“Golf is deceptively simple, yet endlessly complicated.” – Arnold Palmer

“It’s a 3-club wind, maybe 4,” Kurt said as his well struck 6-iron landed oefully short of the green. A 4-club wind? What the heck is that? Stunned for a moment, I turned to the overpriced yardage book. He was right, he shot that normally called for a smooth 9-iron hadn’t nearly reached its target, having been terminally wounded by the 35-mph gusts off the Pacific Ocean. I’d come to expect this, a new challenge to my Lake Woebegon average golf game. This was Pacific Dunes in Oregon’s Bandon Dunes complex, the top course in Golf Digests’ “100 You Can Play” and the fifth course in six days that started with Chambers Bay, near Seattle, Washington. Sandwiched between were some of the most beautiful and challenging courses that you’d ever want to play. At 50, I’d finally learned the true meaning of the term “grinding.”

With Makefield Highlands Golf Club entering its fifth season, regular golfers will tell you that the course has never looked better.

As the tri-state area’s only true links-style course continues to mature, Makefield Highlands Golf Club maintains a sharp focus on “redefining public golf” by offering the amenities of a private country club with the accessibility and pricing of municipal courses.

Rated as the Reader’s Choice Best New Course in 2006 by Northeast Golf Magazine, the value of this high-quality municipal course has never been more clear with competitive daily fees, full grass practice facility, full-service Golf Shop, five sets of tees, on-site PGA Professionals, junior clinics, an active golf association, scenic views, and over 7,000 yards of meticulously groomed course.
