Park Hills Country Club

Very nicely groomed greens were well groom nicely cut fairways all tee boxes had a lot of divot repair made footing on tee shots a little difficult!!!! The signage between holes made it little difficult for someone who hasn't played there before!!!! But I would play again!!!!

Up and down, what a beautiful course in the rolling hills of central Pa. Front nine is interesting and layout nice, but when you hit the back nine, you better check your bag for extra beer. Back nine is not for the hacker, which is why most people I noticed quit after first nine holes. Greens putt true, and were fast. But man, course is older in design and I do say I played great and shot 90. Take extra balls. Staff was si kind. I called them and they directed me when I got lost in Altoona as Google sent me in wrong area. Even though you can see course from Route 99 in both directions, it is very hard to find a quick entrance. Use another app for directios. Huge bar and great food affirdably priced, and if it were not for a foursome that played the final four holes like th US Open, I would give my experience the highest mark, A+++. So, I will be back, a plenty. Bring camera, you take photos, believe me.

Played this course in some unfavorable conditions. Had winds of 25 to 30 mph. Almost all the greens had a fair amount of slope on them to begin with, but they were cut so short and rolled so fast it was almost unplayable. Unless you were below the hole and made your putt, your were in for a much longer second or third putt. Just missed a 10 foot putt from a side slope, the ball almost came to rest just below the hole, then it began a slow steady roll 30 feet off the green. Had another ball I was about to putt, and the wind got it loose and it rolled 15 feet down the green. Course was under construction, and it was wet and cold out, but I still enjoyed it. Some beautiful views and some challenging shots. Number 11 from the tips is hit the green or forget it.

Park Hills is a great course to play on. Right now, the conditions are not perfect for golf due to the lack of extended warm weather. Even so, the greens are very nice and will be perfect with some warmer weather and growth. I look forward to several more rounds there this year.

This course is both fun and exciting. It offers smaller greens that need a clean tight shot in. It has lots of rolling hills and fully grown plants and trees around. Front 9 gives you some breaks for that bad drive, but the back 9 tightens up so watch your slice. Has some tough par 3's with water and hills. Bring your short game to shoot a low round. All in All a fun course with clean and well groomed lawns. Faster greens then most courses with average size fairways. The 19th hole was my best golf of the day.
