Pros:
This course has a bit of everything. A few holes with elevation changes, water, tight o.b., a beautiful lake, tight wooded holes as well as a signature par 5 18th hole to cap it off. Other standout holes are 5 (can you make it over the lake for a potential eagle?) and 12 (a par 4 with significant elevation, a wall of guardian trees and an elevated basket to boot).
Definitely worth the drive from local(ish) cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Rochester, and of course Erie.
Cons:
It's on a college campus, which comes with it's own challenges. A couple of the baskets were already slightly leaning, probably thanks to obnoxious students sitting on them
There is a decent walk from 9 to 10 and from 18 back to 1 Both are a good quarter mile or more. Make sure you know where you're going. If you want to play the course twice in a day, I recommend playing the front 9 twice in a row, then the back 9 twice. Both make near-perfect loops.
Hole 14 is in the woods and is the only hole that seems kind of unfinished. There don't seem to be clear lines. Hole 16 also suffers a similar problem, though it's not as bad.
Other Thoughts:
I enjoyed staying at Edinboro Lake Resort. They offer cabins right on Edinboro Lake and are only a couple minutes from the campus. You can also usually get cheap lodging in the form of a dorm room from the university. Also, there is good pizza and a couple of antique stores local to the town if you're looking to beef up your day with other activities.
