    Yeah, are you specifically looking for a resort? If so, we typically have headed down to the Virginia/Maryland area for those.  I am sure there are some in PA but not as familiar.

    If you are okay with an area with a high density of good courses, I can give some advice about the Philly area.  Basically if you are around the area, play Glen Mills.
    I was going to throw out Glen Mills as a suggestion too.

    Some others in that area that I like are Broad Run and Loch Nairn.

    Some good Pocono-area courses are.....

    -Jack Frost Golf Club
    -Mount Airy Casino and Resort
    -Skytop Lodge
    -Country Club of the Poconos
    Have heard really good things about Skytop and Broad Run.  Not sure how I haven't played Broad Run yet.

    Also, Scotland Run in Jersey is a course I like a lot.
    Skytop is nice. Resort type of place where some holes are near condos and others go through the woods. Some cool elevated tee-offs where you can grip it and rip it. FAST as lightning greens too. Fastest of any Pennsylvania course I've played.

    Broad Run is really nice, but it's also one of the hardest courses I've played.

    Gilbersville Golf Club is a really nice 27-hole course in that area worth checking out as well.


    Broad Run is a glorious. How does Glen Mills stack up compare to it? I have heard nothing but good things about that and also Sky Top.


    Might be playing a course called Conklin Players Club in a couple months. It's in NY just over the boarder. Supposed to be realy good


    Lol that's Binghamton basically.  My hood.  Conklin Sports Park right down the street.  Spent many a many hours there from 4 years old to probably 22.  Driving range, batting cages, mini golf, basketball, ice cream.  Players club down the street.  A nice course.  Conklin sucks though.

    Some good golf in that area. En Joie is where the BC Open was hosted (now a senior tournament). Saw Tiger there in 96. Lots and lots of good golf there. Lot's of the Freds (Funk and Couples). Got drilled by a ball hit by Peter Jacobsen. Felt like a serious bee sting.  Sucked when it was opposite the British and was the death of the tournament.

    Hiwatha links is another solid one.

    Ely Park.  That's my muni.  Probably my favorite course in the world.  Not necessarily for the course, which is a solid layout for a muni but So. Many. Memories.  Hundreds of rounds, gambling on the practice area and when around 18 or so, the bar.  Helped out with carts.  Good times.  That and the 9 hole St Lawrence State Park track at the Thousand Islands.  That was me and my old man's spot.  9 holes followed by a hot dog and a coke then out on the boat to ski and fish.

    Golf is the best. Ah nostalgia

    What sucks about Conklin? Or do you mean the surrounding area? Because I think that's a great course (and I also like saying "Straight Outta Conklin" when I go there). Last summer, I eagled the par-5 9th hole after hitting the hybrid-shot to end all hybrid-shots on my second shot to leave myself a 5-footer for eagle.

    Hiawatha and En Joie are nice too. It's been a while since I played En Joie so I can't really remember the particulars about it. But I played Hiawatha for the first time this past summer and really enjoyed it.

    ALRIGHT FINE I MISSED THE FIVE-FOOTER FOR EAGLE ON NUMBER 9 AT CONKLIN AND SETTLED FOR BIRDIE THUS WASTING THE GREATEST HYBRID SHOT I'LL EVER HIT IN MY LIFE.
    Yeah, the town of Conklin. It is a good course. I said that. Just the town.

    I too have missed a 5 footer for eagle on a driven par 4.
    So we booked a couple rounds at Conklin two weeks from now. Looking forward to it

    This week is a little concerning for me as a Tiger fan.  A couple of years ago Tiger sounded like a broken record with his "speed of the green" comments.  Here we are again.

    Probably my least favorite of the big tournaments outside of East Lake (if that is even considered a big tournament) and the PGA depending on the venue.  At least that's still a major though.  That said, always intriguing as there are so many different winners and such a good field with so much money on the line.

    Tough to pick a winner. Not many repeats, but rolling with Stenson in my pool.

    He looks ridiculous.  And it's 85-90 degrees down there.

    It looks horrible and he's going to be hot as fuck wearing a long-sleeved dress shirt playing golf all summer.  Crazy.

    That was good.  All these announcers are killing him for this shirt.....as they should.

    Imagine he pulls off the unthinkable, wins at Shinnecock completing the career grand slam and the pictures he has for the rest of his life after winning the biggest tournament of his career and he is wearing that...

    Fuck Webb Simpson. I’m hoping for a quadruple bogey on the first for him tomorrow to make things interesting. 

    Tiger paired with Jordan!
