It's fun! The two routings do a good job of feeling distinct from each other despite sharing a super tight piece of land. There's some awkward hole(s) that are kind of crammed into a corner of the property that I think play super awkward and tight, but all in all, for a course in the middle of a golf-starved city, it's a lot of fun!

Also another amazing green at the 8th. Plus that wedge shot from the fairway is pretty tough considering how uphill your lie is. Easy to chunk one.

Halloween costume roll call! I'll be going as Nelly Korda during International Crown week: In my Nike Skims leggings and drinking a matcha.

Thanks Will for all your hard work! Look forward to see what eggs you all have cooking still!

Aside from the wannabe ANGC bunkering, this place looks like perfection.

Scranton looks amazing and I envy the members that get to play those greens with different pin positions on a regular basis. Just wild to me that he was building greens like that in the 20's but for some reason with modern technology most architects struggle to get anywhere close. Hope you guys also swung by Schrute Farms while you were in the area.

I like how you described the 13th green as indescribable. I found the closing green at Cherry Hill club to be similar, there is so much going on, I could not remember everything. In my opinion, that is when a green goes too far, not because of playability, but strategically. When a player is not able to understand what is happening around a pin location they are not able to make good strategic decisions. I found some of the greens at Cherokee CC in Knoxville to have similar attributes, those are the most intricate greens I have seen.

Rebecca, 37, Aries Sun, maybe interested in fighting Halloween costume roll call?! I’m going as a black cat to a spooky needlepoint retreat, but telling everyone I’m dressed as Justin Rose, posh house cat spooked after my close calls in 2025.

I was lucky enough to play CC of Scranton early this fall. Many super holes, a number of which are discussed in this article. One I thought was particularly virtuos was the short 8th. Its a short 4, straight up hill, potentially drivable, but one learns that if the green is not gained on the drive, the recoveries require high skill levels, including all manner of chips, pitches and bunker shots, to get close to hole locations which have abounding nearby treachery. It looks really simple, but plays very tough, for such a straightforward challenge. Just a great short 4.

I like the way you describe the 13th as indescribable. I found the closing green at Cherry Hill Club to be the same way, it’s so wild you cannot remember everything going on. In my opinion that is when a green goes too far, it’s not a playability issue, it’s strategic, if a player struggles to understand what is happening at pin location then there is not clear decisions. It’s like when the teacher is too smart for their students. I found Cherokee CC in Knoxville to be similar on some holes, it’s the most intricate set of greens I have seen.
