The Gil Hanse designed course played much more difficult than the course rating. The hilly terrain yields many blind tees shots and obstructed shots to the greens. There was much movement on the greens-some of it not quite fair. Hanse developed this course after Inniscrone in southern chester county. That course was a controversial layout and Hanse surprisingly repeated some of the same (mistakes) here. Overall, a must play course that will have you shaking your head.

The staff upon arrival quickly meets you at the bag drop or if you're like me, missed that sign and they ran out to me at my truck. The clubhouse looks french country which makes sense, and the high ceilings of the men's locker room are incredible. The pro shop is stocked with premium brands and even Johnnie O gear which is cool! The course was playing a lot longer for us that day since it had rained a ton the day earlier but the conditions were superb. Tees, fairways and bunkers especially were spectacular. The rough was rough and when I got way off line it got rougher but that's expected based upon where I was! Greens are immaculate. I will say that the practice green on our day was quicker than the course greens, so that took a hole to get used to. Playing the tips left us with some serious challenges out there. Don't let the card yardage of just shy of 6600 fool you, it plays closer to 6900 because of the uphill plays to many greens. Also, if you don't score wel your first time, it's because of the greens, they take a little knowledge that none of the guys in my group had but thankfully we had a caddy to really help guide us! We're all long hitters in our group and he adjusted for our distance admirably once he saw it fly, I think our caddy was an asset to our enjoyment of the day! So why not the 5 stars you're wondering? Well, once we were all finished it's time for drinks on the fabulous outside deck overlooking 18 green, and our bartender seemed seriously disinterested in our party of 8. I ordered a pulled pork which was very good and very fresh but was more of an italian beef style with peppers and onions and spinach, I think it was spinach, I didn't read the menu unfortunately but was told that this was a quick sandwich. The views were great, the course was fabulous, the outside services was fantastic, but the last interaction we had was with a seemingly grumpy bartender and that tarnishes an otherwise special day.

The back of the store has a ton of climbing gear and the backpacks/tents. There's also a nice selection of books and assorted items for whatever scratches your fancy. On the way out, I was pleased to note some items up front benefiting a local non-profit outdoor group (thumbs up!). The staff was also very friendly.

I visited the Goggleworks website (www.goggleworks.org) and was impressed with the options available. Via email, I inquired with my questions and was answered immediately. We ultimately chose a private glassblowing session. Remember when you are choosing to partake in these artisanal sessions, you are paying for the artisan's expertise and sharing of knowledge . So at first glance, it may seem pricey. However, given the experience as a whole, it does NOT disappoint! Our instructor Andrew was awesome! His energy and passion matched our excitement. He made our experience so much more fun with his anecdotes about the glassblowing. He explained everything in detail; we never felt rushed or uncomfortable about our skill level. There were four of us in our glassblowing session. He expertly guided us in the best artisan experience I have ever had. For our glassblowing class, we all chose to make drinking glasses. Each of us chose different color palettes to match our varying personalities. Of course, due to the nature of glassblowing, it was a very HOT experience but we were dressed accordingly and hydrated throughout. After we each had our turn, our glasses were immediately placed in a temperature-controlled device (I can't remember its name) to slowly cool the glass down and prevent cracking. We were not permitted to take the glasses home but rather had to come back another day to pick them up. After our session, we headed back to the main Goggleworks building to check out the art exhibits, gift store, and (what I'll call) the artist alley of artisans' work spaces and offices. We spent lots of time enjoying the space and speaking with varying artists. Turns out that the space is a former goggles factory that was used back in the 1800s and the space takes great care in preserving its history. It's soooo cool. It was truly enjoyable!! I highly recommend Goggleworks! This is one of my most memorable experiences!! I can't wait to see our glasses. Note: We arrived early to have breakfast at the onsite cafe, Thorn Alley Kitchen (see separate Yelp review for more details).

Although this store wasn't on my thrifting radar, once inside I had a case of Deja vu and believe I might have been here in the late 90's. Not really a thrift store, it's a bit strange in the merchandise they carry, as well as layout. There's room set ups consisting of used and antique furniture pieces, many priced much higher than they should. Off to the side is "buyout" type merchandise (think Ollie's) - which was reasonably priced. In the back were older items, well past their prime that perhaps were from a yard sale or picked from someone's curb on trash day. Further in the back is new, modern (although some a bit tacky) furniture that's cash and carry and/or rent to own. Even with the displays the space feels like a warehouse filled with stuff. Somethings were admittingly unusual (throne chair, suit of armor), but most were mundane or dated items you could get anywhere for less. There's a distant smell throughout like musk and mildew. The cashier/front desk had a pawn shop feel and I wouldn't be surprised if that's how some of the items were obtained. There seemed to be some "regulars" hanging out just for something to do that didn't appear to be making purchases. There's no one on the sales floor to assist you. So while I love thrifting and hunting for unusual pieces, this store didn't cut it for me. It's suffering from an identify crisis for one, and has too many things going on to really know for sure what it is - antique store, yard sale, salvage, etc. Prices were unreasonable for the majority of the items for sale, customer service non existent, and I wouldn't pay them another visit.
