Belles Springs Golf Course

Belles Springs Golf Course sits in Mill Hall, a small community in Clinton County in central Pennsylvania's Bald Eagle Valley. The course was designed by Ed Ault, a prolific mid-Atlantic architect who built numerous daily-fee and municipal layouts across Pennsylvania, Maryland, and neighboring states from the 1960s through the 1990s. Ault's work typically emphasized playability for average golfers while working within modest budgets and natural terrain constraints. The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, where the Allegheny Plateau begins its descent toward the Susquehanna River watershed. Courses in this part of Pennsylvania generally feature tree-lined fairways, elevation changes that require thoughtful club selection, and greens that reflect the natural contours of the land. The setting provides a wooded, rural atmosphere typical of small-town Pennsylvania golf. As a daily-fee facility designed by Ault, Belles Springs serves the local golfing community and visitors traveling through central Pennsylvania. The course offers straightforward golf without excessive length or severe hazards, consistent with Ault's design philosophy of accessibility. Mill Hall's location along Route 220 places it within reach of golfers from Williamsport to the east and State College to the southwest, making it a practical option for recreational play in a region where golf courses tend to be modest in scale and unpretentious in character.
