Skytop Mountain Golf Club

This course has been overhauled by the new superintendent over the past 4 years.It has been meticulously maintained and manicured.With the removal of several drainage areas,intrusive rocks and hundreds of trees, this course has become a polished gem. It can accommodate all skill levels with 5 raised tees on nearly every hole. All holes are separated by woods on each side which gives you the sense you are the only ones on the course. Being built on the side of a mountain provides spectacular scenic beauty. This has become my favorite course to play in central Pa for the skill level, the beauty, and the well maintained fairways and greens. I usually lose a few balls when I play, but I always come out with more than I lose when I venture into the woods to look for them.
The greens fees are the most inexpensive in the area and the quality of golf is the best.

This course has been recently renamed Skytop Mountain Golf Club. And with this renaming, they have greatly lowered the price, 12/19 dollars walking, everyday (which is a great deal, since most other local courses start weekends to include Fridays), making this course a great deal.

It is a very challenging course because of the random hazards throughout the holes. Many "good" shots will end up lost, and a lot of times its worth abandoning the driver to improve accuracy. However, the course is very pretty, and has been very well kept. No brown spots or anything in the greens, and it generally is not very crowded, so it's easy to get 9 holes in. My last round of 9 took about 1 1/2 hours.

The practice facilities are also nice. Grass driving range, and also a 60 yard "practice" hole for working on short game, along with a large practice green.

Finally, the people here are really nice. I've really enjoyed the rounds I've played here. I would recommend it, especially if you can't afford to play PSU blue/Toftrees.
