Pine Valley Golf Club Review

Simply put, this is the "golf experience" at it's best. Carved out of a forest, every hole at Pine Valley is photo worthy. Incredible, raw and natural bunker design frames fairways and expansive, sloping greens. Generous-looking off the tee, positioning is everything. Pine Valley is seemingly always looking for ways to improve...never satisfied with being recognized as the #1 ranked course in the country/world. Charlie and his staff are accommodating to your every need...friendly, welcoming and first class. Todd operates a top-notch caddie program. And yes...they emphasize speedy pace of play! And Jose is quite possibly the finest hydration manager in the business. I think it is impossible to ever have a bad day at PV. It is golf heaven on earth.

I was lucky enough to finally see this beautiful course on the final day of the Crump Cup. What's most frustrating is that I live only 4.1 miles away from it. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to get on but I doubt it.

As a Navy Veteran if anyone ever wants to show their appreciation for my service, this would be a dream come true.

The layout is spectacular and all I could do was try to envision what club I might choose at any given distance.

This place is truly a hidden gem right in my backyard and knowing I'll probably never get the opportunity to play here is gut wrenching.

The staff that day and the volunteers couldn't have been any more pleasant. I look forward to seeing it again next year if possible.

I have played it several times with a member who also belongs to Merion G.C.
Pine Valley is like being in a cathedral, and if you are a student of the game, the course was designed by George Crump in 1927. and all trees were removed by man and mules. Lots more to say but gotta run

Best golf experience of my life and snapper soup was like no other!

Rode my bike through at night had good experience on the trails until a bird smacked me in the face and made me fall in the ditch. I got up unharmed then a golfer pushed me into a ditch In that ditch was an alien it bit me and my friend John corkmaz. were in recovery but we will be back.

I didn't golf here, but I walked the grounds many years ago. There's a deep sense of peacefulness that's in profound harmony with the apparent challenge of the course. The marriage of game and nature is so perfectly balanced, it seems as if it was always that way and simply intended so, from the inception of both; and may very well be, 'til the ends of time.

I do hope to return, as it's an experience that is rare throughout the world.

Best golf club in the world, the course is always immaculate as well as the staff

Lives up to it reputation as the best course on the planet. Great experience , I can check if off my Bucket List, but would love to go back 5+ stars

Phenomenal golf course. Nature s beauty surrounds the best golf course in the world! Only so glad trump didn t buy Pine Valley and ruin it.

Staff was friendly, accommodating and so very helpful. If you have only one final game, make sure it s played at Pine Valley as I ll bet God s on the hole behind you!

Played Pine Valley during a dream golf weekend, both Merion and Pine Valley in two days. Unbelievable course. The embodiment of risk-reward golf. The brilliance of the design is the incorporation of the existing terrain. It may have been designed by George Crump but equal billing should be given to God.

Anyone who has played golf already knows there is no other place like PV. It is rightfully on everybody's bucket list....

An incredible piece of land with 18 amazing holes. The sounds of a flushed driver through the pine lined valley is amazing. The members and staff were so welcoming and made the experience one I will always cherish.
Snapper soup to finish was also fantastic in a beautiful clubhouse.

Excellent golf course 4 round of golf 18 holes you can't get no better

Simply the best 18 holes of golf found in one place.

The ambience of Pine Valley was exceptional. While the course is difficult, it s very playable. Staying on site was a treat as well with its special order breakfasts and Turtle soup in the understated club house. The Crump Cup trophy displayed a deep history of amateur golf. Great experience

Great play...traps a plenty...bring your game on....super staff...

Its only open to the public once a year for the crump cup. I think. Al Cappone's old stoied hideout/mansion is across Atlantic Ave and through the wooded area before getting to the boys outside reservation lake. Nice area. Green acres

Absolutely beautiful golf course, it definitely lives up to being the #1 course in the world!!!!

Pine Valley Golf Club is home to the world's greatest golf course, so say many golf writers and course raters. The stunningly handsome layout presents as tough a test of golf as you'll find anywhere. "Penal, uncompromising and strategic" partly describe its attributes. "Big, bold and beautiful" are also frequently ascribed.
