Culbertson Hills is a family owned golf course that is owned and operated in by a trio of brothers since the early 90's. They employ a very small staff and keep the golf course in great shape, especially considering the downright horrible weather we've had the northwest Pennsylvania the last summer and a half.

We had an exceptional weather day to play, and the course conditions did not disappoint. The golf course was in fantastic shape, especially considering the horrid weather "spring" we've had so far. The greens had been aerated about a week earlier but had made a great comeback and were a non-issue. The course was surprisingly dry, and in my opinion that the golf course is "always wet" is very overstated. They are currently adding drainage ditches on multiple parts of the golf course to address some of the wetter problem areas that will continue to improve the golf course.

Overall, the golf course is very challenging for golfers of all skill levels. The white tees offer a fun challenge, and the blue tees would really test your mettle at 6800+ yards. The golf course is not overbearingly difficult and is always a fun test. The spring rates were still in effect, $25 for 18 and a cart is a steal but the course is still reasonably priced during the season at around $35 for 18/cart in the summer.

No food was available today, but I have played during events when the snack shack is open and food is served in the clubhouse and I've never been disappointed. I know they do in house catering for small groups and full field tournaments. The bar was open and is reasonably priced for the area, probably considered cheap if you're coming in to the area from a surrounding city.

Culbertson also offers a free app for your smartphone that includes a digital scorecard and free GPS which was really useful during my round, a great touch!

In my opinion, a must play for me multiple times a summer, and a must stop if you're coming to the Erie area from out of town!
