The North Course is slept on but absolutely stunning. Challenging but fair and a real treat to walk. Don’t go to Firestone without playing this course and make sure to hit the ball straight!

Narrow, firm, fair. Pristine conditions. Consistent greens. You should walk this course with a caddie and if you hit the ball straight, you can score.

Excellent value. Nice attention to detail for a public course (like trimming off the lower branches of trees so you can play around them). I can’t say it’s all pristine, but definitely fun round of golf and worth a the hop from Pittsburgh to give it a whirl.

One of the gems of affordable public golf in America. A Stanley Thompson design that the city is finally taking the time to ensure turf health and architectural characteristics are preserved.
