Iā€™ll be back next weekend for another family trip!

Youā€™ll love it. Front nine is your traditional old school donald ross and the back nine is a whole different setting being on a hill but also very different architecture. #11 and #12 are a little funky but I love #10 and #15. Front nine has a whole is incredible, greens move A LOT. #3 in particular.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Anyone looking to play Friday? Iā€™m off work but home course closed for member guest. Canā€™t not play right?

772

I played it a couple of weeks ago. Iā€™ve played everywhere in Western PA but I had never played there. It was incredible. Spot on about the break. The greens were tough, especially the old nine. Iā€™d love to play it again some day.

Is there a WhatsApp or Discord for the Pittsburgh western pa group? If not happy to start one since thatā€™s how most of the random tee time filling and small meet ups happen in some other more active regions.

There isnā€™t but Iā€™d be in for that

Well it helps a TON in Baltimore and DC with #gettinginvolved. So here is the link to one I made, and named it Yinzers who donā€™t lay up, but just a naming luanch point. WhatsApp Group Invite

Newcomer here. Iā€™ve been binging the Nest podcast and am craving a Pittsburgh Roost - just threw my info on the google sheet. Would love to tee it up with others in the group here sometime.

Best spots to play in the fall around 7 springs resort? Going to Omni springs mid October but looking for 1-2 more rounds to play.

778

Are you talking about the Omni Bedford Springs? Or 7 Springs? They both have Golf Courses.

If you are at 7 Springs then Hidden Valley is a pretty close course.

779

Staying at 7 springs but driving to Bedford springs for a day to play the old course.

780

If you want something scenic for the fall, Northwinds Peninsula Golf Club should be about a 50 minute drive. Surrounded by trees it should look beautiful in October. Itā€™s also Arnold Palmers first design and can be a challenging course if you donā€™t keep it in the fairway.

Clearly youā€™ve never played with Mr. @Browcoww77. My man drives it up a gnatā€™s ass.

Peninsula Club is insanely tightā€¦

I would avoid the hidden valley course. Itā€™s an overpriced poor conditioned mountain course

785

Yeah, I played hidden valley maybe 7-8 years ago and planned to never go back. I think I am going to go with 7 springs, omni bedford springs old course, peninsula, and Donegal Highlands Golf Course.
