Detailed description of John F. Byrne Golf Course

John F. Byrne Golf Course is a Public, 18-hole golf course located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

John F. Byrne Golf Course first opened for play in 1931. Alex Findlay designed the course.

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 5,112 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 4,196 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 12, a par-5 that plays to 506 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 13, a par-3 that plays to 120 yards from the back tees.

The course rests in and around a valley with tree-lined and open fairways. Several elevated tees and greens accent the rolling terrain, creating elevation changes.

The Torresdale Creek winds through the course and comes into play on ten holes. In addition to water, the course has strategically placed large bunkers that protect the average-sized greens.

Par is an excellent score on the 385-yard par-four 9th hole, as the golfer is required to hit a long tee shot followed by an accurate approach shot to a sloped green guarded by two large bunkers.

A nice course for an afternoon out. Staff was very good to work with. Course was in very good shape, greens were excellent. For the area and price, you can't beat it.

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
