The best golf courses in Murrysville, Pennsylvania

“Fantastic track. Will test you with every shot you have. No holding back, just have to step up to the tee box, pull out driver and fire away. Greens are the fastest I’ve ever played. On the first hole, had 168 out.”

“A 1923 par 70 Seth Raynor design that boasts one of the best collections of greens ever created by the legendary architect. This is template golf at its very best. Immaculate Poa greens and approach area allow this course to play firm and fast.”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“With a meandering routing that weaves through the rolling hills Birdsfoot perfectly encapsulates golf in western PA. Elevation changes on nearly every hole Birdsfoot leans into the terrain. The par 3s are varied and a perfect collection for matchplay.”

“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…”

“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.”

“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.”
