Is Udgc a good golf course?
By any measure UDGC was not a very good golf course. Of the 19 holes on the property (a hole was often closed for repairs), it’s hard to find one that would be considered well designed. Many are frustrating and poorly conceived. Conditions were generally poor and trees have overgrown much of the playing corridors. The long-time operators have tried to make improvements, but there’s only so much that can be done with a course so poorly designed and little money to invest. Still, the course provided very affordable golf to a community with few other public options. Kids could play for free in the afternoons and the peak rate was only $40 to ride. Twining Valley was one of the courses I grew up playing regularly, so while I didn’t especially like the course, I’ll still miss it.
Is Limekiln GC closed?
Limekiln GC will close 12/2 and be converted into another 55+ housing community. One of the few 27-hole facilities in the region, Limekiln was most famous for its former owners, the Philadelphia Phillies pitching duo of Curt Simmons and Robin Roberts. Located off Limekiln Pike in Horsham, the original 18-hole course was first known as Oak Park GC and built in the 1930s by Alec Duncan, long time pro at Philadelphia Cricket Club. The course was altered throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and then expanded to 27 holes in the late 1980s by Al Janis (adding the Blue nine). Jim Blaukovitch (Bella Vista, Island Green) made additional alterations in the 90s, especially to the greens.
Is Upper Dublin GC closed?
Upper Dublin GC is set to close 11 /30 after Upper Dublin Township chose not to re new the lease. Fortunately, the property located off Susquehanna Road is destined to remain open space as a park. Previously known as Burn Brae GC and then Twining Valley GC, the first nine holes were built in 1931, designed by Scotsman Jock MacKenzie, who leased and then bought the property. The second nine was added shortly after. (I’ve also seen the design attributed to Jock Melville, who also built NLE Horsham Valley GC.) Click here for the Bausch photo collection.
