Quicksilver Golf Club

Carved from the rolling hills of McDonald, Pennsylvania, Quicksilver Golf Club presents a demanding, yet fair test, where the ghosts of hickory-shafted golfers might still find familiarity. This late 20th-century design unfolds across a landscape of mature hardwoods, rewarding strategic play more than sheer power. Don't be surprised to witness the occasional train rumbling along the periphery - the sounds of its labor an interesting juxtaposition to the tranquility found throughout the property. Architect J. Michael Poellot's layout favors those who can shape the ball, with subtle doglegs and cleverly placed bunkers dictating approach angles. While not long by modern standards, Quicksilver requires precision and creativity around its undulating greens. A course where the thinking golfer is rewarded as much as the power player. Though it hasn't hosted major professional tournaments, Quicksilver maintains a strong regional presence among avid golfers and its membership is known for its unpretentious camaraderie. Many members find enjoyment as part of a number of tightly knit groups and are always willing to accept new golfers to the course into their ranks.
