Played the course with a friend after buying coupons on GroupGolfer.com for $19.00 for 18 holes with cart and range balls and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the course. It's a fairly open long course but is above average quality. Landscaping and condition was appealing and we'll taken care of. Course is comparable to Penn National Iron Forge but the greens are just a tick slower. It's aLso comparable to Greencastle Greens and Black Rock in Hagerstown. If there were a few more hazards to have to strategically play around and the range and putter green were upgraded just a little I would have given the course 5 stars. I'll be playing it again and would regularly pay $30 to play this course. Staff was friendly. We played 2 man best ball and waited very little at any hole. Highly recommend playing it. Have fun and good luck!

The layout is interesting, in that the holes are arranged in four quadrants bordered by Route 11 and a local road. #17 is one of the toughest par 4's in the area.

Nice course with wide fairways. Greens ran true and were in great shape with good speed.
