The young lady we had at the pro shop was very nice and understanding, she is the reason I am giving a 2 star. Also the pace of play was horrible, I was going around the bend and there was a backup of 5 groups and there were no rangers or anything in sight.

I have played at all of the courses in our area and beyond. I've never been turned away because of cargo shorts. And they also told my friend that he has to tuck in his shirt. I always practice good golf etiquette. This was disappointing. I personally willing to pay $100 for a round of golf should not be turned away because of having pockets on the side of their shorts.

The course is in good shape, from tees to greens. The folks at the front desk (pro shop) are customer focused and positively charged. Unfortunately I failed to get their names as I would like to compliment them individually. I believe they are aware of the questionable reputation of the club in the recent past and are consciously working to improve it. Carts are clean. The dining area, though serving only hot dogs and beer at this time, is clean and the bartender is personable and professional. Based upon my current experience, whoever manages the operation, though I haven't met him/her, appears to care. If you've been avoiding it because of prior bad associations, I suggest giving this course another shot. It's become my go-to course in the Greater Allentown Area.

In the past 2-3 years I have visited the course a handful of times and each time my experience has…read morebeen worse and worse. The employees seem to not understand what good customer service is and they are very rude, fowl mouthed, and simply disrespectful. There is trash everywhere. When I was setting my clubs down to go inside to pay no one greeted me and the area had trash and towels all over the place. Then when I received my cart (from the incredibly rude guy that I was told to hand my receipt to) the cart had mud all over the floor and still had trash inside the whole thing!! While on the course I was pleased with how nice and clean it was(for the most part). However while we were playing the ranger must have stopped and said something to us at least 4 times and he was incredibly rude and impolite. Not to mention there wasn't even anyone behind us!! they're also seem to be garbage all over the parking lot, ever right outside the Pro Shop. It was quite a disappointing and just a bad experience the last couple times I played this course.

You want to come out in December or January on a nice robustly brisk 28 degree night with a decent breeze and hit until your hands hurt or they freeze to the club? Damn right you can!! luckystrokes.com/hours The above link covers the current hours in the offseason, well sort of because that link shows the driving range lights as being on until 9 but there is a note taped to the self-serve ball dispenser that current lights off is actually 8 and based on my own personal experience last week, it's more like 7:55. The below link has the current pricing information. luckystrokes.com/home-page Also note, if you come there is a list of range rules. One of them is that you are supposed to aim at the targets they have in the field. Admittedly, there aren't too many dudes showing up in winter to hit but fwiw, I have yet to see one (self-included) go along with that. Everyone is just cranking and wherever it goes, it goes. Overall, the pricing is fare, the carpets are in decent shape and I'm just grateful to have a place somewhat close that chooses to think outside the box a little to offer us hard core contrarian loons something very fun & different to do in winter.

The greens are rolling fairly smooth and overall conditions are fantastic. The only issue they currently have is extremely bumpy cart paths. But that is supposed to be rectified and redone this fall.

In a past rambling, I addressed the asi asi situation of the driving range here and after another…read moreround at the 9 hole course I feel I need to address this one as well. So, what do you have? Seven par 4s of which three are shorter than 300 yards and two par 3s. Aside from #4 and #8, all the remaining holes run immediately back and forth next to each other which means people and carts all over the place. OK, what's so off here to make it two stars? Easy. While the fairways are in a little better shape than I've seen them in recent memory (greener with fewer brown/dead spots and not cut so stupidly short to the ground), the greens are simply bad. Hard as hell which equals approach shots being impossible as everything will keep on rolling as if you're hitting it on asphalt. Also, lots of choppy-bumpy uneven spots spots which make putting oh so fun and some interesting pin placements like on #6 where the pin is all the way in the front of the green which is tiered and heavily sloped. I.E., if you're trying to putt from 85% of the green, your ball is rolling back on to the fringe/rough as the slant and speed are abnormal. There's fair and then there is stupid. I get why from a business standpoint they added carts a few years ago but, are they really needed? It's a nine hole course that is about 2,500 yards. It worked well as walk only for decades. Pace of play here is not existent. The majority of the day time weekday clientele is 65-70+ and they do not give a damn how long they take per hole and they sure as hell are not letting you play through. That equals nine holes taking two and a half hours. Insane. Your greens fee covers eighteen holes but who the hell wants to spend five hours playing the same holes twice? $22 is a ripoff. Yeah, I get it. In the modern post pandemic world, golf course pricing is insane. But at the same time, why play here when you can pay $22 and play at Sawmill with much better conditions and with eighteen real holes? Again, I get it. Technically, there are no other courses within the city proper limits of Bethlehem except this place and the 18 hole course across the street. It's a very large captive audience and it serves them well because each place is always busy and packed. To me, if you're going because it's close and just easier, I get that. But sure as hell don't play here because you think it's nice because, honestly, it's not.

This place was not only perfect, it's almost made for families. First, the staff that I met there were maybe the NICEST golf course attendees that I've ever met. Went out of his way to explain every little detail of the course. Made us feel comfortable with bringing our child - it didn't feel like an inconvenience for them, more like they WELCOMED it. This meant so much to us. Second, it's a perfect place for families and beginners. No tee times needed, 12 holes (shorter round) with 10 of them being par 3s. Most people walked. We didn't for obvious reasons and was thankful that they had carts. Definitely something we'll come back to as the children get older!
