Forcing golfers to go 2 to a cart (Coronavirus be damned), or pay a $15 surcharge for a single. Seems they have forgotten the Governor's direction that allows them to be open if they provide for social distancing - tough to stay 6 feet apart when you go 2 to a cart. Seems like shoestring operation - I predict they will be a housing development (more likely a trailer park) in 6 months. Needless to say, we won't be returning.

We were all excited and looking forward to a relaxing Sunday playing around of golf. When we came in we signed up to golf nine holes. My son is 13 years old and has only been golfing about a year . When we got to the first hole there was a group of three gentleman that we waited on. We waited about 20 minutes for them to all play the first hole. Once they were finished we were able to start. When we got to the second home we had a dark-haired woman who was working that day come around and tell us that we were going to slow. My husband he tried to explain that they would call first in front of us and we needed to wait on them before we could go to the next hole. She also made a comment about how Sunday is not the day for teaching golf. We rushed through the second hole and I didn't even take my turn. When we got to the third hole once again we were sitting there for about 15 minutes waiting for the gentleman in front of us. I was extremely annoyed that we had rush the second hole and I had lost out on my turn only to sit and wait for the people that were in front of us. I wasn't angry at the people in front of us and I didn't believe it was their fault I was upset with the rude woman who came over and basically yelled at us. around the fifth hole, a different woman came over and commented again That we were going to slow. She also made a comment that I was walking in front of my son before he took his shot. The reason I was walking in front of my son before he took a shot is because I knew he could not hit the ball very far. She stopped my dad to tell him what I was doing wrong and my dad tried to explain the situation to her. And then she came over and me and interrupted my husband shooting to talk to us about it. After the fifth hole I stopped playing. I was annoyed that we were rushed when they were people in front of us going just a slow and we were waiting on them. I was annoyed that our game has been interrupted twice to be scolded by the employees. I had spent $100 on the round of golf between the four of us and all I wanted to do was simply enjoy my Sunday morning. Instead I left annoyed I had played only five holes out of the nine holes, my son was rushed, my husband was extremely upset that his one day off a week was spent at a course like that. My husband and I are members at Quail Hollow country club and we wanted to try I different golf course that was out by my dads house. We had plans to go to the wineries afterwards. I would never in 1 million years recommend anybody to golf at Erie Shores golf course. It had to be the single most annoying round of golf I have ever played. my dad has been playing golf for over 20 years, my husband has been golfing for over 10 years, and I have been golfing for five years so I am very well aware of golf etiquette. And the way we were treated so rudely by the employees there and how we were rushed was unacceptable. I most definitely will never return to that course again and anybody I play golf with in the future I will let know how we were treated and recommend that they never step foot on that golf course either. It was a complete waste of money and of our Sunday morning.

It's really doesn't drain well if it rains and the fairways are weedy and the greens are meh.There is just nothing special here " a bad day here is better than a good day at work" I guess sums it up. I guess the most enjoyment I got from playing here is the fact that I've played with some special people that were in my life at the time so that make me smile, otherwise its just a step above a hay field that would better used for growing grapes since this is the beginning of wine country. If you must play and you find yourself in the middle of nowhere play it otherwise drive a little further down the road.

So, my Girlfriend and I went to Meadville to go to a musical that one of our friends from Pittsburgh was starring in. We decided to stay in an AirBnb in Venango, and for dinner I liked what I saw on the reviews for the V.V. Inn. We were pleasantly surprised to say the least. First, we had reservations for 5, but were ready to eat earlier, so we went and sat at the bar instead. The bartender was slammed with local golfers, but she was killing it. Got us our drinks and menus in no time. We ordered the mussels and stuffed peppers to start, and decided to split the blackened prime rib as our entree. The food was amazing. The stuffed peppers were some of the best that I've ever had, the red sauce was perfect. The mussels were also delicious, although the texture was a little on the mushy side. Lastly, the prime rib with veggies were divine. I've never had vegetables that really blew me away, but both me and my GF were amazed. Overall, the prices were great, the drinks were on point, the service was top notch, and the food was superb. The Venango Valley Inn could go toe to toe with any restaurant in Pittsburgh. We will most definitely be back.
