    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 Wissahickon course at PCC is a Tilly masterpiece, I can see why he had his ashes spread in the creek. Top tier greens and bunkers, carpet-like fairways and marvelous par 3’s made for an awesome day. Hope to get back out there soon.

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