This golf course is a true gem of Berks County. The design is equivolent to many of the great Philadelphia area courses (Aronymink, Merion, etc.). I've played many of the world's top-ranked courses, and this no doubt levels with the best. The greens roll truer than any other course I've experienced (including Pebble Beach, Monteray/Carmel, and St. Andrews, Scotland). It truly is a shot-maker's delight, offering a wide range of choices tee to green, and (if your level permits) I recommend playing the course at least once from the tips- it is the only known affordable tract I'm aware of that will give you a legitamate PGA tour-like experience (just e prepared to shoot a higher than normal score!). Great staff, great conditions, and great experience- I'll definately be back!
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
