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.

Fairways (I'm guessing) are mowed once a week and have 8 different types of grass growing. Greens have all the same grass which is a positive.

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.

Harker's appears on GolfNow on a daily basis which depending on how you look at it, could be a good thing or a bad thing. Thursday 1pm tee-time for 18 with a cart for $22 and change? Yep! First the good. The course for the most part is actually in pretty good shape. Fairways are green and lush. Nice differentiated cut between the fairway and the rough and the greens are what you would expect. What's a little iffy? If you're not in the fairway or fairly close to it, a lot of holes have rock hard exposed dirt patches around/under/close to some of the trees that are impossible to hit off of (unless you want to break a shaft or fracture your wrist) or your ball will roll forever into the next fairway, etc. What's bad? Zero and I mean zero on pace of play enforcement. After 3 hours we got through a grand total of......11 holes. Multiple groups of 4+ people meandering and not giving a crap about anything but their own nonsense. We eventually went back to the beginning and played 1-4 and 8-9 before the cart had to get turned in. So....11 holes in 3 hours and then 6 more in an hour. Yeah, it was that painfully-disgustingly slow. Overall, sure, some of the cart paths ride and look like the government uses this place as bomb range from time to time and you will lose balls here without question with some of the hazards like the creek, trees and aforementioned brownout spots but.....if you can find them on GolfNow, the price is definitely right and you could do much worse at other area courses. (Sidebar, the hours that Yelp has listed I assume are for the onsite restaurant as the golf courses is open daily.)
