This is a great course if you are interested in Golf Architecture. 14 of the original 18 holes were laid out by Alex Findlay the "father of American golf." As with most Findlay courses you will need to play all of your clubs in the bag and think about how you set up the next shot. Cool interesting architectural history like the "chocolate drops" in the 17th fairway of a driveable par 4 with a slippery green. The course drains pretty good overall. I play it frequently driving out from Philadelphia for a really reasonable walking price. To play where Ben Hogan, Joe Kirkwood, Leo Diegel teed it up is pretty cool.

If you're idea of golf is just driver and pitching wedge then you probably won't enjoy this track. But if you like strategy, history, and friendly staff this is an awesome place to play. I highly recommend. Good weekday walk and the pro Dan Hoban is very approachable, inviting, and proud of the course.

If you like Alex Findlay design this course is for you. Considered to be one of his proudest designs this formerly private now public course plays across undulating topography and has really creative greens that require study. If you are a walker and up to walking the course the cost is basically half the cost of playing with a cart. I went on a beautiful fall weekday without a tee time and played 18 just over four hours by myself and then after lunch decided to loop it again.

I can't say enough about the history and layout. Findlay design has you employing creative shots. The long drive is not always the best choice might have to tee up the 4 iron so that you can hit a good approach. The pro shop is still Byron Nelson's shop where he used his winnings from the Masters to buy clubs and supplies to sell and repair for the membership. The staff was incredibly friendly and I plan on making the drive out from Philly again when I have a full day open in my schedule.

I highly recommend this track.
