Belles Springs Golf Course
Play an Edmund Ault-designed stunner with today’s feature: $20 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at Belles Springs Golf Course in Mill Hall near State College ($54 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until July 1, 2017!)
When it comes to naming the heavyweights of American golf course design, few names conjure up the kind of respect as Edmund B. Ault, ASGCA. Ault’s designs span the country, from Vegas to Myrtle Beach, but few of his masterpieces can compare with today’s feature course: Belles Springs Golf Course in Mill Hall. Exceptionally constructed and playable for even the novice player, Ault’s gorgeous 18 holes create one of the finest playing experiences in the Commonwealth.
Located in a rural and secluded setting that sets the stage for a relaxing round, Belles Springs is truly one of Pennsylvania’s best hidden gems. The course itself shows off the gorgeous tenants of the Commonwealth’s countryside, and uses all of her features to its advantage. Many changes in elevation not only make the layout look picturesque, they also add quite a bit of challenge throughout – complicating distances and making uneven lies a fairly common occurrence. You will find water in play here, but the course stays fairly open aside from the towering mature trees around the fairways and cleverly placed bunkers protecting the greens. Play within your abilities and create a course management plan early, and a low score at Belles Springs is certainly possible on the day.
Before, after, or even during your round, Belles Springs provides an exceptional set of amenities that you’ll definitely want to experience before your day is though. For practice before your round, an extensive practice facility is available for use including a full-service driving range, chipping green, and meticulously manicured putting green that perfectly mimics course conditions. If you’re looking to upgrade your equipment, accessories, or apparel, the Judd Caruso Golf Shop carries a full line from many of golf’s biggest brands – and you’re sure to find something that you’ll love. The snack bar offers daily specials to tide you over at the turn, and the clubhouse bar, featuring incredible views of the course and surrounding mountains, makes for the perfect place to enjoy a post-round cocktail and toast your scores with friends.
