Mystic Rock has been billed as a top public course in PA for years and I finally had the chance to see if it lived up to the hype. This track did not disappoint. Pete Dye on a mountain with what feels like unlimited land.

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.

While it may be listed at a resort course this is far from a standard resort track. Located in a small private lake community alpine shockingly has multiple lake front holes. Usually this land is reserved for homes but the stretch of 10,11,12 run right along the shore.

Note: this review is of the course back when I last played in 2023. Currently the course has taken a step back by all accounts. Lodestone is an example of how to properly do a mountain course. Extreme elevation changes, large green sites, and heavily tree lined.

A ton of potential with the land the course sits on but in its current state Lakeview is not fun and brutally hard. The majority of the playing corridors are overgrown with huge mature trees to the point of having a 20 yard wide hallway to fit your entire ball flight through.

Wisp Resort is great for skiing. As for golf… $100 for 18 here is laughable. Tee boxes, bunkers, and greens conditions are in comical condition. Only a few solid holes.
