"We like to say we are the best kept secret in Bucks County," quipped president Joe Lightkep about his Fairways Golf and Country Club in Warrington.
Indeed there are no big billboards or signs but lots of word of mouth advertising. . You can drive down Street Road north of Easton Road and go past the access road into the club through an established housing development and not know it.

It has been ages since I'd visited Warminster Five Ponds Golf Club. At the time it was the youngest course in Bucks County.
These days that distinction is held by Makefield Highlands Golf Club. Over the years Five Ponds has matured into a fine layout.
Five Ponds --- its name taken from the water hazards found on the course --- was an almost instant success in 1988. It provided a newer, varied, and challenging design from the older established courses in the immediate area while it presented a longer track for today's game of technology and big hitters.

I always liked things that didn't pretend to be something they aren't.
If the representatives of the United States Golf Association were looking for a poster course to portray public links golf in America all they have to do is drive down Almshouse Road. As they approached the sign for Neshaminy Valley Golf Club and turned onto the one lane tree lined driveway they would strike gold.

Middletown: A fun, challenging test |

When one pulls into the Middletown Country Club parking lot the first thing you notice is a stately clubhouse that dates back to the early 1900s. Look toward the left of the entrance and you see the 18th green and a cavernous bunker that guards its left side. That initial view gives you a strong clue that you are about to tee it up at a historic, old time golf course.
Middletown dates back to 1913, when Scotsman Alexander Findlay designed the course. It was known as the Langhorne Country Club then and it opened with nine holes. The course didn't expand to 18 holes until 1927, and while development and later owners made changes the current layout has much of the character of the original Findley vision.

Heritage Creek a welcome addition |

There are three certainties when playing Heritage Creek Golf Club in Warwick: you will shoot your best score of the year, the round will be played in record time and you will be challenged by some strong golf holes.
What's the catch?
Heritage Creek has a mere six holes open for play. That's not a typo, that's S-I-X holes. If that isn't unique, nothing is.
