About this course
Summit Hills at Summit Hills Golf Club, nestled in the rolling hills of Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, offers a classic golfing experience steeped in Northeastern tradition. This mature parkland course, dating back to the mid-20th century, presents a deceptively challenging layout. The fairways, while generous in spots, are guarded by strategically placed bunkers and mature trees that demand thoughtful club selection, favoring a controlled draw more than a booming drive. Originally designed to blend seamlessly with the natural topography, the course has seen subtle refinements over the years, enhancing its playability while preserving its original character. This has been a course and a club for locals, never hosting significant professional tournaments, Summit Hills retains its appeal as a beloved community hub where golf and socializing intertwine. The membership at Summit Hills is known for its unpretentious camaraderie, reflecting the down-to-earth spirit of the region. Beyond the greens, the clubhouse buzzes with a relaxed atmosphere, and conversations often center around the day's rounds, local sports, and the next member-guest tournament. And for those in the know, a post-round visit isn't complete without sampling their renowned crab bisque, a culinary staple that embodies the comfort and tradition found at the heart of Summit Hills.
