    Jeffersonville is a very fun Donald Ross design. For a public track in the suburbs of Philly this is about as good as it gets. Super unique designs with very tricky greens. If you’re looking for a shorter course where you can post a number this is a great place to play.

    Around 50% of the original fairway and greenside bunkers were turned into grass bunkers but playing the course as it currently stands there are still plenty of hazards to navigate to keep your attention especially when the fescue is up. The course still tips out at 7100+…

    One of the worst designed golf courses I’ve played. If you are playing here for the first time without someone who has knowledge of the course, good luck. Blind shot after blind shot either up a mountain or down

    Reasonable priced at $70 this is one of the few public tracks in the area that has survived the wild summer and remains is good condition. The greens roll a tick or 2 slower than most but the collection of par 4s provide a variety that few public courses in pittsburgh rival.

    One of the best public courses in PA. Friendly staff, challenging course. Super fast greens for the area. Flatish course and plays strong. Fun place and worth the price.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value 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.
