Lakes at Treesdale Golf & Country Club

The Lakes course at Treesdale Golf & Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Gibsonia, a northern suburb of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County. Arnold Palmer designed the layout, which opened in the late 1980s as part of a residential community development. The course takes its name from the water features that figure prominently in the routing, with ponds and streams affecting play on multiple holes across the property.

The design reflects Palmer's characteristic approach from this period, emphasizing strategic shot values and playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural topography of western Pennsylvania. The routing moves through wooded corridors and open areas, with elevation changes that provide variety in stance and perspective. Water hazards require careful club selection and course management, particularly on approach shots where carries to greens are defended by ponds positioned to penalize miscalculation.

Treesdale operates as a private country club serving the northern Pittsburgh suburbs, with the Lakes course as its primary championship layout. The facility includes additional amenities typical of full-service clubs in the region, including dining and social programming for members. The course hosts member competitions and regional amateur events, serving as the centerpiece of club life in a community where golf integrates with residential living.
