W-B Muni

The course is in very good shape considering we played in April, 2025. The only issue we had was when checking in after booking through GolfNow, the gentleman said he could see on my phone that I booked it and paid but he couldn't locate the booking on his computer. After several minutes of trying to convince him I had paid through GolfNow, I finally told him I would pay again and then figure it out after our round. A very nice female worker took care of our issue immediately and gave me a credit back on my card . All in all a great day on the course.

Well maintained. Especially for this time of year

It’s easy to lose balls on the fairway in the fall in NEPA Most fairways were swept clean.

Beautiful fall golf

Enjoyed a great round of golf. Fall in NEPA sometimes it’s hard to find your ball. They’re taking good care of the course.

Solid Course

The people at the course were very nice. The course had a nice layout and the greens were smooth. My only issue was the course was very hard but they said they were preparing for winter and hadn't had any rain so the course had dried out. Late November I am not surprised by this. Would like to play it again in summer

Nice municiple course

The course has a nice layout with good amount of elevation change. The greens were smooth with slightly above average speed. The greens are somewhat difficult to read so take a second look.Because it has been very dry the ball really rolled out on drives but made iron shots a little more difficult. Nothing a little water wouldn’t cure. Very nice over all if I am back would definitely play again.

Needs work

A great layout and a very big course. In better shape than a few years ago, but needs a lot of work. For a Muni it is a good course for the money, and good for beginner's.
