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.

Improving conditions

Since the course went from a family owned facility (YOU NEED TO ALTER YOUR PREVIEW) to being township owned the physical facility has slowly showed signs of improving in conditioning and upkeep of the course. The greens are smooth and fast. Hoping at some point bunkers get rebuilt and filled with sand and cart paths are redone.

Phenomenal

We had the first tee time at 6am and played from the back tees. The gentleman managing the carts and the starter were great and even got us out a few minutes early. I'm aware this course was once a private club and it shows. The tee boxes and greens were in fantastic shape. The greens rolled true and fast but they also held a shot as well. It made for great scoring opportunities. There are some shot maker holes that were tight and tree-lined which was fun and challenging. I intend to return very soon.

Almost There

Nice, fun course. The overall rating has to be dinged for the condition of the bunkers (not enough sand/maintenance in many of them) and some of the greens (a few where there had been patches of sod replaced resulting in oddly long grass). At the Hot Deals price on GolfNow, definitely worth playing. Outstanding pace of play, I haven't had an issue in any of my visits here.

Rain out

Very nice course but interrupted by lightning,thunder and heavy rain.Course manager happy tp offer a do over but only Golf now can authorize this.Golf now almost impossible to contact on this and in any event it appears that they wouldn’t do so anyway. Very disappointing to say the least esp when the course is ok with it.

Day Out

Little pricey but nice course. Layout was not long but fun and challenging. Only knock was the tee boxes. Torn up bad. No care. Greens were true and rest of course well maintained. Had a nice day.

Aggressive ranger

I like this golf course layout and grounds are maintained very well however for the second time I’ve had aggressive rangers hassling me about pace of play. Our entire 18 rounds with a foursome took four hours and 30 minutes. To me that is a reasonable amount of time to complete the game. I’ve certainly completed games quicker but it depends on many factors. The Ranger came up to us and told us the average player was completing in four hours and five minutes and we were 10 minutes behind and needed to hurry up and pick up the pace. I explain to him that we were playing consistently, not taking time out for looking for lost balls (more than three minutes), and that we were delayed starting out by a foursome of senior citizens who took a little longer to complete each hole. By the time we got to the 10th hole it looked like the senior citizens took off and now there were now two holes in front of us that were empty. Rather than the Ranger watching us to see If we were the problem, he just looked at his watch and rushed us along. I believe that the marshals/rangers should identify if you are the problem before giving you a hard time. Messed up the rest of the game for all of us. When I complained at the pro shop they just seem like they didn’t give a rip. Well there’s lots of golf courses… Won’t be coming back to this one

A great round all around.

It’s been a few years since I played here, all I can say use say is wow. Everything was in great shape, from tee to green. Staff was great, they had a grill set up at the turn, as well as beverages of all kinds. We played 18 holes in four hours. Personal highlight was my birdie on 14. Can’t wait to go back.
