too new to be awesome 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

for a very small group of people, the onsite airstrip will be a big plus; but, for the rest of us, it's just kinda neat to see planes landing as you play 18, being mindful to check both ways before you cross the anywhere near the landing strip. The major pros are golf carts, onsite restaurant, booze, bathrooms, drink service while on the course and a small pro shop. Overall , the course is laid out well, with almost every hole being a new and fun challenge.
You need the map, it's basic but points you in the right direction. what you'll really want to do it look for the white flags with the hole number on them. It's a must another must play course for locals and will be a great country club-ish experience for anyone traveling through PA.

Cons:

-Bad rough on the wooded holes and low ceiling tunnel shots on a number of holes drove me crazy the first time here, but I got over it and had a much better second round a few days later.
-The teepads are not complete and currently are just concrete poured on the ground without any structure. I hear they are getting flymats or something to cover the pads, but for now they can be uneven and falling apart.
-Playing alongside and or near the ball golfers wasn't too much of a problem, but THEY are the priority and disc golfers must wait for them, so that can lead to long wait times if the ball course is busy. Most of the ball golfers we saw were pretty cool and offered to let us go first, but we explained that they had the right of way. You can check the BV website for their tee times to try to avoid ball golfers.

Other Thoughts:

As with any new course, BV will get better over time. A little trimming here and there and actual teepads will do wonders for this place. But for now, you have food, beer, golf carts and a challenging course to keep you happy.
