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.

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.

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.
