Golf: Makefield Highlands Golf Club is a public course just 4 miles from the Cottage. We're not golfers ourselves, but the course gets great reviews from people we know who've played there. Here's how it's described on the club's website: 'Designed with balance in mind, Rick Jacobson has seamlessly blended just the right amount of challenge with playability, allowing guests of all skill levels to have a quality experience. The only true links-style golf course in the Tri-State area, Makefield Highlands will treat you with our unique layout, fescue-lined fairways, and meticulous course conditions. Rolling fairways, strategically placed hazards, and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside combine to create a golf course you will be proud to call your home club. To help you finely tune your game, we also offer a tremendous practice facility. Featuring a driving range with both mat and grass hitting areas, a large putting green, and a separate chipping green with bunkers, there is no need to go anywhere else to sharpen your skills. If you need some help along the way, our Professional Teaching Staff is ready with a variety of lesson programs.'
