About this course

Huntsville Golf Club occupies rolling terrain in Shavertown, a community in northeastern Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley region near Wilkes-Barre. The course reflects the work of multiple architects across its development, with Rees Jones contributing design elements alongside Keith Evans and Steve Weisser. This collaborative approach has shaped a layout that navigates the natural contours and wooded character typical of Pennsylvania's Endless Mountains foothills. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes and mature tree lines that define playing corridors and frame strategic decisions from the tee. Fairways move through varied topography, requiring golfers to manage uphill and downhill lies while accounting for how the terrain influences approach shots into greens. The design incorporates both open and enclosed holes, creating variety in visual perspective and shot requirements throughout the round. As a private club in a region with deep roots in Pennsylvania golf, Huntsville serves its membership with a course that balances challenge and playability across different skill levels. The northeastern Pennsylvania setting provides a traditional parkland experience, with seasonal changes in foliage adding character to the landscape. The club maintains its course and facilities to support regular member play and occasional competitive events within the local and regional golf community.

Getting there

The journey to Huntsville Golf Club begins at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP), situated roughly thirty minutes to the northeast, or alternatively through the larger hub of Lehigh Valley International (ABE), approximately forty-five minutes south. From either gateway, the drive winds through the rolling terrain of northeastern Pennsylvania's Pocono region, transitioning from interstate commerce into quieter state routes that ribbon through dense woodlands and pastoral valleys. The final approach to Shavertown carries you deeper into the verdant landscape of Luzerne County, where tree-lined roads and the gentle topography of the region signal your arrival at this understated gem nestled within the Pennsylvania highlands. Huntsville Golf Club emerges as a sanctuary of measured elegance - a destination where the journey itself becomes part of the experience, unmarked by fanfare yet unmistakably purposeful in its seclusion.
