Experience challenging terrain and magnificent views at the Highlands Golf Club at Seven Springs’ par 71 mountaintop golf course. You will use every club in your bag on this destination golf course! Measuring at just over 6,500 yards, the Highlands Golf Club at Seven Springs course takes maximum advantage of its mountain vistas and the picturesque beauty of the Laurel Highlands. The dynamic layout makes this a course that’s beginner-friendly yet presents a challenging round for advanced players.
Champion Lakes has earned a reputation as a country club open to the public. Its well-groomed greens and fairways reflect the pride and dedication of original owners Dick Groat and Pittsburgh Pirates teammate, Jerry Lynch. Groat and Lynch converted the course from an apple orchard and handbuilt Champion Lakes into the masterpiece it is today. Champion Lakes is a wooded 6,608 layout with tightly tree-lined fairways and challenging, but always-meticulous greens. The strategically placed lakes and pins present a challenge for even the most competitive golfer, a true testament to the course record of only 5-under par, held by PGA Tour Professional Rocco Mediate, and golf legend Arnold Palmer’s low round of 68.
Nestled at the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains in Western Pennsylvania lies one of golf’s genuine American treasures — Latrobe Country Club.
