    A 1923 par 70 Seth Raynor design that boasts one of the best collections of greens ever created by the legendary architect. This is template golf at its very best. Immaculate Poa greens and approach area allow this course to play firm and fast.

    Fantastic track. Will test you with every shot you have. No holding back, just have to step up to the tee box, pull out driver and fire away. Greens are the fastest I’ve ever played. On the first hole, had 168 out.

    Not a dull hole of the 18. No two holes alike. Very challenging but fair. I average less than one lost ball per round. Greens are large, tricky, and usually fast and pure. Large bunkers can be very difficult to escape from.

    Pittsburgh field club is a rare great walk in Pittsburgh. With so many hills in the area walking a course in the area is usually a tall task. This isn’t the case here. While a few uphill holes on the front may test your legs the course flattens on the back.

    Course can be brutally difficult, yet still fun to play. Greens are phenomenal and kept pristine.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Pittsburgh, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
