Rolling Fields Golf Club

Rolling Fields Golf Club sits in Murrysville, a suburban community east of Pittsburgh in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The course was designed by John Chernega, a regional architect who worked primarily in western Pennsylvania during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Chernega's designs typically reflect practical, playable layouts suited to the rolling terrain common to the area, and Rolling Fields follows this pattern with holes routed across the natural contours of the property. The course occupies land characteristic of the western Pennsylvania landscape, where elevation changes and wooded corridors frame many holes. Layouts in this region often incorporate doglegs that follow the land's natural movement and greens positioned on plateaus or hillsides. The routing takes advantage of these features to create variety in shot requirements and visual interest without relying on extensive earthmoving or artificial shaping. Rolling Fields serves as a community course for the Murrysville area, providing golf in a setting that balances accessibility with the challenges presented by the terrain. The club operates within the tradition of many regional facilities in western Pennsylvania, where local membership and steady play sustain the course year-round. The layout offers a straightforward test for golfers familiar with the demands of hilly lies and tree-lined fairways common to courses built on this type of topography.
