Fantastic! As always! So far, they're doing great with leaf removal

The only reason why I did not give this 5 stars is because the bunkers have not been raked in a while. There's no rakes either due to covid-19. Other than that, the course conditions are outstanding! Especially the greens, which are running probably around a 12. The halfway house food is delicious as well. Can't wait for a week or two when the leaves turn. If you get a chance to play this gem, don't let it pass you by. If this course was any closer to Philadelphia you would be paying $100+ a round. I drive over an hour play this course and I'll do it any chance I get

Every single time it's a pleasure

Everything from what time you pull into the parking lot until the time you leave will be an awesome experience for you! There is only one thing that I could ever complain about this course. Every once in awhile you'll come across a teeing area that is not flat. Other than that the staff is awesome! The layout is incredible! And the conditions are even better!

Coming along...

Seems like this management has a little bit better of a grip on the course. The layout is fantastic and when it gets back to good shape it's going to be one of the best in the area. The front nine, seems to be pretty good. The greens even seem to be rolling a tad bit faster. And I played after it rained overnight. The back nine greens are still in pretty bad shape. You can see new grass growing but don't think about having a true score because of it. Seems like the entire course needs to have better drainage so if it rained within a day, it's probably going to be a little wet

No picture does this course Justice

This is an awesome Golf course and if you get the opportunity go! #13 in PA. Everything about the course is awesome, from the elevation changes to the scenery, except for one thing. there's a lot of teeing areas that are not level. Some of them are just mounded. But do not let that deter you. And it made bother some but definitely not me, it is BYOB. They do not have their liquor license. They do have plenty of water stations on the course. The greens are still rolling pretty quick but they are a little bumpy. Definitely not the courses fault because people don't fix their ball marks.

Nice course

Course conditions are fantastic! One thing I did notice that I'm not a fan of is the teeing areas are not level.
A little bit on the short side as many holes are 330 to 370 yrds and straight ahead. The layout is a little on the boring side. It does not seem like it would be rated as a 130 Plus on the slope. Seems more like a 124 to a 126. Its a good course for beginners. I hope I don't seem like I'm knocking it too much because it is a good course. Just not my style...

Let's start with the practice facility ... absolutely incredible from the grass range to the putting greens to the practice bunkers and chipping areas.

Very disappointed in the conditions of the greens

This is an awesome course! But this time around I was sadly disappointed in the condition of the greens! The scores always had a problem with people not fixing their ball marks but they were always on the faster side and pretty smooth. They were the exact opposite! Incredibly slow and very bumpy and spotty... I will definitely go back but it won't be for a few weeks at least

We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We appreciate your patience as the course has received a lot of play this peak season. As the course continues to transition we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.

Still early spring conditions

Bella Vista is an awesome Golf course with an incredible layout! Elevation changes are on many holes and some well-placed ponds. If you haven't been here you're missing out.
It's getting close! Next week will be much better I guarantee it! Not that it was bad on the greens but when they are able to cut and roll this course is going to snap back into great condition!

Perfect! A must play!

How else can I describe Wyncote? The course layout and the conditions are nothing shy of perfection! Even with all the rain, they still were able to lower the rough. So even if you were just slightly off the Fairway you were able to find your ball unlike every other course in the area. If you're new to the course you should probably stick with the whites due to the course plays longer and what the yardage actually is. Even if you're a big hitter. Trust me, it's plenty long enough for you!

time to come back

Well, they finally got the greens back! I can't believe what a month-and-a-half can do. The teeing areas ,the fairways, and the greens are full of grass! The greens are slow and bumpy but what do you expect for wintertime golf. I can't wait for the spring! for those who haven't played this course, the layout is fantastic!

one of my favorites in the country! If you haven't gotten to this gem I would definitely make the opportunity especially before more houses go up. right now the course might be in the best shape I've ever seen it in! Except for a couple of the bunkers that had hardly any sand in them!

This is a Must play!

We drive over an hour to play this links course upwards of 7 times a year because it is that great of a course and It never disappoints! The name Wyncote, in Indian, means wind. So expect it! The conditions are simply outstanding and they have the best greens that I've played in the past month! The scenery is beautiful and you will even hear the occasional clip-clop of the Amish horses passing by. Wyncote is as difficult as you make it. If you play smart and hit good shots you'll stay out of the tall fescue, which is up to your knees, and you will have a good score. Can't say anything else about this course except get out and enjoy!

Disappointed

I couldn't wait to play Lederach, as I always do. normally it's in fantastic condition and it's a great layout. Not today. Many Fairways have patches of what looks to be a disease. What else could it be, we just came off the wettest July on record...
the greens were bumpy and slow as well. Let's just hope it's temporary because this is a GREAT COURSE!

The wet season is causing maintenance headaches. I heard that this course had to spend 5k additional to keep insects down as a result.

For anyone that never played this course, GO!!!! The layout is fantastic! You will not be disappointed!
Course conditions are outstanding and I would have given it a 5, If it wasn't for the greens not being lightning fast like normal. They roll true but just not as fast as normal. Actually baffling my buddy and me. maybe they just weren't as dry as we thought.. do not let that deter you from going because it's that special!

Fun course but play the correct tees!

If it wasn't for the pace of play, I would have given this 5 stars. What a great Golf Course and if you haven't played here yet make sure you do! The course is in fantastic condition! The greens are extremely fast, true, and undulated! I'm not from the area and I was paired up with a threesome. They were incredibly nice guys, also incredibly slow. The round took 5 hours and 15 minutes and we constantly had people on our tail. What was even stranger, was the fact that we were keeping up with the foursome in front of us and had to wait on them as well. And they were keeping up with the other foursomes . The only thing I could think of is that people are not playing from the correct tees! In turn I could not get into a rhythm at all and shot the worst round that I've had in years. Can't wait to get back to this course for some Revenge!

Better than I thought it was going to be

I was pleasantly surprised at the course and most of the conditions. The course itself is interesting . You don't need a driver on every hole and it's pretty wide open. For the majority it was in pretty decent shape, but there were areas on some of the greens that we're incredibly bad with either damage from the hot dry summer or some kind of disease. They also need more people working there. They only had one person working both the pro shop and the snack bar. I wanted to get a Gatorade before my round and I had to wait for 6 people to check in and pay for the round.

What a great course!

If you haven't played here yet, put it on your bucket list it is a must-play. My golf buddies and I drive over an hour and a half to play here at least twice a year because it's such a great course. For the upper level course that it is, it is not an expensive round and you can usually find a great deal on golf now. The conditions are always stellar and so are some of the views especially the first hole. One word of advice, make sure you play the proper tee box. It's only 6300 from the Blues but it is sloped at 135. Which I think is a little bit low. Should be around 138.

Nothing incredibly hard, a fun course to play

Harbor Pines is a very good course. Nothing incredibly difficult. Everything is right in front of you, so there's no surprises. The course is in fantastic shape tee to green. Greens are fast and true . The only problem that I came across are the bunkers. They have not done any maintenance in days. I found myself raking the bunkers and then replacing my ball because I couldn't swing at my ball in a footprint 4 inches deep.

Awesome views and Incredibly windy!

The first couple of holes you'll feel like a god on a tee! Then you turn around into the wind and you wished you were playing from the seniors. On my Approach shot, first hole into the wind, I was a hundred and thirty three yards out. I used a 6-iron which I normally hit 170. The ball actually came backwards and into the center of the green!
The views are outstanding especially if you've never played in Ocean course. The overall conditions of the course are pretty good except the rough was long and I did lose two balls in it. Both were just off the Fairway.
