Golf Course Management with Justin Smith

Ground Under Repair

When the 1990s boom golf saw dried up, a lot of new golf courses were immediately put into danger. Many of them have gone out of business, but those who have remained have established themselves as fantastic golf experiences. Perhaps there is no better example of that than Olde Homestead. Nestled in a corner of the Lehigh Valley, it's a bit of a drive from Allentown or Bethlehem in Pennsylvania, but it thrives because it is a destination worth driving out to. Justin Smith of Olde Homestead joins me this week to discuss the course's history, the property's history, what makes the course unique, and the business of running a golf course after the salad days of the nineties were over. Olde Homestead is a fantastic public golf course and anyone who can get to that part of Pennsylvania owes it to themselves to set some time aside for it someday.
