Nestled in the rolling hills west of Allentown, Shepherd Hills Golf Club offers a challenging, yet welcoming experience steeped in local tradition. Carved from the Pennsylvania countryside in the late 1960s, the course presents a classic parkland layout characterized by tree-lined fairways, subtly undulating greens, and strategically placed water hazards that demand strategic play. While the routing does not particularly favor any one style of play, players find themselves negotiating dog legs and blind spots that make course knowledge more important to scoring. Originally designed to complement the natural landscape, Shepherd Hills has matured gracefully, offering a fair test for golfers of all skill levels. It’s a course where intelligent course management and accurate shot-making are rewarded as much as brute strength. The golf course is not particularly notable on a national level, but it has been a home to local club and amateur events in the Lehigh Valley. Beyond the course, Shepherd Hills fosters a strong sense of community. The clubhouse, home to The Event Center, is a popular venue for local gatherings, further cementing the club's importance to the area. While not widely known for a signature dish, the post-round camaraderie enjoyed in the clubhouse bar is a tradition in itself.
