Fat Guy Review:  My grandfather was a member here, and this is where I learned the game.

Admittedly I haven't stepped foot on the property in 25 years, but here's what I recall:

This is a full-sized 9-holer routed over 2 sizeable hills with some good elevation changes, so it would be a tough walk.  Elevated greens, classic lines, with most holes lined by mature trees on one or both sides.  #8 is a long par-5 built along the hard-sloping ridge of one of the hills, so you're fighting your ball from rolling 50 yards left into the rough, but need to watch the woods lining the right side.  Good quality, semi-fast greens.

The clubhouse had a nice, old school restaurant and grill, and the club also has a pool.

Best Bar Nearby:  The Red Lion Tavern is a local's joint with a surprisingly rough reputation for a small town on the outskirts of Amish country.
