This is golf at it’s finest. Rarely see any groups playing as it’s a small membership with some of the best conditioning in the country. Layout is fun with variety and recently restored to keep up with modern era distances.

Back nine layout is pretty awesome esp par 4 18th with water left, several risk reward holes and a twisty par 5.

Chester Valley is a solid course near Malvern PA. Very difficult to walk as it is very hilly. The first and second nines and very different. First nine is very up and down with a few short holes while the second nine is much flatter and has some longer holes.

One of the best public courses in PA. Friendly staff, challenging course. Super fast greens for the area. Flatish course and plays strong. Fun place and worth the price.

Incredible variety of holes, fun contouring, and great green complexes. One of the few public tracks worth $100 Glenn guarantees to be engaging throughout. While 17 and 18 may be considered the weakest part of the property the front 9 is near perfect and holes like 8 and 15 never get old.

Some of the best greens I have ever played and for only $69 on a Friday morning with a cart this is an absolute steal.

Country club but can get public tee times. For a public course very nice. Great practice area and putting green. Fast greens and fun but challenging course. Some great views on back 9.

Not much of a CC vibe, more like a public track with a membership. Thick rough but slower greens than I was expecting for the course. Pace of play could improve as well give their price point. Compared to other semi private courses in the area it’s below average.
