About this course

Berwick Golf Club, located in Berwick, Pennsylvania, was designed by J. Franklin Meehan, a respected course architect active in the early-to-mid twentieth century. The course reflects Meehan's approach to routing and design within the constraints and character of its setting in central Pennsylvania's rolling terrain. Like many regional courses of that era, Berwick was built to serve the local golfing community and has maintained its role as a private club fixture in the region. The course takes advantage of the natural topography typical of the Susquehanna Valley area, with elevation changes and tree-lined fairways characteristic of Pennsylvania's inland courses. Meehan's design work generally emphasized playability alongside strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward thoughtful shot-making. At Berwick, the layout likely incorporates the architect's preference for routing that flows naturally through the landscape rather than imposing artificial patterns. As a long-established private club, Berwick has developed the traditions and membership culture common to courses of its vintage and standing in the region. The club has hosted regional and state amateur competitions over its history, contributing to competitive golf in central Pennsylvania. The course continues to serve its membership and maintains the character of a well-maintained regional private club, with the design bones and strategic elements that Meehan established remaining central to the member experience.

Getting there

The journey to Berwick Golf Club begins at Harrisburg International Airport (MDT), situated roughly ninety minutes southwest, or alternatively at the smaller Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP) to the northeast, each offering straightforward ground transport into the rolling terrain of central Pennsylvania. From either hub, the drive traces a path through the Susquehanna River valley, where industrial heritage and pastoral landscape interweave along state routes that gradually narrow as you approach the club's riverside setting in Berwick proper. The final miles unfold along quieter roads that descend toward the Susquehanna itself, the river's presence growing more pronounced as you near the club's grounds - a subtle but unmistakable signal of arrival at one of Pennsylvania's most storied golf destinations, where the water's edge has long defined both the course's character and the region's identity.
