We are visiting the area from Las Vegas to attend my cousin's daughter's wedding. For a beautiful…read morebarn wedding on a golf course I have a hard time believing you'd have to pay extra to have decorations put up and taken time in an EXTREMELY "untimely" manner. My daughter got married on a golf course in Las Vegas and I could not even fathom decorating the morning of the wedding and tearing down immediately afterwards. That is what this venue required unless you paid extra. Wow ... never heard of such a thing. The wedding itself was beautiful out by the pond and the happy hour was well thought out. The passed apps we're all very interesting and extremely tasty except for the shrimp which were severely overcooked. If you're a bride to be reading this, skip over the shrimp. Moving into the venue. For the reception they had two bartenders serving 100 guests and I think it went fairly smoothly except for the beginning when everybody rushed to the bar. I found it odd for the location they placed the bride and groom at. I think they should have been sitting front and center to the dance floor, but I think everything was poorly organized. When it came time for the buffet, the food choices were not appealing. Apparently the short ribs was a really good option, but I chose the fish and a potato puff with a couple of grilled brussels sprouts on the side. The fish was severely overcooked, the potato puff was bland and needed salt, and some over roasted brussels sprouts. Needless to say, I ate very little of my dinner and when I chose to stand up and put my dinner plate on a serving tray that was off to the side of our table, I was scolded by one of the servers that that was her job. I said that's great, but I just did not want this food sitting in front of me she once again said well that's my job and I said no reflection on you I just hate sitting with this food sitting in front of me. I don't think a guest should be scolded for cleaning off their table. The bride also to have a potato bar which included french fries and tater tots with toppings of your choice. The french fries were the most outstanding part of the whole meal, but I didn't quite think it was worth the money. Not sure how much they charge for that, but it wasn't something that was necessary since most people didn't even know it was there. The wedding and reception was scheduled for 5 PM to 10 PM. Buyer beware the bar closes at 9:30 and no matter what you ask they won't give you another glass of wine no matter how much you wanted to tip her. And to top it off at 9:45 the servers were already cleaning up the area and there were still a lot of people still there enjoying the wedding. After everyone of the guest left a few of us stayed behind to take down all the decorations. What is crazy show this is with everybody dressed up for a wedding having to scramble to take down decorations so they could shut the doors and we could leave. Do you think some of the servers would've helped? Not a chance. Would I recommend this establishment to a bride looking for a venue?? Absolutely not. If you want a smooth wedding that transitions from each thing to the next keep looking. PS ... they do set the tables beautifully and the barn itself might be worth choosing this location. My humble opinion ?? Choose to have a "happy 3 hour" with only their apps.

Ever since the notorious C.O.V.I.D., golf has had a major resurgence. One could say that I'm…read moretalking about in terms of interest, but what I'm really talking about is the pricing. Most courses are obnoxious with where their greens fee pricing is and in terms of the ROI you get commensurate to course conditions. The area at different times had multiple, what I would call, value play courses but over the past few years things have changed. Tumble Brook closed. Willow Brook closed. Bethlehem Municipal's 9 hole course (no way I'll ever call that a golf club) is a dump and over run with carts. The last man standing is Sawmill. Below is what you're getting into: www.sawmillgolfcourse.com/course-information I've played here a ton this year. Time for the good and bad. Good: Pricing is super cheap. After 3pm it's $15 for a round. Can't beat that anywhere. Overall, tee times are easy to come by. Open year round. No holes are super intimidatingly long. Bad: Course conditions are all over place. Several holes/tees are still decent, lush and green even with the lack of rain this year, while others are near impossible to get a tee in the ground (#7 & #8 currently). Pace of play here can be a major issue. Even when they have rangers here, they're a joke. Either smoking in the parking lot or hanging out at #1 but never getting on to the course to try and undo any logjams. I've done 18 here (always walking - never with a cart - weekdays only) in a touch over three hours and it's also ballooned to around five hours. With that said, are any of the holes here that hard? Not really. No extreme doglegs or water and what sand they have is minimally maintained and plays like hitting off the parking lot asphalt. The only issue here would be elevation. The course is set on a hillside and certain holes like 5, 6, 14 and 15 have some healthy incline to them. If you come, you can either call for tee times or go here: foreupsoftware.com/index.php/booking/20706/5485#/teetimes Is Sawmill a five star course? Of course not, but you're also not paying for a five star course either. To a degree, it's honestly stupid to complain when you're paying $15 or $20. Nothing here is that bad. If you want better, plenty of areas course that will be happy to soak you for many times more than what SM charges but won't have the fun and interesting quirks this place has. Good Enough.

