Pine Valley is a most unique golfing creation. Pine Valley has been referred to as the Apex of a challenging golf course itself almost a Penal Course design. It yields without all that much effort and trouble to the superior golfing enthusiast not too much effort or trouble, however those in the high handicap league will find the whole course length more than a bit challenging.
A few years ago a number of elderly gentleman from golfing lore, from around the globe, gathered at Pine Valley Golf Club to compete in a tournament that had been planned to promote good relations as well as create deep friendships among golfers and golfing enthusiasts. One of the players a Canadian from Manitoba, strode briskly from the clubhouse towards the first tee and turned to look down the fairway. An expression of amazement froze his face. Stretching out before him for some 170 yards was a jumble of sand and underbrush that appeared to be more like the untamed seaside of Scotland than a parcel of the garden State of the Colonies. Beyond the sandy wastes was a lush fairway, closely protected on each side by tall pines. The fairway turned right and disappeared between the trees. There was nothing else in sight.
Looking across the links many a beginner or even most experienced golfing enthusiast can see both challenge and torment, heaven and the devil him or herself of the golfing world.
Variety is endless at this heaven on the golfing tour, adding both to each golfers pleasure or ultimate frustrations. No two tees turn to the same point on the compass and almost every single hole and vantage offers a scenic view that resembles any place but suburban Philadelphia. There are no unnatural hazards, no out of bounds and no hidden bunkers. Every bit of trouble is alarmingly, in view, just as Mother Nature, in her most devilish and beguiling mood might and would have placed it.
Pine Valley is a living monument to the Philadelphian who conceived it and almost single handily started to build and construct it. It is a shrine to the very spirit of the golf game and the sport of golfing. The conditions of its fairways and greens have long been the very standard of comparison to other clubs and facilities throughout the nation and indeed worldwide. Indeed it is horticultural one of the most unusual areas of the whole eastern seaboard of the United States. On top of that membership in this most prestigious club is of course highly coveted and treasured.
One of the earliest one-liners dating back to the clubs first decade had been repeated time and time again and applied to holes all over the golf and golfing world. It seemed that an awestruck newcomer finally reached the seventh tee and staring out at par 5 meekly asked Do you play this or take a picture of it on your cell phone ?
It can be said that you never forget your first love and you never forget the golf games played that you dreamt of or played out at Pine Valley Golf Club on the eastern seaboard of the US.
