Always a great round

This course is a “go to” and probably my favorite course in Lehigh Valley…it’s close to home, the greens and course conditions are always on point, and the staff is awesome! The Bar n grill has delicious food, cold beers, and wing nights! Great for golfing a round and dinner afterwards!!! Shepherd Hills continues to get better each year!

Not as tight as other reviews say

Length is on the short side making it ideal for shorter hitters. Although some of the fairways are narrow, the rough is plenty wide for players with issues not to loose balls. The course is intertwined with a residential neighborhood which is a little odd but fairways and greens were in nice condition. Greens were also on the small side as well as being fast and undulating making them challenging. My only complaints are that my cart was excessively jerky and there is no range here

Really rough shape

Generally like playing here, but it was really badly beat up - pretty much everywhere. LOTS of work needed to get ready for golf season. Will come back and try it again in a month or so.

Greens and Tees Upgraded

When the warm weather'gets here the condition of reseeded greens and upgrdaded tees is going to make this course a pure gem. Facilities upgrade to bar/ restaurants/ outdoor deck will be done and in full swing for a great season. WELL DONE

Greens were very receptive

Enjoyed my round with Jim, Woody & Roger as we teed off from three different tee boxes. They were very cordial to me! I believe the USGA should rate Shepherd Hills with higher slope numbers as it is a tricky course for me.

This course is good for beginners.

The course wasn’t very crowded, so the pace was much better than the last time we played here.

Decent course

There were some areas of the fairway that had standing water, the greens were slow but in good shape overall.

Nice day at Shepherd Hills

Course was pleasantly green and soft, especially considering the very hot and dry weather we are experiencing this summer.

Nice Layout, Painfully Slow Greens

Shepherd Hills is a nice neighborhood course. It's a pretty nice layout with some challenging holes. My biggest complaint is that the greens might be the slowest I've ever played on in my life. I don't know if they've ever been rolled. And while not the fault of the course, someone in front of us played in baseball cleats leaving the already soft greens in even worse condition.