We visited on a Friday afternoon during the school year and it was the perfect day for it, not crowded at all, staff was warm and attentive everywhere you turned, and there was just so much to explore across two floors. As a homeschool mom, I am always on the lookout for places where kids are learning without even realizing it and this delivered completely. My little ones were engaged the entire time, bouncing between exhibits and coming back to do things on repeat. The water table on the second floor was a huge hit (dam building = instant obsession), the crawl-through body exhibit had them giggling the whole way through, and the immersive hall with the giant projector and the orchestra activity where they put their faces into the performers? They talked about that the whole ride home. We timed our visit to catch the 3 o'clock otter feeding and training, definitely worth planning around. Maybe 30 people gathered and it was totally manageable and really sweet to watch. What surprised me most was how engaged I was as an adult. I was genuinely learning things alongside my kids, which is not always the case at these types of places. It felt appropriate and interesting for every age in our group. A few things to know before you go: follow the directions on their website for the specific parking garage , it's about a 5-minute walk and was only $5 for us. Strollers and wagons are totally doable with elevators throughout. They also have a café if you want to make a full day of it, and rotating special exhibits (always check the website ahead of time so you know what's on and whether it fits your crew). We stayed about two and a half hours and left happy. Already thinking about when we're coming back.

(Maybe at some point I'll update with pictures to make this a bit more well-rounded, but for now,…read morethis is good enough.) Nothing I love more in life than being the contrarian and finding/enjoying the quirky things that few others do. In terms of a local golf course, Willow Brook checks all of the boxes. The course is located on/shares space with a horse farm. Back in the day it was a traditional 18 hole course, but the configuration has been modified to 9 with the rest of the land being turned into a housing development that is still actively being built by the 8th green & 9th tee. If you look at the map on Yelp, which is of course nicked from Google, it does a poor job explaining the simple basic of how you even get to the course unless you go to the satellite tab. You're either heading down Howertown Road and then going on to at times, basically a single lane drive that snakes through some trees and past a few homes to the parking area or you can ignore the road closed signs on Willowbrook Road and enter via Sappho Cody Lane. The parking is on some grass by a horse competition area. From there you walk down Joe Cody Lane to the shack where you pay. A few randoms: Current hours are 10-4 daily. $20 for 9 or $30 for 18 and it's cash only - all walk with no carts. Not uncommon to find the shack where you're supposed to pay be unmanned with a note taped to one of the sliding glass doors to find them on the course and pay then. So far, I paid once when the guy stopped to say hello as he was mowing the fairway grass and the other time a different guy was doing some work on the green at #4. Three par 3's that start in the 130 yard range up to the two par 5's that go to the mid to upper 400's. Nothing is terribly difficult if you can, lol, keep it relatively straight. The thing I love more than anything is the angle of them not having carts because that keeps the crowds a-way and that is what I'm looking for. The two times I've been here, counting myself, I haven't seen ten people in total out playing (chef's kiss on that one). The course is what you would expect for the price. I'm no pro so I'm not looking for much past a cheap price. To me the fairways and greens are in good enough shape. The only thing they gave up on years ago are the sand traps. They're basically concrete slabs with vegetation growing in them. Also, if you're willing to dig around a bit, plenty of balls in the tall grass and by the creek area that people gave up on. For everyone one I lose, I usually find two. Yeah, this place is odd and quirky and some will be turned off by the no carts but to me, it's beautiful and quiet. As long as the crowds don't suddenly start swarming here during the week, I'm all in for the foreseeable future. willowbrook9.com/
