Turtle Creek GC 2025 Recap
October 24th, 2025 – Central PA Chapter of the Amateur Players Tour – Turtle Creek Golf Club
Turtle Creek was in great shape, and we had an amazing event last Friday. The course was beautiful and challenging at the same time. Hole number 8 was dangerous with a deceptive dog leg left that brought water into the mix if the shot wasn’t perfect. Hole 18 brought home some quality shots over the pond onto a downhill green to close the day. The course was very playable, and the contestants were up to the challenge.
Division 1
Three Players entered the mix in Division 1. Coming home in first place was Scott Weiss with a great score of 75. Scott also earned the Folds of Honor-Closest to the Pin, with a shot just over 4 feet away from the hole. Kelly Hopkins and George Steinmetz tied for second place, each with a score of 82.
