Played August 5, 2o15
Reviewed by Mr. Tee
We finished off our trip to PA last Summer by sneaking in a round at Lucky Strokes, not too far from the ABE airport. Following Castlegate, we were ready for something special.
Rating:
Par – I was tempted to give this course a Birdie. All of the fake animals were a fun touch and the weird speaker rocks (see video below) were amusing. It was better than the other Par rated courses we played this trip but much like Lahey Family Fun Park nothing really moved it to the next level for me. The 18 holes wrap around a waterway and offered a variety of challenging shots. The playing area was a solidly maintained traditional green turf with a red brick border. A waterfall sits at the top spitting out bright blue water and moves water throughout the course. Solid and moderately challenging course.
Pros:
Variety of play design
Consistent use of animals in theming the exterior of the course
Well maintained
Cons:
Not much in the way of obstacles
Theming didn’t extend in to the playing area
Didn’t like the light weight balls used on the course
