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.

Northampton Comments

Conditions of the course and weather were excellent for a 1st of December round of golf in the northeast.

My score could have been better but it was not due to the course. I had a great time!

Great Public Course - Northampton Valley CC

You won't find a public course in the Philadelphia Region with much better overall Greens and Fairways than Northampton Valley CC (NVCC). This "forgiving" course is still a challenge for all levels of golfers, and

is a better maintained golf course than most other public courses. Great scenery, great value, and great Greens that roll true.

Great shape late in season

Not a leaf to be found on the course. Now that’s a lot of maintenance for this time of year Course in great shape and pace of play was perfect. Seems the lounge is closed for the year or maybe just weekdays. If you’re looking for food and beverage, bring your own . I’d go back.

Great course

A little pricey unless you can find a “hot deal”. But none th less a great course. Sometimes the pace of play is very slow would be the only possible negative comment I could make. Even if you call the clubhouse on a slow play group they will take send a ranger out

Sneakily Tricky Course

Northampton is a fine public course in Bucks County. On this day, the greens were very fast and firm, while the bunkers lacked some sand and were tricky to play out of. Overall though, it's a good course and the holes are very fair, offering players good chances at birdie, especially on the two par 5's. The final three holes get a bit interesting closing with a challenging par 3 over water. Normally, it costs $61 to ride 18, which in my opinion is too pricey. The twilight rate ($35) is much more reasonable. If you can find a tee time for under $50, then pull the trigger. Just make sure you get some putts on the practice green before teeing off.

Golf at Northampton

Course is in excellent condition. Greens were fast. Although the course is not conducive to my ball flight, it is a fun place to play. Had a good time. Played the round with 3 strangers and it just so happened we all had about the same skill level

Good value

Greens were in good condition but the speeds seemed to vary and slow down around hole 14-15. Not sure what that was about. Got a deal for $35 and this course is a solid value at that price point. Bunkers could use some more sand, but that's similar to most public courses.

Nice course but so slow

I booked as a single and went off around 8am. Sent out with three other guys and had a great round until we had to start waiting to tee off Bc of slow play in front of us on the second hole. The group ahead of us called the clubhouse to complain when we got to hole 5. 20+ min later the ranger came out. I love the course but a 5+ Hours for a round is terrible. I paid more to play early hoping to avoid the long round and it didn't pay off.

A Golf Day Dream

I was a single player and was matched with another to play the round. It was a very enjoyable experience. The other player(Fabio) provided me with some very useful putting tips that enabled me to putt better on this course than ever before. I was even able to break 100. Great time!

course good shape....usually poor pace of play....indifferent attitude

Have played this course off and on for over 20 years. Stopped playing a while ago when they had an alternating 7 and 8 minute t time schedule. Started playing again a few years ago when they went back to 8 minute t times. Course is rumored to be up for sale and they are trying to maximize sales. We played on a Thursday morning.....course was not busy......maybe 40 cars in lot. Our 3some teed off mid morning and played the first 9 in 1:45.....saw no other group in front of us. As we are playing #9, we notice a 3some playing 10.....they must have been in the restaurant. As we finish 9 and approach 10 t box another 3some comes out of restaurant and tees off ahead of us. We waited on every shot thereafter. We called the pro shop and they basically did nothing. Another group behind us started to wait as well. The slow 3 some was hitting balls 50 yards and sometimes taking two shots. Mike, the manager claimed they were "on pace" and we should stop complaining. This is commonplace at this course. If you don't mind a 4:45 - 5 hour round, this is the place to go. Appears place is trying to maximize sales and anything goes. Beer is an overpriced 13.50 a pitcher. Won't be going back. Too many other good alternatives in area that have better attitudes.

1st tee time for the day

All was great at first. What turned out to be a great tee time turned into a daunting task of getting caught up by the grounds keepers this early in the morning. Instead of letting a playing golfer continue, I was held up for an average of 5 minutes per hole. At lest by the 9th hole, they began letting me play through. The course was awesome and I would have given higher ratings except for the delays experienced.

If I play here again, it will not be the first tee time of the day.

Top Notch

I loved this course and enjoyed a round at a golf course which cared about its appearance. Greens were what I call Country Club fast and true. They were probably the largest greens I ever played on but that was fine with me.
