    A sneaky gem tucked away in the woods of Pennsylvania! Really enjoyed my time here. A few things that stood out were the water tower, the character and views around the finishing holes on the front nine, and the endless decisions you’re faced with throughout the round.

    Fun, BIG, crazy, occasionally misguided — very Pete Dye. Has some great holes, some head scratchers, but overall positive and worth checking out at least once. Expansive, great views, well-manicured.

    William Flynn nailed it with the routing and Hanse with the restoration is perfect . The course was in great condition . The property it sits on suits the course perfectly. Maybe the best collection of pat 3’s

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery 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.
