The design of the course was inspired by the eighteen best golf holes in the country as selected by "Sports Illustrated Magazine." It took eleven years to build, and it is superbly maintained. Although it's considered a challenging course, the high-handicap, shorter hitter can have just as satisfying a round as the expert. This is a tight course with water hazards and sand bunkers in play on every hole. The greens are fast and hard to read. The course was voted as a 1994 favorite Public Golf Course in Pennsylvania by the readers of "Golfers Journal." Now offering permanent tee times.
