Moselem Springs Golf Club
Hawley Quier, former publisher of the Reading Eagle newspaper in Reading, PA, had avocations of golf and fishing. He came from a golfing family. Every member has long been identified with the game in the Eastern Pennsylvania area. Let him relate how the Moselem Springs Golf Club came into being:
"Some years ago on what must have been the hottest day of that summer I sought relief for mind and spirit in the spring-fed pond on what was termed the 'family farm' at Moselem Springs. Moments later, raising my head from the surface of the water, I recall, vividly looking over the terrain and saying to myself, 'What a wonderful natural setting for a golf course!'
"The 'family farm' is now a memory and a golf course has been designed and constructed by George Fazio which has surpassed by far the scope of my 'dream' and also some preliminary plans which were drafted by other capable golf architects."
We of the Moselem Springs Golf Club have another dream - that our friends of today and others who we trust will be our friends of tomorrow may derive pleasure from a golfing enclave of great natural beauty and a course of unusual charm and excellence.
Moselem Springs Golf Club opened in 1964 and was host to the Women's Open Championship of the USGA in 1968 and is proud to be listed as one of the top courses in the nation.

COURSE REVIEW BY: CHRIS MAVROS, GOLFADELPHIA
One of the parts of any golf round I like to reminisce about is the journey that gets you to the First tee. That can mean a flight and hours in a rental car, or can be a few minutes from home, but whatever it is, I firmly believe it contributes to the experience a little more than we care to admit. I some times mention that journey (my Pasatiempo review comes to mind) and other out of state voyages are worth writing about a little as well.
Locally, I probably get a little more enjoyment than most moving into the bucolic areas nearby. The change in the setting is both geographic and a lot of times temporal. The rolling farmlands breezing by and then stumbling upon an occasional small town before leaving it behind and moving on to more hills and fields; it’s easy to forget that Philadelphia proper is an hour and some change away. Some times it’s moving into more mountainous terrain. Others, it’s the coast. It’s really the transitions of settings and surroundings that I enjoy. It’s part of the escapism that encompasses golf in my opinion..... Click Here To Read Hole By Hole
