This place was a favorite course of mine growing up, it was always in pristine condition and very well maintained. I’m not sure what happened. You will have better fairway shots in your front yard. It’s a shame. They should warn people about the course conditions before taking their money.

The course conditions appear as if there is very limited turf maintenance happening. The tee boxes are burned out, the fairways are cracked and burned out, and the greens are spotty. Website pictures are false advertising or memories of a better time.
It is a shame because the layout is really good. The front nine is tighter with trees, the back nine is more open links style. The pace on Friday morning was 5 hours because two senior foursomes wouldn’t let twosomes play through.

Played a scramble here with some friends. We were coming from Pittsburgh so it was a bit of a drive, but we all really liked it. Well designed course that is fairly open with well placed water hazards.

*Note* I am not over critical and I always give places a chance and never judge course conditions during the middle of summer when there's little to no rain. First off I will say everyone up there is very nice, I've never had a bad encounter with the staff for the times I've played there. This review starts last year, we played here a few times and the course was rough, the greens were rough, tee boxes were rough, and the bunkers were concrete. I shrugged it off and chalked it up to the heat and the lack of rain we got, I didn't say anything bad or good about it. Fast forward to this late spring, all the courses around are in very nice shape and we've been getting a ton of rain; we booked a tee time for the late morning and I was excited to see how this place was flourishing because it is an enjoyable layout. I'm not happy to say I gave it until about hole 8 before I felt disgusted I was charged $50 to play 18 here; I felt scammed. Despite all the rain and great growing weather the course looked exactly the way it did end of summer last year, patchy rough tee boxes, fairways were scruff with bits debris everywhere and then the greens were in rough shape too, patchy balding spots with bits of debris all over them. It wasn't just one or two holes this was every single hole. Manor valley, Norvelt, Mannitto, 3 lakes, murrysville golf, and many others are the same price or cheaper and are miles better when it comes to conditions. Even Cloverleaf which is a no booking walk on course that sees a ton of traffic daily is in so much better shape for $27. Only reason I'm writing this is because the place has a ton of potential but by far the worst shape of any course I've played in the entire south western PA area.

Played there 9-3-2025. They should have paid us to play there. TERRIBLE conditions, will never play there again. Made us pay the full rate. Should shut the course down. Only thing green on the course was crabgrass.
