scenery and the area has many other nice courses for a more reasonable price

conditioning, bunkers, tee boxes and value, driving range is a joke

there is no denying that these courses are very nice, however, they are way overpriced. They charge big time fees and I don't think they are ready for the big time. Maintenence was questionable the rough was extremely high and the bunkers and tee boxes were cheesy. The scenery is beautiful.

Well groomed fairways.

Extremely high green fees when compared to other courses in the area who have as good, if not better features.

Penn Nationals two courses are fine; however, there's so many courses in the area that are a much better value that one would have to have excessive discretionary income in order to justify playing these courses.

Snack bar prices try to keep in line with green fees, i.e. excessive.

Layout- spectacular on both courses

Bunkers!!!!
PS No alcoholic beverages sold on course!

I must agree with the previous review generally. The staff is always nice and helpful. The course layout is great, both the Founders and Iron Forge. Tees are good, greens very good, Medium-semi fast speed. Fairway bunkers are very good also- however, if the course wants to charge the amount they do (60$ with cart on weekends) they must add some ssand to the greensside bunkers. There is nothing worse than hitting one of the Numerous greenside bunkers, and blading the ball out of it ddue to lack of sand! I am a pretty decent bunker player, and there is more sand in the FAIRWAY bunkers than the greenside bunkers!!!!

Golf shop- well stocked
Range- could have a bigger hitting area- but adequate.
Pro- Had some major swing problems- was able to get a lesson on short notice- pro was VERY helpful!!!

The staff is very cordial. the courses are immaculate. The diversity of the two courses adds a nice touch. My experience for the last two years has been through a 3 day outing that i have attended that includes 90 holes of golf and 3 nites stay at a Four Points Hotel in Chambersburg all arrainged by the course, you make one payment at the course and no other payments it takes care of the hotel and the golf. the hotel is also very accomidating and has nice rooms. Just a side note in Chambersburg there is a restaurant called the Cottage that has delicious food at VERY reasonable prices.(stay away from the hotel restaurant, even for breakfast.)

Make sure you have extra balls the high grass on the Iron Forge is a Killer, however both courses are highly recommend.

There are 2 courses at this club the Founders and the Iron Forge, both are fantastic and completely oposite of each other.
First the Iron Forge, a course reminding me of Scotland, no Trees just narrow fairways cut through acres of tall grasses.
Second, Founders, the typical pennsylvania course with tons of trees and narrow fairways.
Both courses are maintained beautifully. perfect, true greens and wonderfully manicured fairways
