Bensalem CC isn’t a bad little spot for a quick outing and should be close. Respect to who swore off Golden Pheasant, not a fan myself. Until Cobbs Creek is back there’s absolutely nothing immediate to Philly that’s public access that’s worth it in my mind. Even when FDR golf course was open it was like playing a barely mowed field. Don’t even get me started on John F Byrne. If you’re in Bensalem getting up to Bucks/Mercer County is the move and again, for something close Bensalem isn’t bad. It was always lower on the rotation and can be busy with league stuff but there’s some fun holes and nothing completely ridiculous like at Byrne. How people don’t regularly get injured there is a mystery.
Forgot to mention I grew up in the town where Snipes is. It’s fun. The shortest shot you’ll hit is ~30 yards and the longest ~85. A lot of the times the greens are pretty slow but it’s usually putting pretty true and in decent condition, haven’t been in awhile though so not sure what it’s looking like currently. They may still keep the lights on this time of year until 10 PM which is always fun playing a little night golf. Wedge and putter is all you need.
Lol. Love that Springfield is allllll the way down at the bottom Used to play there a bunch before I joined Burlington since it’s like 7 minutes away and has a grass range area. But sheesh yah it blows!
It’s also a ripoff. Prices have gone up for 5 years straight and they don’t drop their rates later in the day. They charge $99 at 6:30 in the summer without a 9 hole rate.
Isn’t most Philly public golf over priced? I relish my trips back to Michigan where a course like melrose costs 45 on a weekend morning and a place like glen mills is maybe 70.
Also, should we have @Flex draft up the 2023/2024 Electric Phactory schedule? Would be incredibly interested to see what kind of carnage he unleashes on us.
