Around 50% of the original fairway and greenside bunkers were turned into grass bunkers but playing the course as it currently stands there are still plenty of hazards to navigate to keep your attention especially when the fescue is up. The course still tips out at 7100+…

As a western Pennsylvanian golfer, Latrobe country club has always been on the short list of courses I wanted to play. This is where Arnie learned the game and his family were members/employees for decades.

Once a PA public course gem, the conditions of toms run have hit a new low. Dead spots on most greens(some with 0 grass), rough tee box’s, and brown fairways all lead to a disappointing experience.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Latrobe, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
