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!

    • Day 4- Slow, short swings with short practice club. 
    • Day 119: 4/24/24 Chipping and pitching followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.
    • Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
    • Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.
