History
Welcome to Moselem Springs
One of America’s Greatest Golf Courses
Moselem Springs Golf Club in Fleetwood, PA has been recognized as one of America’s greatest golf courses. Set in the lush, rolling hills of Berks County, it is truly a spectacular “golfing enclave of great natural beauty and a course of unusual charm and excellence”, to quote its founder, Hawley Quier.
For 60 years, this pristine, George Fazio designed course has lured the finest golfers in the State and beyond, as well as been a venue for teaching and nurturing those new to the game. It is also the perfect locale for building and networking corporate relationships. As a golf-only club, with a highly acclaimed restaurant, the focus is always on a sublime experience…
Moselem Springs Golf Club is a 6808 yard, par 70 course from the championship tees. The six different sets of tees offer a playable and enjoyable course to all levels of golfers, including juniors and beginners. The course is widely considered as one of the most challenging, scenic, and historical courses in Pennsylvania – hosting the 1968 United States Women’s Open Championship, 1996 and 2011 Pennsylvania Open’s and home to the prestigious annual Hawley Quier Memorial.
1960
Hawley Quier & sister, Edith Quier Flippin, hire acclaimed Golf Course Architect, George Fazio, to design a golf course using a 235-acre parcel of land owned by Moselem Development. Fazio was a Philadelphia native and past Canadian champion, who almost won the US Open against Ben Hogan and Lloyd Mangram in the famous playoff of 1950. Fazio had an eye for how a golf hole should play, look, and blend into the terrain.
1961
John Guenther, Jr., who had just won the Philadelphia Amateur Championship (1960), PA Amateur (1952) and the PA Open Championship (1960) was hired to be the new club’s first General Manager.
1962–1964
This is one of Fazio’s initial design proposals. He & his team, which included his 18-year old nephew Tom, began course construction in April 1962. The project cost was approximately $400,000 and 2 years later, in the summer of 1964, Moselem Springs Golf Club was officially open.

His wins include 2 Pennsylvania Opens, 2 Philadelphia Opens, 3 Philadelphia Section Championships and the Caribbean Tour’s Jamaica Open. His most notable win, and one of the best comebacks in golf occurred in 1950 when he defeated Henry Picard 1-up in the semi-final match of the PGA Championship.

Moselem Springs Ownership
It’s their passion for the Lehigh Valley that fuels the Jaindl family’s work with a certain grit and grind. They’ve seen many changes in the community over the past half-decade, and have always done their part to improve it through responsible land usage that enhances the surrounding communities, beautifies their vestiges, and provides opportunities for their neighbors.
The Jaindl family has always lived by the doctrine that they will conduct business with the utmost honesty and integrity. They only deserve your respect if they have given it and earned it through their words and actions. This tried and true purpose was forged back in 1936 when John L. Jaindl bought Fred Jaindl a few turkeys at the county fair. Fred, an exuberant and ambitious boy, raised those first turkeys into a calling — a business that grew so much larger than they could ever have imagined. What started as a family-run turkey farm, the family business has blossomed into an enterprise that focuses on the growth and success of the community.
Sincerly,
The Jaindl Family
