Slippery Rock University

Slippery rock is definitely not what is was for 2015 worlds. The property is still gorgeous but the course is lacking a bit. I guess they had to drain the ponds due to insurance reasons and what was a beautiful tee shot on hole is now just another overgrown area to throw over. The gold tees were so pristine with limestone right up to the rubber mats and now the base is even starting to fold up. It's amazing what 10 years can do. Again the university property is still gorgeous just a shame the course has to take a hit from neglect.

I graduated from this school 20 years ago and do love that I can come play a quality course here on my alma mater. That said, my opinion of this course has declined in recent years. Let me start with what is great about this course. The championship round of the 2015 Worlds played here and the course earned that. The first time I played this course I was wowed by how much it felt like a real tour course. Where so many of our courses are Lazer lines in the woods, this had big dramatic shots and holes that required multiple placements. It just felt like professional and that made it fun. In the last few years though, it's a mess. That's on the university but still holds true. There has been continual construction to the point that you're never sure if there are 18 playable holes when you show up. At times, it's been an absolute mud pit. Temporary construction I understand but it's been two years. Every pond that use to make this hole something beautiful is gone as well. It's lost a good bit of it's natural beauty. It's still a fun course and the Gold tees are no joke, but don't come expecting 2015 Worlds anymore
