LEHIGH COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling hills of eastern Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley create natural elevation changes that architect William Gordon exploited brilliantly when he routed this parkland gem through mature hardwoods in 1963. Gordon's strategic bunkering and multi-tiered greens demand precise iron play, particularly on the uphill par-4 14th where a back-left pin position can add two strokes to even scratch players. For a public track that's remained largely unchanged for six decades, the conditioning consistently punches above its weight class.
