Fun course close to my home

Scott Dickinson always has the greens in good shape, kudos to him and his staff. I play in the Coke League on Tuesdays at Wedgewood since 2005 and I like the league and people in it.

Only the greens...

There was an outing earlier in the day and I doubt if anyone cut the greens on Sunday as they were very receptive but slow. It was difficult getting long puts close. I just came back from California playing a totally different grass and speed and I just never adapted to the difference.

Kudo's to the maintenance staff...

Since we have had no rain the fairways allowed a lot of needy roll. But the greens were absolutely fantastic. They were slower than usual but they held and rolled consistently the same speed. Other Lehigh golf courses would die to have these greens without mentioning any names. And the cool thing for me was it was my 76 1/2 birthday & I shot 76 from the white tee boxes. Memorable day!

Perfect day in January

For winter golf, the greens were in great shape. Tee boxes were shortened but still a great trac.

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.

Practice putting

The greens were perfect but FAST! Make sure you have a little time to putt before you play or you'll be 3 putting a bunch. Once you get the speed down, you'll have more fun on the course.

Great practice facility

Pounding balls on a driving range is fine but I like to practice on a course. Sweet Water is a great value.

Course needs rain

We play this a couple of times a year and I feel sorry for the green superintendent. The lack of rain has really affected the fairways. That said, it’s always fun to play.

Greens were very receptive

We have not had much rain lately and the rough area is pretty hard. Stay in the fairways and you'll have no strange bounces. The greens were very good and they have to be a little slow right now.

Wind, rain and a cold front

We were the only twosome on the course that teed off after 12pm. We had to hide among the pine trees to fend off the driving rain for quite awhile BUT the then the sun came out and we decided to finish. Hopefully we'll play "The Presidential" next year in drier conditions.

Want to play again when the ball is rolling

Course knowledge is really helpful and we had none. Really like the course as the fairways were perfect. Since it rained most of the day on Friday the rough undoubtedly was not cut and it was difficult finding balls. The foursome in front of us were really bad and they topped it off by being slow too so the round was 45- 60 minutes longer than it had to be. Greens are sloped well and it sure pays to be below the hole. I think the course rating should be higher.
