Type Public
Par 70
Length 6402 yards
Slope 126
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.

Great Deal for a Great Course!

Got paired up with 2 walkers who paid more to walk than I did to ride! The course had just gotten a big rainstorm two nights before and was cartpath only. Some of the bunkers still had pools in them but I blame that on Mother Nature, not the course. Greens were awesome, course is lush and very clean. Will be playing again soon.

If the price is right

I have not played Northampton in about 4 years but seen a good deal on golf now and decided to give it a try. The course has increased the normal rates over the years and is certainly overpriced. I was able to play on a very hot day so the course was pretty much empty. I was able to get in 18 holes along with somebody else in about 3 hours and 15 minutes. Overall the course is in fantastic shape. The downside is the course is very open and short. You can almost hit your ball anywhere and not have much trouble. I would play the course again but only at a discounted rate.

Course in great shape

Despite record rain, there was very little standing water on the course and in the bunkers. Course was well kept, staff was friendly, driving range was decent, no drivers allowed though and you hit from turf mats.

Good mid-level course

The course was a good value for the discounted price. I don't think I would enjoy paying full price for this course.

Course was in great shape.

For a course that gets a lot of play, the conditions were outstanding. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were well mantained. Played in the first group in the morning, so we set the pace at less than four hours.

The course is in great shape

The staff is very friendly, the course is fair and in great playing condition, the greens are fast but roll true, the rough is exactly how it is named but you shouldn't be in there anyway!!!

This course has challenging but moderate holes for someone just starting to play.

Course was in real good condition. The average length of time to golf this course is 4-1/2 hours, it's was a 5-1/2 hour game because of holiday. Staff was very informative and friendly. Putting greens were fast, making it challenging when putting. Course is open enough to drive the ball without hitting into the trees or interfering with golfers on other holes.

Could use more consistency with ball wash at all holes. 11th tee box has no information, so without knowing where you are going it makes the 11th hole difficult to find.

We definently golf this course again during the season.

The course was easier than expected.

I was expecting the course to be a little more challenging. It was very forgiving of mistakes. A great course to start out on. Some beautiful holes.

There was a huge backup of people on a Saturday afternoon so the round was played very slow but obviously its expected on a weekend.

Course had

For playing the course for the first time, it was one of the most enjoyable Saturdays of golf i have ever played near Philly. Starting with a friendly staff and putting green to warm up before even taking foot on the course. The course was not crowded and play was fairly fast. The price was cheap compared to other courses i played on the weekends. The beverage girl was around at least 4 times and also asked how play was and if we were being held up at all. I thought that was great that all their workers are in tune with how long play should be. Overall this course was perfect and i will definitely going back as soon as possible!!!

Beautiful Shape

Northampton Valley is a tight course that demands a straight ball flight or you are punching out from behind the tree lined fairways. It is a fair but challenging course, with rolling fairways and well guarded greens. The greens had been ariated but will be rolling smooth in a couple weeks. All in all a fun course for all skill levels
