Given the large contingent of Philly folks on this site, I wanted to give a huge shout-out to this really fine track. We played this past Friday morning. It was unseasonably warm at 70 degrees, and the course was soggy from Thursday's rain and the heavy humidity. First, it is a great walking course and they have pull-carts available. On Friday, I would say it was split 50-50 walkers/riders. We walked and played the course at the blue tees - 6200 yards. (The white or member tees play to 5700 yards and the back tees are set at about 6600) However, it plays longer than the card and with the soggy conditions, the 6200 was really equivalent to 6600. This is a 1962 George Fazio design with great green complexes, deep bunkering, elevation changes, and ponds and creeks well-placed. Although the fairways were soft, the greens were not and ran incredibly fast. Most of the greens slope steeply from back to front with a lot of contours. Being above the hole is not where one wants to be on this course.
There is a good variety of long and short par 4s and 3s. The par 5s were shortish on the card, but played significantly longer, with, I think, three steeply uphill climbs to the greens, which were well-guarded by side bunkering. Uniformly, the greens were open in front, although with their steep slopes from back to front, run up shots were not easy.
My only complaint on Friday, was the softness which, made it a long slog. I would love to go back when the fairways are really running. The course was in great shape and pace of play was excellent - we teed off at 8:45 and finished in 3 1/2 hours!
With Jaworski now the owner and operator of the course, there is nothing to keep this course from becoming one of the best public tracks in the area. It was the first time I played this course, but I will be going back. It was fun, challenging golf, pure and simple.
