Best of the best. The experience is truly world class. Every hole is thought provoking and phenomenal. Nothing I can add that others already havent. Hell’s Half Acre lived up to its name.

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.

Course is nice and conditions are pure. It’s a challenging but fun/interesting play, with typical PA rolling terrain that requires placement off the tee even tho it’s wide open at times. However, the club experience is the highlight. Caddy was fantastic.

Always in great shape but a typical Arnold Palmer miss. Claims to be links but it’s pure target golf. 100% manufactured land. Mindlessly placed hills and undulations. An unnecessary amount of blind or semi blind tee shots or approach shots.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then 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 Pine Valley, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
