#16 Great Bear Golf Club

Nestled within the scenic mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania, Great Bear Golf Club features a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course. His 18-hole championship design demonstrates why he has been considered the master of his game for decades. Nicklaus has taken the natural advantages of the site and worked harmoniously with them to create a course that is an experience in golf and aesthetics.

Integrating the three lakes, several streams, wetlands, small bridges, and rolling terrain, Nicklaus has created a course that presents itself differently to golfers of varying skill levels. For the experienced player, the course offers interesting challenges and pro tees that will bring out the best in even the strongest golfers. Yet it’s also designed to be a course with the ultimate in fairness and playability. It ensures for golfers of all abilities an enjoyable experience, round after round, and reveals its intricacies and craftsmanship the more you play it. Great Bear is destined to be one of the Golden Bear’s most-talked-about layouts.

Lederach Golf Club

Lederach Golf Club is Eastern Pennsylvania’s newest creation by course architect Kelly Blake Moran. The outstanding layout just north of Philadelphia is off exit 31 on the Northeast Extension amid gorgeous rolling farmland and offers true links feel.

Lederach Golf Club’s difficulty won’t be found in forced carries or other modern design gimmicks. Rather, the course will utilize the property’s ample undulations, scenic ridges, and sweeping valleys. False fronts, collection areas, grass bunkers, and swales are just some of the natural hazards Moran has incorporated into his “land-based” design for Lederach.

The layout features tees specifically for junior players, as well as four other sets ranging in distances of 4,989 to 7,023 yards. With holes allowing players to run out drives or chase approaches to greens, as well as a tee box to suit the lengths and strengths of any player, Lederach promises to be an instant classic on the region’s golf scene.
