penn state golf courses印象

I always enjoy playing the Penn State Courses. The Blue course is a better layout for walkers and is a better test for serious golfers. The White plays a few strokes easier, but also attracts more high handicappers, who sometimes frustrate me with their lack of golfing etiquette. Both courses are kept in good shape given the high numbers of players that use these facilities. The club house staff is always friendly and accommodating. Go on a weekday after 11:00 am and walk for the best value.

Blue course - great course to play and very picturesque. But had a hard time figuring out where to go - lacking cart paths in many places especially towards the green. Would definitely play here again.

Despite visiting Penn State many times, I had never played at the golf courses before. Got a tee time for the White course during a recent visit, only to be "upgraded" to the Blue course by the starter due to it being backed up on the white course upon my arrival. While I didn't necessarily play my best golf, the course did have some good variety of holes and some good challenges. Most notable were the fairway bunkers present on a number of holes, as well as significantly long rough that you could find if you were fairly wayward on some tee shots. The front 9 was longer and harder than the back, but both 9's were challenging in their own way. When I return next i'll certainly want to try out the White course, but I enjoyed trying out the Blue and I would certainly return.

I will avoid the White course from now on as it is a poor layout, unimaginative and the skill level seems to be more oriented towards women golfers. The play was sooooo slow - I mean it was ridiculous with some of the kids they let on as they couldn't hit a thing and held up play reducing the enjoyment. They wouldn't let groups pass them on the par 3 holes. Range is great and staff very helpful.

Played the white course during the summer. The conditions were a little rough on the course, but it was pretty reasonable for the cost. It would be much better if the driving range permitted regular folks to use the grass tees as opposed to the mats, but the practice putting green is nice (it has some contour, which is not always the case at a lot of golf courses). The white course architecture is okay - it is a pretty plain course with a lot of reasonably open (and straight) holes.

The course is very well kept, but with the last expansion to meet NCAA expectations, it has become longer and less forgiving. Somehow I mind it less hitting a ball into the water at some other courses than making a good shot over a sand trap only to find my ball invisible in a thick, unmowed section of grass hidden behind the bunker (but next to the middle of the fairway). I play in a 9 hole evening league and there is never anyone coming around with the refreshment cart.

Our son played the Blue course in a junior tournament here. The course is beautiful and open. The fairways are wide and there are not too many trees. The course is in great shape. There is a Turf Management degree at Penn State so the condition of their courses is a matter of importance. There is also a White course which apparently is easier and shorter. It was built in 1922. Don't know when the Blue Course was built.

I've seen many golfers having a great time there. Summertime is perfect for spending some peaceful time there.

Blue Course is quite good; White a little less so. Courses are always in excellent condition. Can be painfully slow on heavy-play days. A big drawback: grass practice tees are almost never open and the mats are impossible to use a tee on.

The course is operated by the same people who run one of the most respected turf grass schools in the country, so this place is always in great shape for a public course. The Blue Course has been lengthened in the last few years to contain the big hitters of college golf today, but from any tee box you will get your money's worth from 18 here.
