I’m planning to hit the greens soon and I’m curious about the best golf courses around Pittsburgh, PA.

I’ve heard a lot about some local spots, but I’d love to get some recommendations from fellow golfers. Here are a few things I’m looking for:

  • Public and Private Courses: I’m interested in both options as I might play with different groups.
  • Course Features: Any courses with unique features, challenging holes, or scenic views?
  • Reviews and Experiences: Personal experiences can help a ton—what do you love (or not love) about certain courses?
  • Amenities: Restaurants, practice areas, or anything else that makes your experience better?

If anyone can share their top picks or any hidden gems I’ve missed, I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance for your insights!

How about Edgewood Country Club? I found their course design quite unique with some tricky holes that keep you on your toes! Plus, the clubhouse is lovely for post-round relaxation.

I haven’t tried Edgewood yet but have heard mixed reviews. Some say it’s great, while others feel it’s overrated. What has been your experience?

I think Edgewood is fun, but I sometimes wish the food options at the clubhouse were better. Still, a good place overall!
