The Club at Shannondell
About
The Club at Shannondell, formerly known as George Washington Golf Course, has been ranked by Golf Digest as one of the "25 Best Golf Courses in Pennsylvania" and it's also on their list of "Best Places to Play." From the back tees, the course is just over 6,100 yards. Put away your driver because there won't be many chances to grip it and rip it on this course. It's a seemingly mild layout with wide, gently rolling fairways that appear forgiving, but the strategically placed hazards along the pitched greens demand well placed shots. The cut of the rough is also higher and there are several doglegs, placing even further emphasis on accuracy. Proper club selection is also very important on this golf course. The Club at Shannondell is a fun but fair test for players of all skill levels.

Making Improvements
Shannondell is to be commended for improving several of their sand traps, literally from the ground up. They are putting in drainage lines under the traps. The finished product is resulting in some wonderfully refurbished traps.
Excellent Value
Greens and fairways were in great shape! Tee boxes also. Groundskeepers were out working on the bunkers readying them for the spring! Pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back!

The Winter off-season has ended and so you can now obtain the use of an electric cart. The day I was there, it was still "cart path only".
Three greens were closed (3,4 & 7). It was nice to see them working hard on refurbishing so many of the sand traps. The ones that had been completed were in EXCELLENT condition! Kudos to their Groundskeepers.
Don't know how long they are going to keep their low prices, but for now, it is one of the best deals out there.Great value for your money!
It's not really worth reviewing the course this time of year (March). Three holes had temporary greens, and all of the other greens were aerated, as expected. Winter course maintenance is ongoing, as expected. But we played.....and it's March!!!
Nice
Played this course many times. Always in good shape. Gets busy in the nice weather but not crowded at all today. Only issue was they have no power carts in the winter which must be a new thing. So thought I was going to be riding but ended up walking. Fortunately weather was great but my old knees were a little sore!
good conditions, terrible experience
while it was a beautiful day and the conditions were good, it was an awful experience. tee times were literally 4min apart, so we had a 6 hour pace of play. there was no ranger to facilitate a decent pace, total lack of awareness and etiquette from other golfers. really disappointing. could have been a great experience, but will not be returning as waiting on every single tee box for 15+ minutes is no way to play.
Tight fairways at best. 1-4 you're almost on top of each other. And it isn't much better as you continue thru the course

A quality local course
I enjoy this course. It’s in great condition with some good obstacles.
