Sewickley Heights at Sewickley Heights Golf Club

Sewickley Heights Golf Club, a sanctuary above Pittsburgh in Sewickley Heights, whispers tales of a bygone era when golf was a gentleman's game played across rolling, pastoral landscapes. The course, a classic early American design, revels in its Golden Age roots, demanding strategic play and a keen understanding of its subtly contoured greens. This is not a course to be overpowered; rather, success is found in thoughtful approaches and precise execution into well-defended, classic green complexes.

Designed by famed architect A.W. Tillinghast in 1923, the course features generous fairways that belie the challenges that lie ahead. While not a particularly punishing walk, the gently rolling hills and mature trees frame each hole, creating a sense of secluded tranquility. Subsequent refinements have honored Tillinghast's original vision, preserving the course's inherent character and strategic intent.

Sewickley Heights has remained a haven for its tight-knit membership, preferring a low profile and an emphasis on the camaraderie that flourishes within its traditional clubhouse walls. While largely absent from the national stage, the club’s understated elegance and dedication to the spirit of the game has cultivated an incredibly loyal following. The club is known for its fantastic social environment and casual grill area, offering burgers and dogs alongside stunning panoramic views.
