Hannastown Golf Club


About this course
Hannastown Golf Club sits in the rolling terrain east of Greensburg in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The course was designed by Emil Loeffler, a prolific regional architect who shaped numerous layouts across western Pennsylvania during the early-to-mid twentieth century. Loeffler typically worked with the natural contours of the land, and Hannastown reflects the characteristic topography of the area—modest elevation changes, tree-lined fairways, and a mix of open and wooded corridors that define strategy off the tee. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural movement, with holes that bend around hillsides and play across gentle valleys. Greens are generally modest in size and contour, consistent with the design sensibilities of Loeffler's era, and require accurate approach play. The course serves as a traditional private club for members in the Greensburg area, offering a straightforward test of golf without excessive length or modern embellishments. Hannastown represents the kind of community-centered club that has anchored small-city golf in Pennsylvania for generations. The layout provides a familiar challenge for regular play, with enough variety in hole length and direction to reward course knowledge and thoughtful shot-making. It remains a quiet fixture in the regional golf landscape, maintaining the character of its original design while serving its membership.
