The best golf courses in Eighty Four, 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.”

“Pittsburgh field club is a rare great walk in Pittsburgh. With so many hills in the area walking a course in the area is usually a tall task. This isn’t the case here. While a few uphill holes on the front may test your legs the course flattens on the back.”

“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.”

“A tasteful Willy Park jr design Chartiers is delightful. A par 70 that’s short yardage lulls you into trouble. Deceptive fairway contouring makes hitting a fairway an accomplishment and the firm+fast+subtle breaking greens makes playing out of the fairway all the more important.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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?”

“Quirky, Pittsburgh golf at its finest. Doglegs, elevation changes, and holes you struggle to explain to people. That has its ups (hole 3) and its downs (holes 5 through 7 are a shooting gallery nightmare of design). It’s way too crowded, in ok shape, but a fun home base.”
