The best courses you can play in Madison, 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.”

“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+…”

“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?”

“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.”

“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.”

“Unique layout with a couple quirky/odd holes. The condition was beyond terrible with the drainage being just awful. Not a fun experience.”
