In 1920, 16 business leaders from Bethlehem Steel acquired 205 acres of farmland along the Saucon Creek to establish a family-oriented country club. Over the past century, Saucon Valley Country Club has evolved gracefully, guided by a genuine concern for the recreational aspirations of its members and a commitment to excellence in golf, racquet sports and swimming.
Today, the Club encompasses more than 850 acres and is home to 60 holes of golf with three championship courses, a six-hole Short Course and a Practice Facility. The Old, Grace and Weyhill Courses have each been ranked among the Top 100 golf courses in the country. The Racquets and Fitness Departments offer outdoor and indoor courts, platform tennis, squash and a fully equipped Fitness Center. SVCC also boasts 10 dining venues, four swimming pools, fly fishing and a 13-bedroom 18th century Guest House for overnight lodging.
Renowned golf course architect Herbert Strong designed the original 18-hole Saucon Course, which later became the Old Course. The William and David Gordon-designed Grace Course was completed in 1957, followed by the Weyhill Course in 1968.
Through eight major United States Golf Association events, along with future championships including the 2026 U.S. Junior Amateur, 2032 and 2042 U.S. Senior Opens, 2038 U.S. Women’s Amateur and 2051 U.S. Amateur, Saucon Valley Country Club has attained enduring national stature. The pride and sense of obligation to preserve Saucon traditions and high standards of excellence still pervade the membership today.
