Philly Area: Lulu CC vs. Jeffersonville

[golfday]

Has anyone played both of these courses recently and have a preference? I am looking to play one of them on a Friday afternoon this month. I am not familiar with the Philly area and have never played any courses in the area.

 

From what I read it sounds like Lulu was the better course a few years ago, but more recently all of the information is about the renovations at Jeffersonville. My hunch is that means Jeffersonville is now the better option. Lulu looks mostly private, but the "Member Fore a Day" program would suit me fine for the one day that I am going to visit if it turns out to be the better option.

I've played both (though 3-4 years ago) and really like both but I think LuLu has a far more interesting layout. Even putting the layout aside, if I could only do one I'd probably do Lulu. Mainly because I suspect it will go 100% private sometime in the near future and cut out that "member for a day" deal, and Jeffersonville is usually completely packed and annoying to get on as a single; they don't do advance tee times for singles, you have to call the day of play and see if they can fit you into a group somewhere.
