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.

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.

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.

Ridge is a really fun and unique course in the middle of nowhere. It’s a modern layout with plenty of room in the landing areas. Some of the greens are a bit extreme, but still fair if not above the hole. Some great views on the top of the mountain on the back 9.

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.

Springdale is a decent course all around. Nothing spectacular, but everything’s pretty good. A solid range and practice facility and an old school golf course. A bit short for the modern game, but still fun for all skill levels. Conditions usually are good, not great.

Course is nice and conditions are pure. It’s a challenging but fun/interesting play, with typical PA rolling terrain that requires placement off the tee even tho it’s wide open at times. However, the club experience is the highlight. Caddy was fantastic.

Great course that makes you really play the course and not just mindlessly hit your shots. The rough and bunkers are real obstacles: if you want to score then you’ll have to keep it in the fairway.
