Marjon Golf Course, Roaring Brook Twp, PA

No Tee boxes for Women or seniors. Some holes you are teeing off on hill or slant.. $ price went way up. No thanks! I won't be back

If you’re looking for an easy round in a friendly setting, come to Marjon golf course. It’s a 9-hole regulation public course with some more challenging long distance holes.

The owners are friendly and welcoming. Make sure to stop by the pro shop and chat with the local golf pro. You’ll be sure to get a few helpful hints. There is also a full-service clubhouse with hot food and drinks. The golf carts have been updated recently.

On the course, you’ll find one set of tee boxes. This course is nicely paced and is often very quiet, so you can get through your round quickly. There are two par 5’s, three par 3’s and 4 par 4’s. Hole #1 is the longest on the course at 515 yards. Holes #6 and #7 run parallel to one another, so watch out for flying balls between the two fairways.

The landscape of the course is very wide, flat and open fairways. There aren’t any sand traps or thick trees to contend with. Overall, it’s a very easy course. The main challenge is inconsistencies in the fairway and green.

Even though the course is fairly well-maintained for a Par 3 course, the greens can run slow and there are lumps and bumps on the fairway that don’t seem intentional. Don’t expect your ball to roll far on the fairway. The fairways run straight with the occasional long hole.

The price is fair for what you get. All in all, Marjon is exactly what you’d hope for in a simple Par 3 course. It has the standard amenities, it’s clean, owners are friendly and the course really doesn’t have any surprises. It’s comforting and predictable. This is a great spot for a practice round or a round with a new golfer or junior. It’s worth a regular visit.

This course gives me such a woody I have to jack it in the fairways. Rolling greens.
