    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.

    Standard cookie cutter hole designs, flat greens, and solid conditioning ensures this course gets plenty of play. Sadly the land is extremely underwhelming and the green complexes are incredibly boring. While the course shows flashes of interest from 8-12, the rest of the course lacks any character.

    Incredible variety of holes, fun contouring, and great green complexes. One of the few public tracks worth $100 Glenn guarantees to be engaging throughout. While 17 and 18 may be considered the weakest part of the property the front 9 is near perfect and holes like 8 and 15 never get old.

    Very slow course, expect a long round. They don’t allow walking. Parking can be tough. The first tee box is literally about a half mile away from the clubhouse. No range. Overrated because you can see the airport and eagles stadium on the course for one hole.

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. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Philadelphia, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
