| Why was
Moselem Springs Golf Club built?
Hawley Quier, an avid golfer and former publisher of the
Reading Eagle in Reading, PA was swimming in the pond on the
“family farm”, raised his head from the water, looked
over the terrain, and said, what a wonderful natural setting
for a golf course. Moselem is here today!
Who designed the golf course?
The course was designed and constructed by the acclaimed George
Fazio. George had some help from his young nephew, Tom Fazio,
who was just beginning his golf course design career.
“Moselem Springs was a very special place for my Uncle
George and helped put the Fazio name on the map.” –
Tom Fazio
How challenging is the golf course?
Moselem Springs Golf Club is a 6808 par 70 course from the championship tees. The five different sets of tees offer a playable and enjoyable course to all levels of golfers. Moselem Springs Golf Club is widely considered as one of the most challenging, scenic, and historical courses in Pennsylvania – hosting the 1968 United States Women’s Open Championship.
How has the golf course been recognized?
Moselem Springs Golf Club holds a stellar reputation among the golf industry. We have been selected to host numerous Pennsylvania Golf Association events – 1996, 2011 Open Championship, 2006, 2016 Amateur Championship, 2012 Senior Amateur Championship and 2014 Middle-Amateur Championship. We are consistently recognized by Golf Digest as being ranked “Best in State” and have been listed in the “Top 100 Courses” as well.
What types of grasses were used for the fairway and
greens and how is the course irrigated?
The fairways of Moselem are a Rye-Poa blend. Both the greens
and tees are a Bent-Poa blend. These particular grasses offer
a phenomenal putting and hitting surface for the golfer to be
challenged. Moselem waters its surface through a double line
computerized irrigation system. This is to ensure the best quality
in course conditions.
What about practice facilities?
The practice facility is located just off the first
tee. The facility offers a grass hitting area with multiple
targets. A short game area for pitching, chipping, bunker and
putting practice is also available. The range is equipped with
a state of the art launch monitor, computer teaching analysis,
and the latest club fitting equipment for your
game improvement.
Are carts and caddies available?
Carts are a necessary part of golf today. However, walking is permitted Tuesday thru Friday and after 12 Noon weekends and holidays, with you carrying your own golf bag. Caddies are not available at the present time.
What about maintenance of the course?
Tim O’Neil, our Grounds Superintendent, along with his
crew, his knowledge, and 30 years of experience at Moselem have
enabled Moselem’s maintenance program to rival those of
the best courses in the country.
When did the course open?
Moselem Springs Golf Club opened in 1964 and was host to the
