Rude Staff

This course let me book a 1:20 tee time for 18 holes on 2/10. I didn't think my twosome would have any problems finishing 18 holes until I got to the course and saw the message on their chalkboard saying "all golfers off the course by 4:45." I thought this message was old given that it's currently getting dark around 6 pm. I was wrong. We got to the 16th tee around 4:30 and had a ranger drive by and tell us that was our last hole, even though there was at least an hour of daylight left. That was bad enough. We were hitting our shots around the 16th green when a different ranger came by and yelled at us for still playing. This guy was yelling at me for chipping onto the green and being incredibly rude. I tried to get his attention to ask if we'd get a partial refund since we paid for 18 holes but he just ignored me and drove off. I used to play here every week in a league with my dad and my uncle. My uncle passed away unexpectedly a few years ago so I like playing Sportsmans to remember him. That said, I don't think I'll play here again after the way I was treated. This course is usually in awful shape. It's always a soggy mess, even in the middle of a dry spell, pock marked with
divots, and covered in goose poop. You'd think they'd treat the people playing it nicely given that but you would be wrong. There are better options locally that are more well maintained and similar in price. I recommend you look elsewhere.

course nice, weather perfect, but slow play

Good experience that would have been better, if the group of older gentlemen in front of us hadn't been so slow. Weather perfect, course nice. We had to have the carts back by 4:30 and it was a struggle to finish round due to slow play in front of us.

Amazing value for money

Brilliant experience and I will definitely be back when I am next in the Harrisburg area. Arrived about 20 mins before my tee time to learn there was a frost delay and two 4-balls in front of me. Without a single issue they declared I could get out in front of the two groups, and I played my round in blissful solitude in gorgeous surroundings. Good course layout for a mid to high handicapper, with gettable par 3s and a few dogleg holes that required a strategic tee shot, or a more aggressive 2nd shot over water. The 610 yard par 5 (off the whites!) is a good challenge to say the least. Greens were pretty slow due to the melting frost, but some of the downhill putts were still slippery. Staff were very pleasant, and I experienced none of the grumbles in the pro shop often reserved for people who book online. All in all a great morning’s golf, and 18 holes and a cart for $20 is impossible to beat these days.

Good time

I had a hard time finding a parking spot when I arrived. Was told there was a senior outing in the morning. Fortunately they were finishing up their round when I arrived. We went off the first tee and had no slow play in front of us, so it was a good paced round. We were pleased and the weather was great. We will go again.

Sportsman

The staff was very rude, yelled at us for using our cart even though we were outside of the restricted lines, later in the round we were told by staff during the middle of our hole that we had to hurry up because a group of two was behind us. We were a foursome and moving at a normal pace, The course was beautiful but the staff was unfriendly. It was out first time there and i do not plan on returning.
