About
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.

A little misleading
Paid $28 with a hot deal, cart included. Got to the course and carts were not allowed, not even on cart path only. I had to either carry or use one of their push carts. At 50 years old, I can’t carry so I opted for a push cart that may have been older than me. It had a single Velcro strap that held for about 10 yards and gave up. If you are going to make people walk, at least have functional push carts. The course was pretty empty and I did get 18 holes done in about 2 hours and 10 minutes.
Good public course
Course provides the golfer with all types of challenges. Hills, water, sand and angels off the tee wil make the golfer think about placement
Pro Shop doesn't like Golf Now
Northampton is a very nice course. But apparently there is a standing order that Golf Now players will not go off before their assigned tee time.
Don't get me wrong I have no problem waiting our turn but if you are ready to go 30 minutes early and there is no one else going off that whole time what make us wait? Of course, I was reminded of that in the pro shop also. He said it at least 4 times that my Golf Now tee time was 1pm and the starter will send us off at 1pm. The whole foursome was given the same lecture upon check in. Unfortunately the pro shop there is known for there poor customer service. It is a nice course though so I will go back.
Northampton
Usually courses give players the courtesy to play early if there's no one booked ahead. There was no one in the course but the manager made us wait for an hour simply because we booked through golf now. I got the feeling they don't want us to use Golf now.
Course in better shape
Northhampton golf course Is in better shape than it has been in the past. This is the first time i've played it in two years. The grounds crews are definitely doing a better job than they have prior. As for the greens fees, without the golf now discount, I would say there are better courses with the same price in the area.
5 hour round of golf is not for me
I would suggest hiring several "Rangers" to keep the pace of playing moving. The Pro Shop should prepare a golf etiqutte pamphelt as to: not having the entire foursome drive to each others shot.
Haven’t played there in 20 years
Course is in so much better condition that I can remember. Definitely will play again soon.
Starter handling carts was excellent with updated information.
Not long but difficult. Shot making course.
Red October Round 1
Played 18 at Northampton Valley CC with my brother and two Phillers on a perfect day for golf or playoff baseball. Staff was super friendly and the course was in great condition!
Stayed afterwards to enjoy half price drafts and happy hour apps. Look forward to playing there again soon!
