Piney Apple Golf Course

Great course with a friendly staff. Lovely rural setting. The fairways and greens were in good shape. I will definitely come again when I am in the area.

What a wonderful surprise we found in apple country! Just a short drive from Gettysburg, this course is a true gem. Family owned and operated, this course is well maintained and offers plenty of surprises as you traverse the course. The fairways are wide but ball placement is still vital. Each hole has it’s own quirks, making any round fun, frustrating, and exciting. The grass on the green collars will stop your ball in a second, and the rough will grab and hold any wayward shot. This was my first time at this course, so a tough round was in store. But don’t let it stop you from coming back. This is the type if course that is sure to play different everytime. Friendly staff, spotless facilities, and great carts all add up to a fun day on the links.

I love this course! Very well maintained greens, bunkers, fairways, tee boxes, everything. Fast electric carts with ball and club scrubbers. Super nice and humble staff. The views of the surrounding landscape are amazing. Not a super long course but each hole has its own unique twist, and some of the longest par threes I’ve played. Price is very reasonable 20 – 40. Course truly is a gem, and the fact it was built by one small family is remarkable. So show some respect and give this gorgeous golf course a try!

Tee Time Golf Pass Users Beware:
Piney Apple advertises the following «deal» in the book.
«One free play with one paid M-​Th after 10am; Fri, weekends and holidays after 1pm. Unlimited. Offer based on regular rates only. Cash only.»
I went there today (Sunday), after 1:00 with the expectation of getting a free round with one paid. I presented my book, they initialed it and charged me $ 23. My friend, who was my paid partner to get the deal, does not have tee time book. He was charged $ 25. Upon questioning, I was told $ 23 is the manadatory cart fee on the weekend (meaning greens fees are only $ 2?).
This is at best false advertisement, and bordering on lying. This was not a «free play with one paid»
Although I enjoyed my round today, I will never be returning and can not recommend this course due to this deceptive advertising, and outright lies.
I have contacted the course and TeeTime Golf Pass to make sure this deal is honored appropriately, and will update this review if/​when I hear back from them.
If anyone planned on using the Tee Time Golf Pass book and you have changed your mind based on my review, please mark this review as helpful. I want them to know the customers they’ve lost due to their dishonest advertising.
*UPDATE: I have received an explanation from the course. Long story short, after some voodoo math they arrive at a cost of $ 23 each for you and your partner. Nowhere close to the «free play with one paid» that they advertise.

Friendly service and a great value. The course is rolling deep in the heart of orchard country, but is not overpowering and can be played with enjoyment by experienced and novice Golfers. The course is well maintained with some great views.
