Frequently Asked Questions

Is Philipsburg Elks Lodge and Country Club open to non-members, or do I need to be an Elks member to play?

What's the playing experience like at Philipsburg Elks? Is it a challenging course for all skill levels?

Don't let the 'Lodge' in the name fool you; this course offers a surprisingly engaging round with some tricky elevation changes. You'll find a good mix of tight, tree-lined fairways and more open holes, demanding thoughtful club selection rather than just brute force.

When is the best time of year to play Philipsburg Elks Lodge and Country Club for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall when the Pennsylvania weather is at its best - think comfortable temperatures and vibrant foliage. Summer can be great too, but be prepared for potential humidity, and always hydrate.

What can I expect regarding green fees and overall value at Philipsburg Elks?

You'll find Philipsburg Elks offers excellent value, especially compared to some of the flashier resort courses in the region. The green fees are very reasonable, making it a fantastic option for a quality round without breaking the bank.

Are there any signature holes or unique features at Philipsburg Elks Lodge and Country Club that I should look out for?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it's a real beauty with a dramatic downhill shot that can play havoc with your club choice. The course also boasts some fantastic views of the surrounding central Pennsylvania landscape, particularly from the higher elevations.
