This is a very nice course, played 18 here and enjoyed it very much. Will definitely visit again when we are back in the area!
Trey
Good round of golf and the greens were nice but aside from that, itโs not worth $52 to play here. There are a lot nicer courses in PA that offer a better course and are $40. For a course that is only 6,290yds from the white, Iโd expect to play at least 7,000yds for $52.

Golf course is appropriately challenging and fun to play. The restaurant offers a regular full menu with many options, Thursday wing night & Friday fish fry are worth a stop!

Really impressed with the quality of Indian hills GC. Fairways are in great shape, tee boxes and greens are in even better shape! The staff in the pro shop are attentive and treat you like family.
