between Harrisburg Front Royal off 81

[chris v]

theres three possible courses for me to hit on my trek back up to PA from the front royal VA area..sherando, barnett, whispering falls...all three courses have identical ratings. I can only play one..any suggestions?

Whispering Falls hands down.....WF loses ratings due to 1 long walk which people for some reason equate to 1 disc less in the rating. Other than that it's one of the best courses out there

Cool. I like that its more in the middle of my drive back to philly, that will help break up the drive. Would like to hit all the great courses down there if i had more time. Is WF nasty this time of year in regards to losing discs easily in the vegetation?

 

[optidiscic]

I would guess that only 2 holes would be particularly rough with vegetation off the fairways...but the downhill plunge that comes after those 2 holes makes it all worthwhile trust me

I'd definitely play Whispering Falls over the other two. Bring a course map and course notes or find someone to play with that knows the course. The rough was fairly rough with lots of poison ivy a month ago, and the gnats were bad.

Another vote for Whispering Falls!

Whats better between sherando and barnett? Might be able to play one of them the day before i drive back

I haven't played Barnett but I think I would play there over Sherando.

It's only a 9 hole course but if you have time go down 81 just a little bit to Signal View. I've not played the other two you mentioned but I found it much nicer than Sherando.

hands down, barnett is better than sherando. barnett is a great course and worth your consideration if you don't have enough time to play the wilderness of wf.

Good stuff. Thank you guys.

went to whispering falls, had a blast. Took a dip in the creek after our round.

I guess WF was still 18 holes when you played?

Next 9 holes are about 80% complete. Half the tees are done (two on each hole) and all the anchors are in the ground. Baskets should be standing sometime in the next week or so.
