Sweet Water Golf Course and Driving Range

Practice Facility

See Our New More Compact Driving Range!!!

What's Going On ??

Parking has been a problem on busy nights and with the opening of our new facility "The Loft" this fall, parking will be a huge problem. In order to better serve the golf course and "The Loft" customers, we were forced to make a tough decision. As of Thursday, June 21, 2007 the range closed and but now is reopen in a new area! Everyone is welcome to use the facility that is now located to the right of the orgional range.  There are restrictions due to the size of the property and #8 tees does come into play.  Everyone is restricted to hitting shots no more than 150 yards.  For those of us that make a poor swing, every now and then, and fade or slice the ball, any players on the 8th tees are in danger of being hit. Don't let this stop you from practicing. Our putting green and chipping area are always open for you to sharpen up that important part of your game and then you can go to the new range and work on your full swing!

As for the old range - The upper half of the range will be converted into a new parking area. A smaller range area will be utilized adjacent to the existing range. The new smaller range is available for limited use for special events, lessons and clinics. We will keep you informed of the progress of the parking lot and the new range.  Feel free to E-Mail us or call 215-541-3111 if you have any questions.  We apologize for any inconvenience, but when everything is completed, the golf course and banquet facility will be better for all of us.  
   

Our range, chipping area and putting green are surrounded by a 9 hole course, giving the golfer a mental focus when practicing. We have clubs you can use for free (by leaving keys or a license in the pro shop) if you want to hit some balls but have left your clubs at home. We also offer private golf instruction for any age golfer, junior clinics and golf schools for youth to meet all of your golfing needs. Our facility includes the following:
