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.

Goose poop and crappy greens

45 dollars at 3pm and the greens were in horrible shape. Most had goose droppings all over. Pace of play was lousy foursomes in front of twosome in front of walkers. That late in the day and there were walkers, the course closes at 7pm so we felt frustrated and rushed at the same time.

Course Needs Work

This course needs quite a bit of work. Many of the tee boxes are ripped up; the traps have little to no sand and lots of rocks; greens are pitted with ball marks and rot. Most of the cart paths are very beaten up. The fairways are ok however. The best aspect to this course are the staff. Very friendly and helpful., Overall a little too rough, even with the reasonable twilight green fee.

Zero golf educate from the ground crew

Ground crew is rude and inconsiderate. The course booked an golf outing without telling me. The first 9 holes we on a pace of a 3 hour round. The outing delayed us and it took us 2 hours to finish the back 9.

WET DAY

Rain was scheduled to end at 11:00. We started at 11:30 with moderate rain that continued for an hour+, soaked grips, flooded greens. All four of us enjoyed ourselves regardless. Each player lost multiple shots to the conditions. Sun finally came out.

Over BOOK !

When we arrived we were told 1140 teatime was on time. The problem was there was a small allocation of 30 people I don’t think that’s a small outing I just think they’re overbooked ! we got for the 14th hole and quit . There was two sometimes three groups on each of the tees on the back nine. That’s not acceptable . The Course is very nice and the greens had really good pace

Good Local coarse

Played here for the first time and I wasn’t disappointed despite playing after two hellish days of rain. That being said, it was cart path only which always make the round a little longer and some of the cart paths are pretty rough and damaged to say the least. The coarse itself was wet but surprisingly not terrible. The best feature were the well manicured greens: true and fast ! The only thing that bothered me was the grounds crew. We played early at 06:50 and they were all over the place, which is ok they have a job to do. The part that bothered me was that they had no courtesy. No stopping and standing off to the side on your approach shots to the green - they acted like you weren’t even there. They look like a bunch of thugs with no regards for the rules of etiquette for the game. Other than that, great round. I’m looking forward to playing again in drier conditions.

Extremely Slow Play

We teed off at 1130 AM, at 430 PM only finished 15 holes. Had to quit since it was so slow. Horrible round of golf.

Good course

I’m a once or twice a month golfer so take that into consideration. Course was in good shape, especially since we have a ton of rain the few days prior. Greens were very fast. Only negative for me was the grounds crew who was spraying part of the fairways would not pause While we were on a few holes. Just found it distracting. Cart paths are rough. But all in all I will absolutely be playing here again!

Decent Course for Folks in Newtown!

Enjoyed playing with my father. Staff were accommodating when I wanted to add him to my tee time. No interruptions during our play which... could be slow for folks just getting out for the first time. Wasn't crazy about the lakes. It's usually one or two holes to carry over a lake on a typical course. This course has about five, and one's a par 3! The greens are fast, so have a good short game! Overall, I can see myself coming back for round 2!

Potential

The course needs a lot of work. Cart paths are in bad shape. Bunkers need sand and overall the course needs attention. All day saw only one worker. Hope township gives them a decent budget. Also can use a management company to run things. Course could be a great one . Right now so so.

The Course was in great shape

The day after 3 days of rain the course was in great shape. It was cart path only but no much water on the course. Greens were in good shape.

Northampton Valley

Playing Northampton today was pretty special. I recorded my first eagle EVER from the Fairway. On the 4th hole hitting the ball from 179 yards out I was fortunate enough for the ball hit the green and on 2 bounces we watched it spin into the cup. That will be my awesome memory from today! Due to the heavy downpour of Rain from the previous day it was cart path only. This was unfortunate because it somewhat delayed the round and there was a lot of people still playing it was also a sunny and very windy day and the wind just carried the ball into the trees if you didn't hit it low and accurate down the middle. The greens rolled true and we're very fast. I will play this course again and I recommend it to others as well.
