Fairways Golf & Country Club is a public golf course built in 1965. The course was designed by William Gordon who also designed other area golf courses, namely Saucon Valley, Doylestown Country Club and Old York Road Country Club.

 

Fairways golf course is 4,503 yards in length; Par is 65; Rating is 62.1; Slope is 104. It is a very challenging course, maintained in country club type conditions having fully irrigated bent grass tees, fairways, and greens with bunkers around greens and water on 11 holes. Practice areas consist of a putting green and a chip/pitching green (located behind the first tee). There is no driving range, but there is a driving net.

 

Fairways Golf & Country Club is open year round. Tee Times are advisable and are accepted:

 

• Public – 7 days in advance in person; 6 days via phone.
• Members – 14 days in advance.

 

 

 

 

Riding carts are available for rent to persons over 21 years of age. Pull carts are also available for rent. (Some courses require golfers to rent a cart on weekends ~ Fairways does not. Walkers can play golf at all times.) For liability reasons, Fairways is not able to allow non-players on the course; all persons on the golf course must be paying-playing customers. In addition Fairways does have a “golf dress” code.
