A 1923 par 70 Seth Raynor design that boasts one of the best collections of greens ever created by the legendary architect. This is template golf at its very best. Immaculate Poa greens and approach area allow this course to play firm and fast.

The tee shot off the first is one of the most intimidating shots in golf. Right next to the lunch patio, golfers are forced to hit less than driver to kick off their round at one of the most esteemed courses in the world.

I'm not a condition whore, but if I were, this place would be the greatest of all time. Not a blade of grass out of place on the entire property. Difficult championship test but definitely some fun in there. I love the lack of a first cut of rough. You are in the fairway or dead.

Fantastic track. Will test you with every shot you have. No holding back, just have to step up to the tee box, pull out driver and fire away. Greens are the fastest I’ve ever played. On the first hole, had 168 out.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Pennsylvania. Rankings refresh about hourly.
