Not up to Par

Park Hills is actually one of my favorite courses to play, but this last round left a lot to be desired. To start, was never informed it was cart path only. If I would have been told this I would have gotten a rain check. Secondly, while I admit it is still early in the season, the greens looked like they were not fully sanded after aerating in the fall. Still a lot of debris on the course and was surprised for how wet the course was, hence the cart path only. I’m hoping this is just a one event and they will get on track for the up coming season.

Amazing

I am a golf junkie. I talked my wife into stopping off at Pinehurst on the way to my daughters graduation from Florida to Pa. I was looking for a driving range when we got to Altoona. Googled Park Hill and thought it had one. When I got to the course I saw that it did not have a driving range but saw the first hole and thought it was worth playing… I came back the next day and HOLY SMOKE is this course amazing!!! There may be other courses that may be harder or more famous but this course is amazing for the topography and lushness. I uploaded a picture from the 11th Blue tee(definitely recommend the blues if you can do it). Lots of holes slope seriously and it is tough to ever get a flat lie. Greens appeared to be seriously slick if they were dry( I played when they were very wet). The sand is very good. Course was in amazing condition. The pictures I took do not do it justice. I will be back. Strongly recommend this course !!!

Wouldn’t know

Golfnow is a joke!! Got to the course and they very politely informed us that Park Hills did not participate with Golfnow and have many several attempts to be removed. They had an outing that day and unfortunately were not able to get us on. Thank you Golfnow for the wasted time driving an hour to get there for no reason!

Golf Now experience at Park Hills

When checking in at the Pro Shop, the woman attendant was less than friendly. She stated that she had no reservation for me (I had the confirmation on my phone and was directed back to my car to get a hard copy for her convenience to show to her boss). She stated they did not do Golf Now. While I had gone back to my car for the hard copy another many showed up for the same tee time - 11 a.m. with a confirmation from Golf Now. She was extremely rude to both of us as she told us she had someone else booked for 11 a.m. but instructed them and us to go check in with John outside and he would work us in. John was extremely nice and apologetic but because there were 4 groups teeing off at the same time it made for a very long day waiting.....

Horrible Setup For a Golf Course

There is people driving right towards you while at the tee box, half of the tee boxes are so far away and hard to find. There was 4 of us and all agreed it was the worst course we ever played and this year alone we have played about 20 courses between 5 States

Used to play a lot better

I’ve played this course in tournaments before and saw a sweet deal to come back and play. The young man in the cart barn greeted me and was a super sweet guy! The course played extremely rough. The course was not playing as well as it could be. The course was hard as a rock and looked like it hadn’t been watered in days. Hole 14 needs fixed bad! I played there 3 years ago and it had a beautiful pond to shoot over for a par 3. It has now dried up, and they let it get over grown, very disappointing seeing that. Hole 9 had an illegal pin where it was placed on a slope and it had rolled about 3 feet past the hole from a ball drop twice. Also there were illegal pins on 16 and 17 where they were not a minimum of 5 paces off the edge of the green. Another thing that was scary was that sitting on 11 tee the wind blew and it was so dry you could see the dirt blowing away in a dust cloud. I love this course for all it has to offer and the great events they put on, but I think in a couple more years if they decide to start up keeping the course it would play much better.

Nice Course

Short course, 6000 yards from the back tees. Wide Open fairways. An average golfer easily recover from errant drives on most holes. Greens are pretty fast. The course was in great condition.

Nice Place

Course was wet but probably from recent rain. The greens were nice but very inconsistent. Beautiful club house and bar! Excellent outside seating area excellent selection of craft beer. Overall I enjoyed my experience at this club and recommend giving it a try!
