 I couldn’t decide whether the new greens which I assume are Fazio’s make it a modern course rather than a classic. The course rolled magnificently across the ground with a great routing and many great looks and shots.


I need to play it again and would love to learn more of what is Gordons and what is Fazio.

Always a treat to play any of the 3 courses at Saucon Valley. I played Weyhill  after the work was done. It's a terrific course.


Here's an article that will help  answer some questions:

Can a 1967 course ever be considered a “classic”?

That’s where I was wrong. I heard Gordon.

Mike,


My understanding is the Fazio work cleared trees, redid all the bunkers and repositioned some, and extended and overall reduced slope in the Gordon greens to create more hole locations.  The routing remained the same.


Tee to green it's my favorite course at SVCC, but some of those Strong and Maxwell greens on the Old course are really good.  The Grace...meh.

Mike,


My experience with Gordons  greens is undulations. I thought these were a little engineered but not not wild. When I returned to my Flynn this weekend I wondered what his work would look like on those greens.
