About this course

Pittsburgh North Golf Club, nestled in the rolling hills just north of the Steel City, presents a classic, no-nonsense golfing experience shaped by its unpretentious Allegheny Plateau setting. The course, while not steeped in architectural pedigree, offers a satisfying test for golfers of all skill levels. The layout is predominantly parkland in character, with tree-lined fairways that reward accuracy over sheer power. Designed to slightly favor a right-to-left ball flight, Pittsburgh North possesses several cleverly placed doglegs and subtle elevation changes that make club selection crucial. While lacking the fanfare of nationally-ranked courses, the club offers a pure golfing experience, a welcome respite from modern championship designs. The club has a loyal membership base of steel-collar workers to doctors. The club is known for its casual atmosphere and family-oriented feel, where the post-round conversation flows as freely as the local brews. It's a place where the handshake still means something, and the scores reflect a genuine love for the game.

Getting there

Pittsburgh North Golf Club lies just beyond the northern edge of the city, a twenty-five-minute drive from Pittsburgh International Airport through gently rolling terrain that transitions from industrial river valleys to wooded hillsides. The route follows Interstate 279 north before peeling off onto quieter state roads that wind through Bakerstown, a pastoral pocket of Allegheny County where the suburban sprawl gives way to open farmland and dense hardwood groves. The final turn reveals the club tucked discreetly into the landscape, its understated entrance a fitting prelude to one of western Pennsylvania's most respected private sanctuaries.
