This is a great course, not too long that you can't reach par 4's in 2 from the whites. Greens are huge and roll true, although tough to read because of their size. Par three's are where I had the hardest time, mostly my fault. They are
tricky from the whites and a couple long ones. The course is scenic and well kept. I've heard that the restaurant is one of the best in the area but have not had a chance to try it. I've played others in the area and Venango is the best.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
Condition of Course, Price, Ambiance, Layout, No Houses on Course
