Mount Lebanon Golf Course

Mount Lebanon Golf Course sits in the southern suburbs of Pittsburgh, occupying rolling terrain characteristic of the Allegheny Plateau. Designed by Craig Schreiner and opened in the mid-twentieth century, the course serves as a municipal facility for the township of Mount Lebanon, one of the region's established residential communities. The layout reflects the practical constraints and accessible design philosophy common to public courses of its era, routed across moderately hilly ground with mature tree cover framing many holes. The course measures modest by contemporary standards, with a traditional par that accommodates players of varying abilities. Elevation changes provide natural interest throughout the round, and several holes play across or along slopes that require thoughtful club selection and course management. The property's wooded character creates definition between holes while the topography ensures few flat lies, lending the course a character distinct from flatter parkland designs elsewhere in western Pennsylvania. As a municipal facility, Mount Lebanon serves a broad cross-section of local golfers and maintains a straightforward, community-oriented atmosphere. The course provides accessible golf in a suburban setting where land pressures have limited the preservation of older layouts, making it a valued recreational asset for the township. Its location within the greater Pittsburgh area places it among a regional collection of public and private courses that reflect the city's long golfing tradition, though Mount Lebanon itself operates without pretense as a neighborhood course shaped by its terrain and its role in the community.
