Favorite course in the area
great course lots of different holes great price compared to other courses in the area.
i'm a sucker for a good bar with a decent golf course
Played on a recent Sunday afternoon and had the place to ourselves. Go Birds! Anyways, the course was in fine shape, tee boxes level, fairways cut and the rough was manageable with the greens rolling true. I've been able to play up here at least once or twice year now for the last 10 years and I enjoy the course a little more each time I play it. ....One note of caution, this is not a knock but an observation, if I'm a lefthander with a tendency to slice I may just want to skip the front nine and play the back twice as 8 of the first nine holes have woods or out of bounds down the left side. Me being a righty with a fade "slice" it' a fun course to play. Did the hot deal and was treated like a VIP!
Different
The course was in good shape so it was worth the play. While I checked that I would not recommend this course, the intent was that I would recommend the course of you are closer to the course. Traveling 45 minutes yup an hour, the price would need to be right.
There are some blind shots which made it a bit more interesting for a first time play.
Great Deal
Could not pass up this deal. The course meanders through various types of housing. I was glad to be playing with a couple of guys who were familiar with getting from green to the next tee. The course is short and although the fairways for the most part are wide there isn't much margin for error if you hit the rough. Greens and most tees in very nice shape.
Time was short so I didn't get a chance to visit the newly renovated bar and grill.
Had a nice round with friendly people. I would recommend the course and hope to see more improvements to make it more interesting.
A neighborhood Gem
This course running links-style through a neighbor west of Allentown was a nice playing course in excellent shape. No sprinklers but still in good shape. It definately on our list to come back to.
Fun tight course
Of course it's not the best course but it's fun and cheap. The fairways could be mowed more but the greens are in good shape. There are a lot of hazards left and right so be tight.
Work Still to Go
The sand traps are not sand-they are clay and stone-they really need much attention. Grass clippings were everywhere throughout the course. There was nobody minding the pace of play which was slower than slow. Walk-ons were permitted to start in between those of us who had made tee times.
Good Choice
A perfect day to enjoy a 3 hour play in the afternoon.
Dotori
It is a good course but there are too many residential houses too close to fairways.
Hats off to the grounds crew......
We played this course the day after a horrible rain event in the area. All things considered the grounds crew had the course ready for play (They could not help some standing water on some holes). I live nearby this course and it is convenient for me to play in the late afternoon. It is great to see that the maintenance crew does their best to keep up with all areas of the course.
Play Smart
The houses left and right make it an interesting course. You need to "play smart" It is not important to play the holes off the tee with a driver. Play a controlled game you can score well.
The greens are always in great shape. The fairways are shaping up. the traps have been improved to make them competitive.
The issue. Golfer ETIQUETTE!. its gone. Since the course has some short holes, slow players just don;t get it, no rangers or signs, which should not need if people sued common sense. Let the faster players though and you can RELAX and play your slow game.
I don't agree with the replay cost of $13, I think it is extreme and send home early the captured audience. Although the course says "the price is competitive" that is a canned answer all courses use to justify their cost. $8 would keep people at the course and in the restaurant spending more $$$$$.
Favorite course
I have always liked playing at shepherd Hills. The course is fairly straight, the grounds are well taken care of and There are no real surprises on the course.
I love the Happy Hour on Friday evenings. The practice putting green is very challenging in a good way. It's a huge learning curve. This is my number one course of choice.
Great course, but watch out for houses.
Beautiful fairways and greens however this golf course is in the middle of developments. If you shank or slice a ball badly you're going to hit a house.
