Course moves in and out through a corporate center. The putting green was in very poor shape and did not accurately reflect green speeds. The course had a lot of strategic holes in which you had to lay up on par 4s.

Jasna is cool new school golf course. A few interesting holes, good mix of Par 3’s. 2 drivable Par 4’s. Has the unnatural look a lot of the TPC’s have. Greens weren’t the quickest but they were smooth.

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 Yardley, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
