Brookside Country Club, nestled in the rolling Lehigh Valley, offers a classic parkland experience that subtly challenges rather than overpowers. Carved from fertile Pennsylvania farmland, the course, while not widely known on a national stage, has cultivated a loyal local following for its playability and mature, tree-lined fairways. Designed in the mid-20th century, the layout features gently undulating terrain, rewarding thoughtful approaches and strategic play. While lacking the dramatic elevation changes of some nearby courses, Brookside demands accuracy off the tee, especially on several of the tighter, dog-legged holes where encroaching hardwoods can quickly penalize errant drives. The greens, often subtly sloped, require a deft touch and careful reading to navigate successfully. Brookside’s strength lies in its tight-knit membership. The Club is known locally for its strong support of junior golf programs. After a round, members gather for a cheesesteak and local Yuengling at the nineteenth hole, creating a convivial atmosphere that extends well beyond the fairways.
