Cranberry Highlands Golf Course, Cranberry Twp, PA

Well kept tees, fairways, clubhouse. Greens better than average. For a normal feel of a course, I recommend playing the back tees for all 4's and 5's and blues for the 3's. Most of the clubhouse guys and starters are a little stiff...One guy told me to be prepared to shoot a 100 if I shot from the back tees. I shot an 83. I also wanted some ice to keep my bottled water cold. They said I couldn't have any. I offered to pay $2 for the bag of ice. They still said no. Don't get it. $50 during peak times for residents is still a bit high.

More than any other public/municipal course, if you keep the ball in the fairway you can score well. The reason is that the rough is just that, rough. It's too high for a course like this and it is difficult to find your ball even if you're just 5 feet from the fairway (which really slows down play). The fescue around the sandtraps is unfair in my opinion. If you hit a ball between the green and the bunker (not a horrible shot) and it end up in the fescue you either can't find the ball or you must take an unplayable lie. I don't think that's fair. And for $66 for a weekend round, it's no bargain. But after all that criticism, I look forward to playing this well laid out course. If I can only stay out of the rough and the fescue!

I was passing through the area and picked this course at random. I'd play it again.

Very pretty course, good length from the Cranberry tees only. Rough is too high for speedy play. Should be shorter so people can find their balls that are only 2 yards off the fairways. We waited too long for people to find balls hit into the rough. The day we played it was 7:00 AM and the greens looked like they had seen a long day. Nothing was rolled or cut. Everyone's putts bounced all over the place. Not a good value considering I payed $66 to play a municipal course.
