About this course
Southpointe, carved into the rolling hills of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, presents a strategic challenge forged from reclaimed industrial land. This late 20th-century design, sculpted by Arthur Hills, favors the thoughtful player over brute strength, demanding precision into tiered greens that are often guarded by deep bunkers. Wide fairways belie the strategic placement of hazards, rewarding calculated risk-taking rather than bomb-and-gouge tactics. Hills, known for his environmental sensitivity, routed the course to take full advantage of the natural undulations of the terrain, transforming what was once a scar on the landscape into a verdant and engaging golf experience. The course has hosted the Senior Players Championship from 1992-1997, adding a touch of professional pedigree to its local renown. Southpointe isn't necessarily mentioned in golfing circles, but it cultivates a strong sense of community amongst its members, who enjoy the accessibility and playability of the layout. The clubhouse, a comfortable and inviting space, is known among members for its post-round camaraderie and the consistently high quality of its casual fare. It's a place where the genuine enjoyment of the game, rather than pretense, takes center stage.
