I presume the foreclosure sale went through. There was no follow up article. Just this note saying that the course is "shuttered."

The original nine holes was Maurice McCarthy.

I played there a couple of years ago and enjoyed it.

Man, I remember interviewing for a newspaper job in Lehighton in 1998. I got out of there with a quickness--it was practically a ghost town even back then. So I can't say I'm surprised about this one.

This is about 10 minutes from my new house, so I'm glad to see it, and I'm sure I'll be over there often.

Thanks for the update, Steve.

How about a GCA outing there this summer?
