This course was very narrow only about 20 yards between fairway and someone’s back yard. I’m new to golf and was challenged with not hitting balls in peoples back yards. I wouldn’t suggest going here if your new to golf like I am due to how narrow some of the holes are with houses.

Fun little course

From the mens tees (white) the course does not offer too much of a challenge for an experienced golfer, it plays at just under 6000 yards so the driver can stay in the bag on most holes. I found that despite this, the created found a way to make holes that suite the eye very well, and in tandem with undulating firm greens with tricky pitch shots, the course is very fun to play. I recommend this course to anyone looking for a relaxing round at a course you can put a number up and feel proud of it.

Membership fee for 2022

You membership fee for 2022 is too pricey.. You could have a coupon card deal like charging people playing 9 or 18 holes, and a little cheaper for Seniors. You will have more people having memberships if the price was lower.

Solid Course, Tight fairway

Course was fun with good conditions and amenities. The fairways were narrow as it was a neighborhood, but still very fun.

Nothing to “write home to Mom about”…

…unless you want to brag about NOT getting run over by an SUV while driving your cart across a 45mph zoned highway…or navigating such a confusing cart path that half the time was INTERTWINED with neighborhood streets in Anytown, USA…or putting on greens where I’m pretty sure; a football team may or may not of conducted tackling drills on each one of them, just prior to my round…or pace of play that was symbolic to the Shepard Hills GC entirely…summed up in a “C student” notion sort of way; Not surging ahead cleanly, while not falling behind totally.
In short, I won’t go out of my way to play here again given all the other course in Eastern, PA.

Hidden Gem

Very nice golf course with a friendly vibe to it. I drove over an hour to play it and would do it again. My one minor complaint was that they absolutely need better signage to get from hole to hole. Either paint arrows onto the cart path or post more informative signs, but do something! There is no map on the scorecard, either.

This course meanders through several neighborhoods with multiple road crossings. There are houses everywhere.

The course was in great condition and for me, that is the bottom line. I recommend playing the course and will do so in the future.
