It only cost $11 and the course was well kept with some fairly challenging pin placements. Of course I am a horrible golfer so any pin is challenging. I would plan to go back for the price and ease. Beautiful scenery as it is in the mountains.

Over the last several years I have visited Seven Springs a couple of times to use extra days I had…read moreon my Epic Day pass. Seven Springs is about a 3 hour drive each way for me. Getting to the resort is reasonable and while the parking is mostly free each time I have ended up parking in the East Lot which results in a long walk through the Main Lodge and then to the Ski Lodge; not a lot of fun in full ski gear and carrying my skis. Both of my trips were in early spring so the ski conditions were ok, but not great. The slopes had decent snow coverage but there were large stretches of dirt between the slopes. Seven Springs has a good lift system that gets you up the hill and to the slopes efficiently. The slopes near the Ski Lodge are a bit shorter and generally easier. The North Face slopes are a bit longer and more challenging. The general feeling at Seven Springs is that the slopes are very wide open with not a lot of trees near the slopes. Seven Springs is a decent place to ski, however I find that it is not really challenging or charming. From what I have heard it is a great place for families to have a ski vacation as the lodge is slopeside and there is plenty of family friendly activities available. For a one day trip it is just ok, but I would only go there if I need to use up a ski day on the Epic Pass. Of course if it was closer to me it would be more appealing, also I would expect that if the snow coverage is good it would also be more fun. With all that said a day skiing is still a great day, for me there are better options for skiing about the same distance away.

Had a pleasant stay here for a corporate retreat. The place is nice, but a bit dated. Rooms are…read morecomfortable and the balconies are lovely, but the shower heads are squarely set up to hit you in the middle of your back if you are anywhere near 6'. Conference food was mediocre, but on par with other big events done at a moderate price. Overall, the staff was friendly and helpful, and we did have fun at the bars. Now, I didn't ski there, but coming from the west coast, the ski hills seemed... tiny. Maybe there was some steeper stuff hidden away, and I am sure it would be a good place to learn, but you are going to graduate from the hills you can see from the resort pretty easily.

Voted as the #1 public gold course in Pennsylvania by Golf Week Magazine, BJ was not about to miss…read morean opportunity to golf here. First off, the views of the surrounding Allegheny Mountains and Cumberland Valley as breathtaking. The golf course has five par 5's and five par 3's, including one named "Tiny Tim". The No. 4, which is the "Volcano," is rated as the hardest hole on the entire course. On No. 10, you hit from an raised green over a valley to a two-tiered green with a high shelf in back. All in all, BJ enjoyed this course.

I will say that the course is nice and in good shape, but ultimately, the staff and atmosphere…read moreleaves room for improvement. When we arrived, we were greeted politely by the starter and golf course staff. However, once we were inside, the attitude changed. I can't say if this is uniform of what their experience is like, or of this is just a small blip because of COVID, but the service at the restaurant and bar attached to the golf course was dismal. When we checked in for the course, we were informed that there is a $39 fee for a rider, in addition to the golf fee of $130 per person. While I was informed ahead of time that the $39 fee existed, I will say that of all of the high end courses I've ever played, this is the first course that ever actually enforced it. Not the best value, but I was fully aware of their policy, so I cannot say I wasn't informed. After checking in, we ordered food, and was told it would be ready by our tee time. When we arrived to pick up our food, I was told the food was just being boxed up, and charged for food that had not even been started. 10 minutes later I come to find out that the food had not been started, and I'm now 10 mins late for my tee time. After asking for a refund, I rush outside to hit my first tee shot, only to realize 2 mins later that they had shortchanged me by $13 dollars. Overall, the course is nice, and is in good shape. Having driven 3 hours from Philadelphia, I would have expected a better experience. If the golf and atmosphere had been better, I would have definitely been inclined to come back. After this experience, I would not spend the time, or money coming back. While it's hard to put into words how truly bad the experience was, the overall lack of professionalism and indifference to our concerns is among the worst I've seen at a high end course.

First, the disclosures: - 18-20 handicapper…read more- I prefer cheap tracks w/ no dress code. - I usually walk, and I'm a sucker for scenery. I've played here about 50 times, and I can't believe they only charge $10 to walk as many holes as you want on a weekday. It's $28 to play 18 with a cart on weekends. So, why so cheap? - The fairway and rough grass is basically as god made it. Now, all that said, it's 5-stars because: - It's not an easy course. - The greens are pretty well kept. All the sins of a cheapo golf course are forgiven when the greens are in good enough shape. - It's pretty. It's right there along the Catoctins. - Folks are friendly. I brought my son here a lot, and they never charged me more than a few bucks (if at all).

One place for improvement though that would have gotten them a fifth star was that the sand traps have been degraded. Grass has been allowed to grow down into the sand. I believe that Lodestone was recently named the 4th best public golf course in Maryland. I think if they would have improved the ratings to 2nd or 3rd if the sand traps were back the way they were originally designed by Hale Irwin.

I found this gem through a friends recommendation when I first started playing years ago. Anyways, I hadn't been in a while and went back recently with all this Covid-19 business going on. It was a way to feel like I'm getting away with also not getting price gouged by every course in NOVA taking advantage of the MD golfers coming in to play. Okay rant over. My buddies and I, after a round on this beautiful mountain top course; decided to ask about booking their cottage for a weekend with our female companions (who do not play golf). I knew this would take some convincing, but honestly, the staff is really the reason it was all possible. They went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of every step of the way. So much so the girls actually left enjoying being out on the course so much I believe some of them are thinking about taking lessons. The value of this place is not in their great pricing (and yes the pricing is great). It's in the personality of every person that you get to meet and talk to through the time you're there. We left feeling like we had just visited long lost relatives. There's something in the water up there that just has everyone so much more connected with each other. It probably doesn't hurt that you can find the owner working most days checking in to make sure everyone's enjoying themselves. I don't think if he even knows what the word "no" is, honestly. We will definitely be back and plan to make it a regular trip we take. Thank you so much for all your help SVGC staff! A special shoutout to Janet and Ronda for keeping up with us as our plans changed the whole time leading up to our stay.
