About this course

Woodside at Butlers Golf Club is a private facility located in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, a small borough situated along the Monongahela River southeast of Pittsburgh. The course was designed by John W. Butler, a regional architect active in western Pennsylvania during the mid-twentieth century. Butler's work in the area typically emphasized routing that worked with the natural terrain of the Allegheny Plateau region, characterized by rolling hills, wooded corridors, and elevation changes that define much of the landscape south of Pittsburgh. The course occupies property that reflects the topographical character common to this part of Pennsylvania, where golf holes often move through mature hardwood forests and across terrain that can shift significantly from tee to green. Layouts in this region generally require thoughtful club selection and course management, as elevation changes and tree-lined fairways shape strategy and shot-making. The setting provides a traditional parkland experience typical of established clubs in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. As a private club, Butlers Golf Club serves a membership drawn from the surrounding communities in the Monongahela Valley. The club maintains the traditions common to regional private facilities, offering a home course for regular play and member events. The relative proximity to Pittsburgh places it within the network of private clubs that have served the area's golfing community for decades, providing a venue focused on member golf rather than tournament play or public access.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Butlers Golf Club begin at Pittsburgh International Airport, roughly forty-five minutes northwest of the property. The drive southeast follows the Monongahela River valley through a landscape of rolling Appalachian foothills and remnants of western Pennsylvania's industrial heritage, gradually giving way to quieter, wooded terrain as you approach Elizabeth. The final miles wind through modest river towns and forested ridges before delivering you to the secluded grounds of Butlers - a hidden gem tucked into the hills south of Pittsburgh, where the hum of the city fades into the stillness of old-growth hardwoods and carefully sculpted fairways.
