Joe,
Re: Your 3 hour visit to HV
As Joe Logan pointed out in his review:
Just as Cheers was a neighborhood tavern, Horsham Valley Golf Club in Ambler is a neighborhood golf course.
Short at only 5,115 yards from the back tees, Horsham Valley will never be mistaken for a championship layout -- not with seven par 3s, a slope of only 102, and a par of 66.
But so what?
On any given day, Horsham Valley is brimming with as many happy golfers as any swanky country club in the area. For plenty of golfers, Horsham Valley fits like a comfy old shoe.
Some holes there are less than memorable and most are not even memorable(except for maybe the par3 sixth) but HV has served the beginners,seniors, high school golf teams,etc well for many years. Their regulars will migrate to other local less expensive courses- Fairways, Twining Valley and Neshaminy Valley. Limekiln and 5 Ponds are probably a bit more expensive for most of the HV regulars.
