Update: we are officially booked for our Sunday round (6/22) at Cranberry Highlands golf course:

Course Tour | Cranberry Township - Official Website

---

Visit our gorgeous course and read descriptions about each hole.

11:10am | 11:20am | 11:30am | 11;40am  tee times.

Still working on the Saturday course.

Y'all will enjoy the course. It has a good mix of scenery, tougher holes, mildly jaw-dropping holes, and so on.

OK...I'm calling this a bit early, but with 10 votes (and a couple things that have popped up for me), I'm gonna say that the weekend is 6/21 and 6/22.  Put it in your calendars!  More details to follow.

@saevel25 and @GolfLug you need to cancel whatever you've got going on that weekend...

let me check, I think my volleyball tournament is on 6/21, and we are just driving up and back the same day. I may be masochistic enough to then to play golf on Sunday (6/22). 🤣.

6/21 is 100% out for me.

Next update: our Saturday (6/21) round is booked at Reserve Run (Poland, OH). It’s about 50 minutes from Cranberry Highlands.

Tee times are 12:40, 12:48, 12:56, and 1:04. 

I’ll send some thoughts on hotel locations, etc. later, but we have our golf booked!!!

[iacas]

Sweet.

@DrizZzY, @Greenshirt100, and some others will come too.

[DrizZzY]

Yes, I can attend. Should be a fun one!

Sounds great, thanks for putting it together.

And a trick hole that rejects balls from flying into them 😜

Yeah, dammit. Or maybe you were just bad luck, so I'll avoid playing that hole with you. 😄 

[Hardspoon]

My recommendation for anyone traveling from out of town would be to stay in/near Cranberry.  There is a retail stretch of hotels very close to the course.

It is about 50 minutes from Reserve Run.  I'm not going to be very involved in the hotel selection and such, since I live in the city (about 20 minutes south of Cranberry).

One thing to note - Friday night (6/20) is a Pirates home game and fireworks night.  For those who are into baseball...while you can't necessarily call what the Pirates play these days "baseball", it is consistently rated one of the best stadiums in MLB and the fireworks nights are pretty spectacular.

I recommend this. The stadium is great. You can walk across the bridge to some good food.

Thanks for putting the work in, John. I’ll look into hotels and stuff soon. I’ll probably be driving in Friday.

Count me in for Saturday at Reserve Run. I'll be there.

[DaveP043]

It all sounds good, I'll plan to drive up Friday night too.

I didn't see it mentioned, did you have to pay anything in advance for these arrangements?  If so, please let us know, I'm sure we'll all get our share to you quickly.

[saevel25]

Count me in on Sunday. 

[Carl3]

Like Chet, count me in for Saturday at Reserve Run. I won't be doing Sunday at Cranberry.

Of course, we're going to give preference to those who can do both. But right now we aren't at the limit of 16, so… probably fine.

[rwolfe]

I should be able to drive in for both days...
