'Saucon Old" dates back to 1922, a Herbert Strong layout. Over the years others have had a hand in tweaking it, starting with Gordon, and also including Maxwell in 1941, and most recently Fazio/Marzolf in 2008.

I've always been a fan of having a center pin position be interesting:

Or take a more aggressive shot to leave a short iron in where the green in 2008 was changed, I believe, to basically roll off the front into the creek:
