Originally laid out by Herbert Strong, the Old course has since been renovated by Perry Maxwell and, more recently, Tom Fazio.
It’s one of three 18-hole layouts at Saucon Valley, where the club has hosted a number of national competitions down the years including the US Amateur in 1951, a couple of US Senior Opens and the US Women’s Open in 2009.
A round on the Old ends with three very strong holes: water threatens the left side of the green at the long par four 16th, a creek crosses the fairway of the 422-yard 17th whilst the uphill 18th hole plays to a difficult, sand-protected putting surface on the home green.

It’s said Perry Maxwell's interest in golf was sparked by reading H. J. Whigham’s book, How to Play Golf. Encouraged by his wife, Maxwell laid out a short course in 1913 on their dairy farm.
