Enjoyable and challenging course

Course was in very good shape. Fairways weren't to long, primary cut was playable and you could find your ball with a little effort. Greens rolled well and were pretty fast. Greens also had multiple levels and slopes on nearly every green. Very few flat putts. Much faster and they would be very difficult for most golfers. Plenty of room off the tee and sightlines were clear. Carts were only limited to paths on 1 and the par threes. Pace was quite good for most of the first 9 then things slowed down a lot. Waited on most shots after that. That said, round only took 4 hours. I will come back here in the future.

Great conditions at Mountain Branch!

Are group had a great round at Mountain Branch. We played in about 4 hours, never got backed up or felt rushed. The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating and the course was in great shape.
The areas around the green were lush and full, no bare spots where you ball always seems to find the mud with a clump of grass behind it. The greens rolled true and at a fair pace.

The only criticism I have to offer is the fairways were a little on the long and hairy but the rest of the course made up for it.

Conditions were well above par

The course is always in really good to great shape, and layout is challenging. Greens ran very true. Icing on the cake is how awesome the staff usually is. The overall vibe at Mountain Branch is always solid.

Very nice course

Really nice layout. Course was wet due to recent rains but not terrible. Greens in good shape. Bunkers need a lot of work - that’s the one big negative.

Great course. What took so long?

I always wanted to take the 90.min ride to play at Mountain Branch and so glad that I finally did. The course was not soggy at all and played remarkably well this early in the year despite recently aerated greens. There are many great holes on this course. On the back 9, holes 17 and 18 stood out as great and challenging. On the front the stretch of 4,5 and 6 are also tough and jaw dropping. For Philly golfers like me, do yourself a favor and take the trip to play Mountain Branch soon
