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.

Nice course they must be seeding some greens have holes which makes it bumpy. Also don't forget bug spray alot of nats.
Pace of Play
This was my second time playing the course and I can honestly say that my review hasn’t changed. They over book the course and the pace of play is soul suckingly slow. The only other issue I have with the course is that they do not do a very good job of tending to their bunkers. Other than those two things I really like the course. There are some challenging holes even though the course is on the shorter side. There are narrow fairways and some blind tee shots that make the course worthwhile.
Pleasant layout
Unfortunately because of the excessive heat I could only play 3 holes. My medical condition prevented me from continuing.. I have a heart condition and could not continue.
Nice course needs some love the Bunkers and greens have alot of crabgrass
Overpriced
Overpriced golf course currently based on conditions of the course
Particularly many of the bunkers throughout
Overpriced vs other courses in the area
Slow play for a week day.
Informed on the first tee that leagues were set to tee off at 5. Our tee time was 1. Only got in 15. To the courses credit they did issue use a gift card as compensation. If i had known of the league issue i would not have booked.
I messed up one friend's tee time and the staff accommodated me even on a busy course day. . Very cool people.
Since the Township took over a few years back...
...the golf course has been going downhill fast!
Mostly no sand in the bunkers and they are covered with weeds and rocks, very little sand. Rough areas surrounding the greens are pacthy at best with a lot of soil and not grass. Some areas it looks like they harvested grass and then left it bare without adding new soil and seed to fill in.
The greens were ok but many greens have shown signs of big diseased areas that also had moved into the fringe.
Over all this course is no where near paying the high rates ($64 weekday, $72 weekend) that are charging. I got a discount hot deal and decided to try it again hoping the course was getting better, but it was worse, way worse! Too many other courses that are MUCH better in the area are cheaper to play.
It appears the township does not want to get this course back to where it was by spending money and are letting it fall apart year by year.
Stay away unless you like your wedges getting abused by hitting off of rocks in the bunkers, putting through diseased dead areas on the greens and driving on cart paths that are falling apart with potholes and ditches which were flat out dangerous to navigate!
