Favorites in Pittsburgh?

[AnthonyGolfs20]

Moving to Pittsburgh in the fall, only played two courses there, blackhawk and Sewickley heights. Can anyone recommend some good, fun and reasonably priced golf courses?

Birdsfoot is very nice, I played there 2 years ago. Also, The Links at Spring Church.

Where are you in Pittsburgh? I live in the South Hills Area and have golfed all around Pittsburgh

Birdsfoot is east and a nice course. In the South Hills, there is Lindenwood which runs you about $50 a round (also about 50m away from Shadyside). Quicksilver is one of the nicer public courses in the area but is a bit more costly and is quite long. If your looking for cheap thrills, there is Rolling Green in 84, PA it is about $35 and a fairly easy course. IMHO living in Shadyside presents you with a problem in that most of the courses that are close to the city are a bit more costly or involve playing 4+ hour rounds.

If your willing to drive over an hour, there is the Links at Firestone farms in Ohio. If anyone else knows some $50 and under courses in and around SW PA, I'd be interested to hear as well

Email: info@gcuusa.com they own Seven Oaks Country club. If you put I think $300 into a bond you can play 3 times per year for free ( pay cart fees of $21 ) you can also bring guest and pay their way, and dine in the dining room and be sent a bill. After you play your 3 times you can continue to go out and you would be billed greens fees and carts. Like your own country club that you pay as you go...great if you ever have to entertain clients. A challenging course that offers less than 4 hour rounds.
