- The course it self was OK, but the cart paths will kill you, our foursome all came home with sore backs because of the cart paths, won't be back unless the redo the cart pathsBuilt on the northern slope of Bald Eagle Mountain at Skytop Mt. Road with four holes along Bald Eagle Creek, this course is young, but is a real test of your golf skills, especially if you struggle hitting drives in fairways. If you are a bogey golfer, be sure to choose "Limestone"--though only 5770 yards, the next tee is "Coal" at 6453 yards, with forced carries that will frustrate a 200-210 yd. driver. The greens are never real fast, but they are very true, even if rarely "flat". The higher-ground back nine has some visually stunning holes with great views (especially 15, 16, and 18), and is the more difficult nine. But the course is routed with natural "freestone" creeks throughout, especially challenging when a number of the greens are sited just past the creeks, something to deal with whether dry or flowing. Because there can be hidden rocks in the rough, it's wise to check the area behind and in front of your ball before hitting it. The course was just rated by a USGA state affiliate a couple weeks ago--longest (Granite) tee: 74.3/132; shortest (Sandstone, men's) 64.9/116. And the people who work there are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet running a golf course.
Most fairways are narrow as they attempted to use as much space as possible. If you are not a straigh driver you will most definitely spent a lot of time hunting your shot. There is a tendacy for the fairways to lean downhill. Keep this in mind.
Almost every fairway will have some sort of water challange or bog. The course stays wet most of the year. Watch the weather and plan your visit during a dry stretch.
I think the course is worth the try. It is close to Penn State (travel West 322/ North I99, take the Sky Top Road exit, go over the mountain and the course is on your right). Fortunately they do not charge the Penn State fees! You'll save more that you spend on the gas (I hope).
There is a small snack and supply shop available on-site. Carts are available and suggested.
