Pittsburgh North Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Pittsburgh North Golf Course, and what should I expect regarding weather?

We always recommend late spring through early fall for Pittsburgh North. You'll find the course in prime condition, especially May-June and September-October, when the humidity isn't stifling and the fall foliage adds a beautiful backdrop. Just be prepared for potential afternoon thunderstorms in July and August- always check the forecast.

Is Pittsburgh North Golf Course suitable for all skill levels, or is it particularly challenging for beginners/pros?

Pittsburgh North is surprisingly accommodating for a range of players, which we appreciate. The front nine offers wider fairways that are forgiving for higher handicappers, but don't let that fool you- the back nine tightens up considerably with some tricky doglegs and elevation changes that will test even seasoned golfers. You'll definitely want to choose your tees wisely here.

What are some of the unique challenges or signature holes I should look out for at Pittsburgh North?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 14th hole- it's a stunner. It plays downhill to a green guarded by a creek in front and bunkers on either side, demanding a precise iron shot. Also, watch out for the par-5 7th; its undulating fairway and strategically placed bunkers make it a true three-shot hole for most.

How does the cost of playing Pittsburgh North compare to other courses in the region, and what's the overall value?

We find Pittsburgh North offers excellent value, especially considering the course quality and upkeep. While it's not the cheapest round in the area, you're getting a well-maintained track with thoughtful design for a fair price, particularly if you can snag a twilight rate. It consistently punches above its weight in terms of experience versus cost.

What amenities does Pittsburgh North offer beyond the course, and are there any local tips for visitors?

Beyond the course, you'll find a solid pro shop with all the essentials and a friendly grill room that's perfect for a post-round burger and a local brew. Our tip: after your round, take a short drive to the nearby town of Cranberry for some fantastic local dining options- it's a great way to cap off your day.
