Great course

relatively flat course, close to the mountains so there are great views of the Laurels. Greens were beautiful and receptive after rains the day before. Friendly woman behind counter and we played off before our tee time since it was open. I was in at least 10 sand traps, which were wet, but that's how it goes ;-) relatively open layout where stray drives are still in play. Carts are electric but older model with little room for stuff. I though they had GPS carts in the past here but not now.

nice greens

old carts, no windshield, rotted and mildew seats. Bald tires, slipped all over the place. No food on a Sunday at 10 am? Nice greens and fairways, rough was not tough but can eat up balls. Tough greens, fast and slope dramatically. Firm though, could not fly into the pin, had to hope for a good bounce and roll.

nice course

Fairly flat considering, very nice tees, fairways and greens. Greens receptive and rolled nice, pretty soft conditions. Play was slow because of a party in front of us playing a scramble. They were just slow all over so it slowed us down. Saw the ranger at the 1st hole but not after that. Alot of blind shots and the course is very close together, so you have shots from others landing all over the place near our group. No bells to move play so on many hole we had to drive forward to see when the group had move on to the green, and then go back and tee off. I cant see how it is worth the cost unless you have a discount.

beautiful course

Played the Lakeside. Both courses look very nice. Going back to play the Woodside soon. Very soft conditions after rain, but we still could drive 90 degrees on the fairways. Greens very receptive, would leave a ball mark from a 20 yard chip. Great layout!

bring your bug spray

Nice course, excellent shape. Just 10 million gnats flying around your face everywhere. It was like playing in a jungle. They must not spray for bugs. Even with bug spray they were all over us. Course played long after a rain, but the greens and fairways are in great shape. Very inexpensive food and drinks. Great deal, worth the drive.

nice little course

After the first 3 holes that are par fives, this course shortens up. Side hill lies everywhere but the course is in great shape. Soft, receptive greens are nice to fly into. The rough was not deep, but it would stop your ball quickly. Enjoyed this for my first time playing and I will return.

very nice

Nice conditions, beautiful greens, very flat course for western PA. Tree lined fairways are tight but open. Mature trees eat up your balls so I had to punch under a few times. Nice electric carts. Alot of sand traps but they were in great condition. Would play here again for sure :-)

sweet course

Very nice course. Only par 70 but I still shot in the low 90's. Many obstacles (water, wetlands, marsh) and quite a few bunkers. Tight layout but well marked by signage to help you along. My GPS did not match yardage on scorecard. Scorecard distances seem long. Soft and beautiful greens, very nice tees and fairways. Slow because we were behind 4 old timers who could barely walk. Long distance between tees so walking would be tough.

not too bad

They have nice, new electric carts. The greens were firm and not holding, even though it had rained the day before. Many sidehill lies and slopes. Many holes are curbed off for cart path only, so expect to walk even if you rent a cart.

muddy and wet

muddy and wet course, had rained slightly the day before. Carts muddy and dirty from the day before, not hosed off. Cart paths are broken up and very bumpy. Rough was too high for this course Shots just off the fairway lost in 12 inch grass. Should not be so high for a public course.
