Golf in Coopersburg

Coopersburg is a small borough in southern Lehigh County where the valley narrows before opening into Bucks County's upper tier to the south. The borough sits along Saucon Creek, which drains southward through the valley before joining the Lehigh River — and the creek's name connects Coopersburg to Saucon Valley, the broader geographic region that includes Saucon Valley Country Club in neighboring Hellertown. Coopersburg's position between Allentown-Bethlehem's southern suburbs and the more rural Bucks County townships to the south gives it a transitional character, neither fully suburban nor agricultural. The Lehigh Valley's density and the Route 309 corridor's northward pull shape the local market, while the more spacious land parcels available south of the main valley have made this part of Lehigh County attractive for golf facilities requiring acreage.
