Armitage Golf Course

Pace of play was horrible, greens seem constantly aerated whenever you’re there, starter was very rude. Had a designated tee time and the back 9 starter wouldn’t let us tee off the back despite both the pro shop and front 9 starter telling us we were off the back. Very rude old guy who said “Go off the front or don’t play” despite three groups waiting to tee off on the front and one group on hole 10 tee box and nobody on the green on hole 9. Ended up being forced off the front 20mins after our tee time, behind two painfully slow groups. Pace of play was about 20mins a hole and waiting 5mins after every shot.

Staff is great! Very accommodating. The cost to play is low. The main issue on Armitage is course design, or lack there of.

It appears they just put in 18 holes on an existing hilly plot of land with little thought on whether it resulted in a good golf hole. So you’ve got some par 4 and 5 holes that have fairways with so much slope they can’t be held. Similarly, greens that have so much slope they can’t be held, even with the most skill full of shots.

I’m one who is generally up for a challenge. But there is a difference between a challenging design and a poor design that creates unfair challenges and this course has a few holes that cross that line.

Good to get out golfing this time of year. However, since it was a winter warmspell, many others had the same idea which caused it to be crowded. Pace of play was somewhat less than desireable.

Course was in great condition for a Central PA course in mid-February. Will definitely play it again.

Wow, the weather was great for January. I started off with a windbreaker pullover on and after two holes was down to just a polo shirt. The fairways were somewhat soggy and that led to 'cart path only' rules for the day. Greens were in great shape. Very enjoyable round.

Links style course with narrow fairways. Not many hazards but errant tee shots and you will find yourself in the wrong fairway.

Well what could I say the weather was great the course was great had a nice day of golf. Very good course well maintained give it a try.

This course is short (especially if you hit it 250+), but it was fun sending it into tight spots. Course was in great shape and pace of play was good, especially considering it was a holiday. 17 is a real stand out, beautiful long par 3.

Pros: Armitage is a nice public course that is maintained really well for the amount of play it gets. The greens and fairways are always in very good condition. The layout is ideal for all handicaps. While not a long course, there’s plenty of trees and well placed hazards.

Cons: The only part of the course that isn’t maintained well are the tee boxes. There’s generally very little difference between the whites and blues here, so do yourself a favor and play from the blues as they usually are in much better shape than the whites. There are inconsistencies in the bunkers with some not having enough sand in them.
