The best golf courses in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania

“Not a dull hole of the 18. No two holes alike. Very challenging but fair. I average less than one lost ball per round. Greens are large, tricky, and usually fast and pure. Large bunkers can be very difficult to escape from.”

“When people mention Donald Ross this is the first course that comes to mind. Massive elevation changes. Strategic hole designs. And the nastiest false fronts in golf. Edgewood is truly timeless. One of the WPGA founding clubs the course is steeped in history.”

“A shortish par 70 the par 5s are a blast and the par 3s are stout. A fairly open layout sits on a classic western Pa piece of land. Very hilly, lots of fairway contouring, and excellent green complexes. The greens are firm and fast and the breaks are anything but subtle.”

“Hannastown, like many traditional western PA layouts, is compiled of fast greens and strategic tee shots. The course feels very old fashioned with a subtle clubhouse and a practice green that shares space with the 18th green.”

“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.”

“A really fun test of Pittsburgh golf. Not absurdly long, but have to hit the ball to all the right spots around the greens. Sloping but not to the point you couldn’t walk it. A great country club for someone who wants to play a lot and not get burnt out by a course.”

“A strong variety of par 4s, lots of fairway sloping, and impeccable green conditions makes for a fun and engaging loop. The par 3s are challenging but the par 5s provide scoring opportunities (outside of 17). Even from a relatively short 6,300 yds the course can play wildly different…”

“A course of extremes. Eminently playable, with a fun layout and generally good conditions. Also an absolutely miserable experience to try and get a tee time, talk to any of the humans that work there, and often interact with the other people playing there.”

“The infamous Grand View Golf course. A true test of what you value vs what you don’t. I value that it’s a course that knows what they are. This is a shittily maintained course, with some of the worst tee boxes you’ll find.”

“Not a ton of trouble or strategy but literally the smallest greens I’ve ever played. (We’re talking maybe 1/3 the size of a normal green) Short sided no matter what direction you miss, but they’re flat and not super fast so practice your short game.”

“A south pittsburgh staple Victory hills is one of those public tracks that’s on everyone’s rotation. Clubhouse that looks 100 years old? Check. Carts with no auto brake that might run on diesel? Check. A hole that borders a horse stable right in the flight path of most slicers?”

“Really want to come back here and play not in the context of a scramble. Deeply enjoyable in all the ways you want a golf course to be.”
