Whispering Woods (see sig)?

I also really like Oak Tree CC near Sharon (used to be private) and a few other places. Birdsfoot is cool.

Well, PA is a pretty darn big state...so it depends where, really.

A few places I really like:

Riverview Golf Club, Easton, PA
Center Valley Golf Club, Bethlehem, PA
Morgan Hill Golf Club, Easton, PA (don't love this place layout wise, but it's good conditions and a pretty nice course.)

Driver Ping G10 10.5*
Hybrids Ping G5 (3) 19* Bridgestone J36 (4) 22*
Irons Mizuno MP-57 5-PW
Wedges Srixon WG-504 52.08 Bridgestone WC Copper 56.13
Putter 33" Scotty Cameron Studio Select #2


Oak Tree CC is great, as Iacas has said. I also like a course called the Greens of Greenville, in Greenville, PA. And my 3rd best is...Tam O'Shanter, PA.

The Bucks Club recently changed their name from Bucks County Country Club in Jamison PA about 40 min from Northeast Phila and 5 min from Doylestown.

I played the Elks earlier this summer and its a nice track but those greens are real tough. Plus I love the risk reward holes. If you are ever near the philly area Glen Mills just outside of west chester is probably one of the nicest public courses I've played period.

Blech. I won't get into it, but I avoid Tam O'Shanter like the plague. And that was re-confirmed earlier this spring.
