North Hills Municipal Golf Club
About this course
North Hills Municipal Golf Club sits in Corry, a small city in northwestern Pennsylvania's Erie County. Designed by Ed Ault, a prolific architect known for creating accessible public courses throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest during the latter half of the twentieth century, the layout reflects the practical, playable approach typical of municipal golf from that era. Ault's work generally emphasized strategic variety within manageable yardages, making courses suitable for everyday golfers while maintaining enough challenge for competitive play. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, where gentle elevation changes and mature tree-lined fairways define the playing corridors. Northwestern Pennsylvania's landscape provides natural movement in the land without severe slopes, and courses here typically feature a mix of open and wooded holes. The routing likely takes advantage of these natural contours, with doglegs and elevation shifts creating visual interest and requiring thoughtful club selection. As a municipal facility, North Hills serves the local golfing community in Corry and the surrounding area, offering an affordable option in a region where public golf plays an important recreational role. The course provides a straightforward test of golf without excessive length or artificial difficulty, consistent with Ault's design philosophy of creating enjoyable rounds for a wide range of abilities. Seasonal conditions in this part of Pennsylvania allow for a traditional northern golf calendar, with the course typically open from spring through fall.

Getting there
North Hills Municipal Golf Club sits in the quiet northwest corner of Pennsylvania, best accessed via Erie International Airport roughly forty-five minutes to the northwest. The drive south from Erie traces the gentle descent from the lakeshore plateau into the rolling farmland and hardwood forests of Crawford County, with Corry emerging as a modest, unassuming gateway to the region's rural golf tradition. This is small-town America at its most genuine - no grand resort entrance, just a straightforward arrival at a municipal course that has served its community with quiet dignity for generations.
