    Yo, Montour Heights got that local flavor. Dye design, so you already know it’s got angles, attitude, and a little chaos. Layout’s unique, creative, keeps you thinkin’ on every swing. Not every hole’s a banger, but the vibe’s real.

    Firm and FAST! Routing does a good job of playing nicely through some extreme elevation changes. Definitely challenging, but all holes can be gotten — misses can catch up with you quickly. Don’t hit the false fronts and be careful with those downhill putts. Loving it.

    What used to be one of the most interesting (if difficult) courses in Pittsburgh has become one of its worst.

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 Midway, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
