Never heard of the Bucks Club. Looked it up and found the website confusing in some ways. They certainly present themselves as a "club" and you would not know it was public except for a couple of mentions within text on the pages. No obvious ways to book a tee time. Is the course worth a play? Joe Bausch's photo tour looks nice enough, front 9 looks quite interesting, back nine is obviously the new-ish part of the routing. Never heard anyone from the Lehigh Valley talk about it.


Also the name makes it impossible to search for in the discussion group.


It had that name before it was woke cool.

It's the former Bucks County Country Club. The only new holes are 12-16. They're certainly controversial but #12 is the spiritual template/follow up to the original 16th at Inniscrone.

The front 9, as you noted from Joe's photos is as the Gordon's had it. The greens are quite fun and I'd love to get my hands on some photos of the original Baederwood course to compare.

Constantly blamed by 8-handicaps for their 7 missed 12-footers each round.

Thank you for changing the font of your posts. It makes them easier to scroll past.

Doesn't anyone want to know the course selected by the friend of Sheldon's son ?


By the way, speaking of Beaderwood, now a shopping center, here is some research by Jeff Silverman on NLE coures in the area:
