My top 3,

Whispering Woods, Erie PA

Treasure Lake - Gold, DuBois PA

Old Stonewall, Ellwood City PA

Thoughts? Any more nice courses out there in WPA that you can play?


Olde Stonewall is great. 20 minutes from my house. I really like Oak Tree, which is on the Ohio border in Middlesex.

North Hills in Corry, PA and Overlake in Girard, PA were always on the nicer side of public courses that I've played.  Haven't been up there to play either in about 7 years or so though.

Olde Stonewall is nice but it isn't worth the green's fee.  I mean, who are they kidding, $150?  I think that's down from recent years, too.  I play there when one of my wholesalers is paying.

Cranberry Highlands, Totter Ridge, Links at Spring Church, Lindenwood, and Quiksilver are all good choices in the 50+ range.

In the $35-50 range, I suggest Butler's (particularly the Lakeside course, this 36 hole complex is where I play the most rounds), ,Cedarbrook (nice 36 hole complex, I run a charity golf event here every year).  Also, the Club at Shadow Lakes.  Don't remember the prices, there, though.

Why do I always forget Oak Tree?  It's like that part of my brain has been damaged and I can never remember the course.

Also, although not technically in PA, there are some nice tracks just across the border in Ohio.  Yankee Run, Avalon Lakes, Kennsington, Mill Creek (one course is better than the other, south is the better one, if I recall correctly), Links at Firestone Farms.

Yes good call on Totter!! I play there once a summer on Wed/Thur when they run the play all day for $49. Have played 54 the past 3 years, hoping for 72 in one day this summer. They need to bring back the Rocco tees from before though!

    • I mean it seems like this is your issue, yeah? If you're already at or near a 1.5 smash factor depending on which launch monitor then you're going to have to increase your clubhead speed if you want to increase your ball speed. (Assuming your launch conditions/delivery are also near optimal which it sounds like they are) Are you actively doing any speed training programs like The Stack, Superspeed, etc?
    • Anyone can cherry pick a green shape to fit their narrative.  Now do the same thing but for this green that has an extremely sloped hill short, so good chance to roll back to the water, and mounds long that kick long shots OB. It's like a 175yd tee shot too.    Or this one. Where the approach shot is from 200+ yds with a severe slope towards the water and very tightly mowed sloped runoff behind the green.  
    • In a normal 30x20 green, a left/rigth 15 yard miss is going to be missing the green, probably in the bunker. A short/long 15 yards miss is still going to be in the green. Scoring average is always going to be lower if you have 100% GIR. Unbeatable.  I love this tool I created. Is an spreedsheets that calculate the scoring average of a dispersion in a certain green with the flag you want.   I set both dispersions in order to score as low as they can in this Par 3 from 150 yards, in this case avoiding going into the water.   Option 1: Scoring average: 2.96  GIR: 59%   Option 2: Scoring average: 2.79   GIR: 97%
    • He won the Zozo after that to "tie" Sam Snead. But… yeah.
    • 3 years ago I made a Driver fitting. Started with my on course speed and was almost 150 ball speed. I tested a lot of drivers and went after them with all I had reaching 160 ball speed.  In the last 3 years I improved my swing and now my on course speed is around 158 but no matter how much I force the issue I still cannot hit the ball faster than 160. Not even when I hit the ball perfectly in the middle and gave it all I have, the numbers are never more than 160.. 161. Club speed also is stuck on the same number. On the other hand for every other club in the bag I also started hitting it farther with the new swing on course but I'm able to gain 6..7 miles of ball speed if I go after them. As an example, I'm around 121 ball speed with my 6 iron but I can muscle it to 128 without much trouble and also club speed jumps 4..5 miles.  Any ideas?
