Just passing through on a road trip going west and squeezed in some golf in Pittsburgh area while family was sleeping in. This is by far the most interesting and toughest course I’ve ever played. I did used my driver and my hybrids to get to the holes because I can hit straight. If you hook or slice you are screwed on many holes. The steep slopes, thick vegetation, or both will waste your ball. The key is to play for accuracy and not power and you will be fine! The views are amazing. Too bad my photos looking down at parts of the town and river did not come out. The carts paths are downright treacherous so you can’t go fast. But it was exciting. I booked the first tee time and took me about 3 hours with cart path only. Glad no one was in my way in front of me because I was flying and hitting well. Grand golfing experience!

My wife and I played this course labor day. Our first impression was oh this looks pretty cool. We were very early for our T-Time @ 1pm. So we picked up a bucket of balls and wen to the driving range not much to speak of as far as that goes but the bottom line was we were able to hit some balls prior to playing. There wasn't a lot of golf pressure so we were able to get out at around noon which was good as we had to drive back to buffalo. The course was fun lots of blind greens and undulating fairways. The T-Box's are a bit rough but but you have no problem sticking a T. The fairways need some work but are very playable and proper T placement is a must. No worries on sticking a green they were super soft and super slow but in good shape. If you think you are putting to hard think again at times I didn't feel I could hit the put hard enough.
All in all we had a great time and woukd play this course again the views are awesome. We are by no means going pro any time soon so it fit our needs perfectly.
Just trying to give a honest review here.
Hope this helps

Enjoyed this course. Good layout for first timers. Good conditions. Play was slow but that was ok - not sure why two foursomes allowed to play together on back nine. Staff was friendly in pro shop just need some management on course.
