Olde Homestead Golf Course is one of the prettiest and hardest courses in eastern Pennsylvania. And when you are finished playing, there is a deck that looks toward the sun going down over the Big Blue Mountain. The views on many holes include the Bake Oven Knob, and forests and cornfields everywhere. The Smith family has done a very admirable job at maintaining the ecology of the course and you can see that nature is important to the enjoyment of the game. Streams and ponds abound. Red-winged blackbirds keep an eye on play. Two holes are high, short and overlook drops worth a good laugh. It's a fun course, and the cheeseburgers at the end of the game are tops. I've done a lot of South Carolina gold, but I am always happy to be home at Olde Homestead.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Best course in the area
Condition of Course, Food/ Bar facilities, Difficulty, Ambiance, No Houses on Course
