Fantastic track. Will test you with every shot you have. No holding back, just have to step up to the tee box, pull out driver and fire away. Greens are the fastest I’ve ever played. On the first hole, had 168 out.

The tee shot off the first is one of the most intimidating shots in golf. Right next to the lunch patio, golfers are forced to hit less than driver to kick off their round at one of the most esteemed courses in the world.

A 1923 par 70 Seth Raynor design that boasts one of the best collections of greens ever created by the legendary architect. This is template golf at its very best. Immaculate Poa greens and approach area allow this course to play firm and fast.

Lancaster is an excellent championship course capable of hosting a big time event. The yardage is not super long (around 7,000 as a Par 70) but plays every bit of that number.

The Wissahickon course at PCC is a Tilly masterpiece, I can see why he had his ashes spread in the creek. Top tier greens and bunkers, carpet-like fairways and marvelous par 3’s made for an awesome day. Hope to get back out there soon.

I'm not a condition whore, but if I were, this place would be the greatest of all time. Not a blade of grass out of place on the entire property. Difficult championship test but definitely some fun in there. I love the lack of a first cut of rough. You are in the fairway or dead.

The course is short yet defends itself well with lightning fast sloping greens. Membership was incredibly gracious and welcoming. Clubhouse is a treasure trove of history (80% of tour players played the Sunnehanna Am here) and oozes classic faded glory.

A sneaky gem tucked away in the woods of Pennsylvania! Really enjoyed my time here. A few things that stood out were the water tower, the character and views around the finishing holes on the front nine, and the endless decisions you’re faced with throughout the round.

While technically a resort course if given the chance to snag a public tee time this is a must play track. Always impeccably maintained with a routing done with help from both AW Tilly and Donny Ross there isn’t a bad hole on the property.

A few really memorable holes with difficult and large green complexes. The stretch of 13-16 is the best on the course, with a Par 3 over a Quarry, an uphill par 4, and then a super downhill Par 3.

I was fortunate to play the Old Course at Saucon about 3 weeks before the United States Senior Open was held. The course was in unbelievable shape and had the grandstands up which was awesome to see. The old course is my favorite of the 3 at Saucon Valley.
