Rating 70.6

Northampton Valley Country Club, proudly owned by Northampton Township, the golf course first opened in 1963. It is well known among locals as one of the Greater Philadelphia area's best courses. The layout has a classic design with tree-lined fairways and gently sloped greens. Several strategically placed bunkers lurk along the greens and there are a few water hazards that come into play as well. The par-70 golf course is a manageable 6,400 yards from the back tees. It's a traditional design that is player friendly enough for all skill levels but there are risk-reward opportunities that will appeal to low handicappers. In addition to the golf course, Northampton Valley has a driving range with new range balls which is open to the public and a 10,000 sq. ft. practice green with a pristine sand trap for patrons to work on their short game.

Slow play

Even though we played with two old guys we were waiting on every tee for the front nine. The one gentleman we were playing couldn't hit it past 150 yards and we were still waiting on every tee. We get to the 10th hole and we run into grab some lunch and the group ahead of us let's go through. We come back to the t and the ranger tells us we need to hurry up because we are far behind. I told him it was not us the group ahead of us was slow when we waited on every single tee.
He proceeded to follow us on the next three or four holes even though there was no one even close to us.

well kept secret

This course is in excellent condition and doesn't beat you up… The greens are pretty quick and large courses well trapped… Don't let the course rating fool you… a par 70 and has many challenging holes… The staff is great… Would always recommend this course
tee times always available

Good shape but greens seem way to fast

I appreciated the management of the course and how I was treated from the front desk to the getting the cart to chatting with the guy at the first tee. The sand traps were very good! But the greens were so fast not just for me but everyone mentioned it, that it was very difficult to avoid three putting.

Great course awful Bar

Great course to play. Rate of play is ok but the conditions/greens are solid. Bar staff is awful. Expect at least a 20 min wait to get drinks at the turn.

Not allowed to finish round

I had a 12:40 tee time. in my experience, with normal pace of play, a round should take about 4 hours. So my round should have lasted until around 4:40. At about 4:20, the course ranger came up to my group on the 17th hole and told us we had to leave the course because a league was starting. We made him repeat what he said and asked why we couldn't finish our round. He said we could have 5 minutes to complete our round and then we had to leave the course. I don't know many foursomes who could complete 2 holes in 5 minutes, so we left. I won't be returning to play this course again!
