Echoing all the love for Galen Hall on this thread. Played there a few weeks back as a part of @samba24 ’s send-off. Cool history, unique layout, can’t wait to go around it again one day. Best advise I got after the round was “all putts break with the mountain.” The moat hole claimed us all.
Also played a quick 9 today at Pennsauken CC… wasn’t really on my radar, until Nate from our group at the Steeplechase mentioned it as his regular track. Straightforward but some tricky elevation changes and narrow fairways. 8 was pretty cool with the rectangular green, tee shot going right at the Haddonfield road. Anyone else play there?
@yungloudancolin we booked a time online, but there were plenty of doubles and saw one single out there!
@ChickPhilA nice! Yeah, conditions were great today. Good vibes too, a league playing ahead of us and everyone seemed to be having a good time out there-
It’s my home course in the sense that it’s affordable and near my house. Is it the Augusta of the Mid-Atlantic? No. Is it fun and in reasonably good condition? Yes. Haven’t not enjoyed a round there.
Thanks! The course has really been in great shape. Been a member for two years but have been playing it for longer than that. I can honestly say, this is probably the best season we’ve had in a while. The super and his team are great! Bunkers are set to be completely renovated this fall as well, very exciting. Hop on the list, it really is a great place to be!
Thanks for dropping in @mattmetz4 . I got to play LuLu at a GAP event earlier this year and I loved it as well. I had played it back during when they were building the new clubhouse but played it out of order and with all the construction going on. How do you find the drive from Bucks County? I’m in Bucks as well and always thought the commute might be prohibitive but it sounds like I’m wrong.
Hey Zach! I’m in Chalfont and my drive is no more than 20 or so mins to the course. I work at PSU Abington so it’s great having the course so close. Perfect for a trip to the range, simulator or a few holes after work.
That makes sense you’re a lot further west than me, I’m in the Yardley area. Yardley CC is doing their bunkers this fall as well, seems like it’s high on a lot of clubs’ lists since they were the first thing to suffer during the early COVID adjustments.
How is pace of play on weekday evenings usually? @tenthousanddays and I played on a Monday afternoon ~ 3pm and didn’t wait on a shot so we were thrilled. Also curious if it’s tough to get a weekend morning tee time or game with the membership being capped out right now.
