Beechwood Golf Course

Beechwood Golf Course sits in Falls Creek, a small community in Clearfield County in central Pennsylvania. The course was designed by Fred Crawford, a regional architect active in western and central Pennsylvania during the mid-20th century. Crawford's work typically emphasized playability and integration with natural terrain, characteristics that define many courses in Pennsylvania's forested hill country. The layout occupies rolling woodland terrain characteristic of the Allegheny Plateau region, where elevation changes and tree-lined corridors shape the playing experience. Courses in this area of Pennsylvania often feature narrow fairways carved through dense hardwood forests, with greens that reflect the natural contours of the land. The setting provides a traditional parkland experience common to small-town Pennsylvania golf, where the game unfolds within a framework of mature trees and modest but meaningful topographical movement. Beechwood serves as a community course for the Falls Creek area and surrounding Clearfield County, offering accessible golf in a region where the sport has deep recreational roots among local residents. The course reflects the straightforward design values of its era, prioritizing honest shot-making over elaborate features. Like many Pennsylvania courses of similar vintage and scale, Beechwood provides a familiar round of golf that emphasizes accuracy and course management within a wooded, hilly landscape.
