Usually in way better shape than you’d expect, Pittsburgh National is a great place for a trusty round of golf. It’s not the most exciting in the area - there’s not a lot of holes that pop off the screen (the stretch from 10-13 probably being the standout). But it’s well maintained and surprisingly difficult, with a lot of holes that require precision + distance. Don’t play on a weekend.
