I've played Roses Run a dozen times over the last 7 years. The last time out will BE my last time out. Tee boxes were a mess. Fairways were as thick as most courses first cut rough or chopped short and burned. The rough was partially cut with clumps everywhere . The greens were an absolute disgrace as they were intermittently bald (literally patches of dirt), scruffy, pock marked, or covered with weeds and dollar spots and they were bumpy and still had aeration holes.. One green was a perfect light yellow and dark green polka dot pattern. The bunkers were the best looking part. The carts looked like they were from 1970 and the one we had didn't have brakes! THIS WAS IN MID MAY! The course had 3 dry days after 5 days of rain....it should have been perfect! I won't go back. Just sell the place and plow it under

Bedford Trails is a hidden gem in the Youngstown, OH area. The course is always in good condition, the greens are quick, the fairways and rough cut and layered appropriately. The tee boxes need and are getting work. There are an abundance of LARGE trees on 2/3 of the holes....you better have a low-punch game. Some of the greens are large and flattish...others are small and very sloped.....STAY BELOW THE FLAG! It has a nice mix of lengths, dog-right and dog-left, and only two par-5's, each stretching over 500 yards. The staff is EXTREMELY friendly and will do anything to help you out. Prices are fantastic, and they run golf & breakfast (or lunch) specials. The pace of play is always good and the marshall is fair and friendly. It is VERY MUCH worth the effort to find it and play it.

There was a 46 month long playing streak on the line. Everyone in the tri-state area was NOT allowing golfers out because of snow cover. Chris at Pine Lakes came thru for us! We were able to get out on February 24th and get our round in. When I called the pro shop, Chris and I joked about the snow and frozen greens...but in the end, he said "Come on out...if you need to keep that streak alive, we'll gladly help out". The conditions were NOT "golf friendly"...but the weather obliged....mid 50's and windy. We walked and carried...played in just under 4 hours...and kept the streak alive! The course DID have some snow on it...some water runoff....some ice....and some clear spots to hit! I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed that round! Chris and Pine Lakes came through. They went out of their way to help us out and get us out on the course. We have played there numerous times at different times of the year......but this round was perhaps the experience we've had there. Thanks Chris....we WILL be back again and again!

We teed off in 46-degrees and sunny weather....putted out on 18 in 36-degrees, 25 mph wind and snow. The course, as always, was in great shape. They have removed a ton of trees, which made a few holes much easier. the greens were rolling well, the fairways were freshly mowed, and the tee boxes were in good shape. We played 10-18 first, and the weather allowed for some good scoring. The wind picked up after the turn and it was a tough finish slogging up the 9th fairway in driving snow and wind. The pro at the shop was friendly, everything was COVID compliant, the pace was great (18 holes walking in 3:25 ) . No complaints at all!

Played 36 on Pheasant Ridge.....wow! I had seen the signs for this course on Route 8 and Bakerstown Rd, but had never played it. Got out early and just MOVED! The first 18 played from the tips. What a challenge. Every club in the bag...lots of hazards, good mix of tight fairways and open, great greens with contour, conditions were fantastic! Played the second 18 from the whites and broke par. The layout was a great use of the land and very well thought out...uphill, downhill, right-to-left, left to right, great bunkers, forced carries over water....a thinking and shot making course.. The staff was friendly and got us right back out for the 2nd round for $15! DEFINITELY coming back!!!
