Pennsylvania Golf Courses : Northampton County
Created on March 11, 1752 from parts of Bucks County and named for Northamptonshire, England, where Thomas Penn’s father-in-law, the Earl of Pomfret, lived. Easton, the county seat was named for the Earl’s estate. It was incorporated as a borough on September 23, 1789 and became a city on November 2, 1886. The county adopted a home rule charter in April 1976. Pennsylvania’s Walking Purchase from the Delaware Indians in 1737 included all the present area of this county. Moravians settled in 1740 at Nazareth and in 1741 at Bethlehem. Fries Rebellion against a federal tax on windows occurred here. Until 1800 Northampton was the entire northeastern section of Pennsylvania. In 1812 the creation of Lehigh County divided the Lehigh Valley, and Northampton continued to yield land until the formation of Carbon County in 1843. German farmers from Bucks County and Perkiomen Valley, as well as Scots-Irish from New Castle, were the first settler groups. The opening of the Lehigh Canal in 1829 triggered industrial growth. Major iron works functioned at Easton, Glendon, and South Bethlehem before 1860. Bethlehem Iron Works became Bethlehem Steel, the second largest United States steel producer. By 1890 there were also flour mills, textile factories, slate quarries, and zinc mines. Depression was seriously felt from 1930 to 1941. Bethlehem Steel recognized the United Steelworkers in 1939, but there was a bitter strike in 1941. Lasting industrial decline began in 1955, reaching beyond the steel industry. The cement mills and the Dixie Cup Company have closed. Farms cover 36 percent of the county and Northampton is a significant grain and peaches producer. Let’s see the Pennsylvania golf courses in Northampton County.

This course's fairways are lined with evergreen trees. Beginners and seniors will enjoy playing here because there are no sand bunkers or water hazards to contend with. However, locals warn that this course plays harder than it looks. The green fees shown are good for all-day play.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This club has two outstanding courses. The Championship Course has wide open fairways lined with intermittent trees that rarely cause problems for the better players. The large greens are undulating, and out-of-bounds stakes line many holes. There is a creek that winds through the course which comes into play on at least six different occasions. The Hill Nine Course is very wooded and hilly. The tree-lined fairways are narrow, and the large greens are undulating. The hilly terrain causes many changes in elevation in the fairways.

This narrow course has several tree-lined fairways and all of them are bordered by a standard cut of rough. The terrain is hilly on about two-thirds of the course, providing several scenic views of (Blue Mountain) which is part of the nearby Appalachian Mountain Range. The large greens are very undulating, fast, and many of them are multi-tiered.

This scenic course features water hazards coming into play on seven holes. There are a number of sand bunkers incorporated into the course design, but the fairways are wide open. The greens are exceptionally large and fast, so three putts are frequent occurrences.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This course is generally easy to play, but it can be challenging on given days due to the changing weather conditions. The greens are fast and very deceiving to read, and the fairways are very narrow. There are only a few sand bunkers incorporated into the course design, but an emphasis on shot accuracy is still stressed by locals.

This hilly mountain-style course features small greens and plush fairways that are tree lined. Water hazards coming into play on five holes, including 1, a 485-yard, par 5, with a pond sitting in front of the green daring you to shoot for it in two. The fairways are tree-lined, and the medium-sized greens are undulating and moderate in speed.
