Welcome to Burlington Springs Golf and Country Club
Our club facility is open to Yearly and Daily Fee players. The golf course was built by Larry Bunkowsky in 1962 and opened in 1963. The greens are Penncross grass and the fairways are Merion Bluegrass.
We are dedicated to offering you the best possible service and playing conditions… and are constantly striving to improve. Your patronage is always appreciated and we hope you enjoy the test of golf Burlington Springs offers.

Local Rules:

- Ball in water off tee #9, #11, #17 – 1 stroke penalty – proceed to drop zone

Music:
Music is permitted on the course at a reasonable volume that does not disturb other golfers. Specifically, music coming from an electric cart or bag/pull cart should only be heard by the listening group when they are in close proximity. If the music exceeds this volume our staff will ask that it be turned down or off.
Pace of Play:
Burlington Springs targets a 4 hour round for the collective enjoyment of our customers.
Our Players Assistants may offer pace of play tips to slower groups to help keep the course on schedule – please follow their advice or instructions. All golfers can benefit by following these tips (below) and promoting them to the rest of their group. Thanks for your observance.
Pace of Play Tips:
- Stay in POSITION – keep up to the group in front of you, then you won’t ever have to worry about the group behind you
- Play READY golf – whoever is ready to play, regardless of distance, should hit or even putt when safe to do so
- Spend 2 mins MAX looking for your lost ball – keep a close eye on where it went in and drop another quickly if you know it’s gone
- Play APPROPRIATE TEES – Blue tees are suited to players who regularly shoot in the mid 80s or lower. Consider moving up to the Light Blues from the Whites if you’ve lost some distance. Remember, shorter shots into the greens typically produce better scores
- Minimize PRE-SHOT ROUTINE – have a pre-shot routine but keep it simple, take one practice swing, trust your first line when putting, be ready to hit when it’s your turn, don’t be a “Bryson DeChambeau”.
- Use your POWER CART effectively – drop your partner at his/her ball and drive to yours, or park midway between and walk over
- Have great CONVERSATIONS – but don’t start telling the story when it’s your turn to hit or putt.
Remember, the entire golf course is behind you and, if you’re playing at a 5 hr pace, then so is EVERYONE else. Be considerate of that and we’ll all wait less and enjoy our round at Burlington Springs even more.
