Reviews
Once a PA public course gem, the conditions of toms run have hit a new low. Dead spots on most greens(some with 0 grass), rough tee box’s, and brown fairways all lead to a disappointing experience. The land and the layout remain fun and engaging but until conditions improve I can’t recommend playing. Major changes are needed to return this course to its former glory but it still possess great bones and I hold out hope.
