About Olde Homestead Golf Club

Olde Homestead Golf Club, nestled in the picturesque rolling hills of Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, offers a captivating and challenging golf experience. Designed by Bill Love and opened in 1994, the course is renowned for its immaculate conditions, diverse terrain, and stunning views of the surrounding farmlands and mountains. It seamlessly blends modern golf architecture with the rustic charm of its historic setting, featuring original farm buildings, stone walls, and even a fully restored 1800s farmhouse that serves as the clubhouse.

The course design thoughtfully incorporates the natural contours of the land, presenting golfers with a variety of elevation changes, strategic bunkering, and water hazards that come into play on several holes. Each hole has its own distinct character, demanding precision, thoughtful club selection, and a good short game. From wide-open fairways to tighter, tree-lined corridors, Olde Homestead provides a balanced test for golfers of all skill levels, rewarding good shots and penalizing errant ones without being overly punitive.

Playing at Olde Homestead is more than just a round of golf; it's an immersive journey through a beautifully maintained landscape. The course is consistently praised for its bentgrass greens, which are known for their speed and true roll, adding another layer of challenge. The commitment to maintaining a top-tier playing surface, combined with the scenic beauty and historical elements, creates a memorable and enjoyable atmosphere for every golfer.

Beyond the championship 18-hole course, Olde Homestead also features a 9-hole executive course, a practice facility, and a welcoming pro shop and restaurant, making it a comprehensive destination for golf enthusiasts. Its dedication to quality, service, and a unique aesthetic has solidified its reputation as one of Pennsylvania's premier public golf courses.
