in excellent shape. The views and the scenic finishing hole was amazing. My only negatives were blind shots, no GPS, and a couple of the holes were quite close to each other. Overall though it's a really nice course.
