I believe November 14th is the last day of the season.

HCC is definitely worth playing if you have time. I would try and play the West Course which is the old course. Itā€™s shorter, lots of trees and can be narrow at times.

As resident straight-hitting poofer of the Refuge, shoot that right in my veins.

The West course also hosted the 1940 PGA Championship, and over the years a PGA Tour event, LPGA event, and Nationwide Tour event. Plus Ben Hogan was the Head Pro during the 40s. So a lot of history in that course.

Anyone have a connection at the country club of Scranton? My dad grew up in Scranton playing all the goat tracks and has always dreamed of playing it. He recently retired and Iā€™d love to get out there with him if possible. Might not be this summer since my wife and I are expecting our first child in a few weeks, but might be able to get out in the fall or next summer.

The Member For A Day website currently has an auction going which includes a round there. Hope you find an alternative (cheaper) way to experience the course.

Anybody in here play Foxchase often? I live in Denver (PA of course) and looking for somebody to join me from time to time

I have played it once. So, not often, lol. But, Iā€™d be happy to tee it up sometime this summer.

Looking to possibly get a lesson in the Philly/Lancaster/Berks County area. I have gotten an iron lesson at Sittler Golf from Anthony Schweppe which was nice, but looking to broaden my reach a little. I have heard good things about Tobiason at Deerfield, but wanted to reach out here to see if anybody had any recs. Specifically looking to get a driver lesson if that would change any recommendations. Also looking for somebody who isnā€™t going to reconfigure my entire swing.

Heading down to Hazelton Monday until Friday. Could play Monday or t/w/t in the afternoon probably. Any recs or anyone got any plans and openings in the area.

418

Only course in that area I have played was Sugarloaf. Would recommend. Has always been in great shape.
edit: Also it looks like Jack Frost National isnā€™t too far either. That place is really nice, but also very tight tree lines.

If anyone in Central PA doesnā€™t mind a bit of a drive. Fun 36-hole day planned in a couple weeks. I got over my skis as usual and booked too many times. Calling Monday to give back any unused timesā€¦

Dauphin County golf course could be sold for data warehouse space

This would be a huge bummer. I usually play here a few times a year.

My brother and I are planning a bros weekend in State College this summer and I wanted to get suggestions for courses nearby. I played the Blue Course on campus years ago and remember it being meh. Iā€™ve heard the White has had work done in recent years and has improved.

Any other courses nearby worth considering? I noticed that the old Elks club has been rebranded as Mountain View and is public. Might need to give that a try. And if anyone is a member or has connections to get on Centre Hills weā€™d gladly pay the guest fees to check it out.

Only hard no is Toftrees. Not a fan for several reasons.

Cheers!

If you are willing to drive a little, Sinking Valley golf club is a great choice in Altoona.
