Pittsburgh North Golf Club

About this course
Pittsburgh North Golf Club's Fox Course is a daily-fee facility located in Bakerstown, approximately twenty miles north of downtown Pittsburgh in the rolling terrain of western Pennsylvania. Designed by O. J. Price, the course occupies land characteristic of the region, with moderate elevation changes and wooded corridors that define many holes. The layout reflects mid-to-late twentieth-century design principles common to accessible public courses in the area, offering a straightforward test for recreational golfers. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography without dramatic earthmoving, and players encounter a mix of tree-lined fairways and more open holes where accuracy off the tee is rewarded. Water features come into play on several holes, and the greens present modest undulation suitable for a range of skill levels. The course serves the northern Pittsburgh suburbs and provides a convenient option for golfers seeking an affordable round in a setting removed from urban density. Pittsburgh North operates as part of the region's network of accessible public golf facilities, catering to local leagues, casual players, and visitors exploring golf options in the greater Pittsburgh area. The club maintains a relaxed atmosphere typical of daily-fee courses, with a focus on pace of play and accommodating a steady flow of golfers throughout the season. The Fox Course represents a practical choice for those prioritizing convenience and value in the northern reaches of Allegheny County.

Getting there
Pittsburgh North Golf Club lies just beyond the northern fringe of Pittsburgh, most easily accessed via Pittsburgh International Airport, roughly forty minutes west and south of the property. The drive northeast from the city traces a gradual ascent into the rolling, wooded hills of Allegheny County, where suburban sprawl gives way to quiet farmland and dense hardwood canopy. The final approach along Bakerstown Road feels decidedly rural - a winding ribbon through pasture and forest that belies the club's proximity to Pennsylvania's steel capital, arriving at a secluded enclave where the game unfolds in near-total seclusion.
