The best golf courses in Phillipsburg, New Jersey

“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.”

“THE most challenging Par 3 course you will ever come across. So much so, that his greatness, Tiger Woods himself, once played Hickory and shot OVER PAR and was so pissed that he had to turn around and play it again so he could get the better of this monster of a Par 3 track.”

“Very cool course that starts in the trees for 3 holes before opening up the rest of the way. Very hilly course with some very cool views. Par 5 9th and Par 3 17th are the best holes in my opinion.”

“Great course. Open layout and semi-hilly makes it challenging. Not too many flat lies and no holes that are given birdies, so you have to fight for your score. The greens aren’t fast sometimes, but easy to read and flat-ish. Also had a career back nine here so maybe I’m biased”

“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.”

“Might be the 3rd best course at SV but it’s still very fun and challenging. Starts by playing around the Old and really comes into its own in the middle of the course. A few really cool short holes and a tough finishing stretch of 3 long Par 4’s.”

“A really cool modern golf course that is always kept it good shape. Can play really long from back tees. Very hard to walk due to the layout being around the Old.”

“Black Oak is a tough mountain style course. Usually kept in decent shape. Layout is very unique. Targets are pretty small which makes hitting it straight a must. Holes 13-18 are different from the rest of the course and the best stretch.”

“Forest definitely the best at FE. Conditions are spotty, but the layout is cool. A good mix of hilly/flat, uphill/downhill, long/short holes.”

“Love the concept of the holes paying homage to games great architects. Course was in much better shape last year This year the greens and tee boxes were so beat up. Had to fix multiple ball marks just to hit a putt, and the par 3 tee boxes (especially 6) were covered in divot holes or weeds.”

“Fun layout and well kept. Lots of blind shots which were tough to visualize since I had never seen the course before. Definitely a course that I would like to play again after seeing some of the lines and gaining course knowledge.”

“Layout is interesting and conditions are usually good enough. Some cool holes and features with some serious elevation change. Good mix of long and short holes. Not a must play, but a pretty fun day overall.”

“Extremely hilly course with a ton of elevation change. Conditions were fine, but inconsistent as the course is on the side of a mountain. Some great variety with the layout, but no really great holes. Last 4 holes are really flat and uninteresting…”

“One of the more over priced courses in NJ. Avoid at all cost if it rains as this place floods bad and will have multiple holes washed out. They won’t cancel tee time though and will just have you play 9 twice.”

“Course difficult on some holes, basic on others. Very hilly course, decent amount of houses. Big elevation changes.”
