Pennsylvania Golf Courses : Bucks County
One of the three original counties created by William Penn in November 1682. Bucks is named for Buckinghamshire in England, where the Penns had lived for generations. Doylestown replaced Newtown as the county seat in 1812 and was incorporated as a borough on April 16, 1838. It was named for William Doyle, an innkeeper. Most original settlers were Quakers, and William Penn’s estate was at Pennsbury Manor. During the religious Great Awakening the log college at Neshaminy educated clergymen. In 1776-1777, Washington used Newtown and Keiths as bases for his Trenton and Princeton campaigns, crossing the Delaware on Christmas at McConkey’s Ferry and in 1778 his army camped at Doylestown. Bristol was the first county seat, succeeded by Newton and then Doylestown. Fries’ Rebellion occurred in 1798 in opposition to a federal tax on windows. Bucks has a long tradition of high quality farming, including selling seeds that are used all across the nation. Dairying became strong toward the end of the nineteenth century. Wealthy estates have acquired much of the farming area; 22 percent of the land is currently farmland. Textiles, pottery, and decorative tile making flourished. The U. S. Steel Company built a plant after World War II, and then the population increased sharply. Many found homes in the new housing complex of Levittown. Explorer Zebulon Pike, writer Pearl Buck, and War of 1812 general Jacob Brown were all from Bucks. There were Underground Railroad stations in four towns. Let’s see the Pennsylvania golf courses in Bucks County.

Bucks County Country Club is an eighteen hole, mixed style course designed by architect William Gordon, and opened for play in 1961.

This relatively short and tight course was built on hilly terrain, so expect many uneven lies. The greens are fast and undulating. In addition, water hazards come into play on twelve holes. Hole 18, a 505-yard, par 5, is generally reachable in two shots for the average player, setting up many eagle attempts.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This course is situated in a rolling valley and offers open terrain and scenic views of nearby Jericho Mountain. Designed in the links-style, the fairways feature generous landing areas, however, shot-placement is essential due to heavy mounding and a proliferation of sand bunkers. The ample greens offer little undulation, yet provide a challenging putting surface.

This facility has three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The most difficult course is the South Course because of its length and natural hazards. The easiest course is the North Course because it is straight forward with very little water coming into play. The West Course has numerous sand bunkers and water hazards that come into play on several holes. The West and North courses have fairways that are frequently watered. All three courses have large greens that slightly sloped and medium speed.

This hilly course has water hazards coming into play on ten holes. Some fairways are tree lined, and most are bordered with a thick heather-type rough. The average-sized greens are undulating, and their speeds are determined by the seasonal weather conditions. Since this course is located on some of the highest points in the region, the wind is often a factor.
