Shepherd Hills Golf Club

I played this course with a GroupGolfer certificate. Not what the photo indicated. For starters this is the second worst experience I've ever had as far as the presence of houses proximal to the course. While some courses seem like houses were built near the course, this seems like a development that decided to use the space between houses to make a golf course. Houses loom right next to almost EVERY hole. Unless you are Moe Norman straight, this course makes you afraid to take a full swing. The pro shop was unspectacular but the pro was very friendly and the people on the course were VERY gracious about letting me and the guy I partnered with play through. Pace of play was not an issue. The one thing you can't help but notice is that this muni level track has phenomenal greens! SUPER fast and very smooth.

Course is in great shape save for a few burned out fairway spots.

Conditions were fair. No starter, no beverage cart, and slow play. Much better courses in the Lehigh Valley to play.

After two days of heavy rain, the course was in better shape than expected. Traps were hard and partially washed out(due to recent heavy rains) but the green were in great shape.

Layout is pretty basic but a good course from the white tees for seniors with 16 to 22 handicap index.

Greens are well established and in beautiful condition. Tricky little devils!! Fairways and rough had adequate grass and had been recently mowed.

Course was in great shape. Pace of play was good. Greens are well kept. Even with all the rain the rough was playable

Played on a weekend for $29, good value. Nice layout and the course is in good condition considering all the rain they’ve had here. Greens are really good but the fairways have suffered a bit from all the rain.

My fiancee and I played the course on a warm summer Sunday, while enroute home from Philly. We were paired with a couple friendly locals/members and played it in 4.5 hours, with a little wait on most every hole. The course is a par 70 and pretty short (6000 yards from the blues). The layout has a lot of doglegs and only 2 par 5's. The biggest challenge was the greens, which are full of undulation. Tee boxes, greens are fairways were average. The bunkers were hard packed and needed work. Carts were well maintained and clean. The best part of the experience was the bar/grille. There is an outdoor veranda bar and a separate bar/grille inside, (named the Foundation), where we ate. The food was good and reasonably priced and the service pleasant. Overall, it was a good experience.
