I think a lot of us in western PA are looking at football and hockey as the two main sports right now, not golf. It's cold. :)

Hello, I might be moving to the northern Pittsburgh area from western Canada so I have no clue what the golf in PA is like.

When I move there I might be looking for a season pass or non equity membership somewhere. I play to about a 2 hdcp and have a pet peeve playing courses that are not well manicured. I'd rather play a well maintained 6000yd track over a "championship" layout in poor condition.

If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. Including listing places that I shouldnt waste my time with. Thanks!

In my bag:
Titleist 983E 8.5* w/ Fujikura Speeder | Titleist 980F 19* w/ Fujikura Speeder | Mizuno MP-68 3-PW DGX100 | Titleist Vokey 52.08 | Titleist Vokey 56.14 | Titleist Vokey 60.06 | Odyssey 2-ball White Hot Putter | Titleist Pro V1X

Where are you coming to?- I'm in Cranberry Township- North of Pittsburgh and have played a few public courses- some better maintained than others- once you get here- I'd be happy to discuss the lay of the land so to speak-

yeah prolly best for me to wait until next spring. i know it's supposed to be warm this weekend but i'm gonna be kinda busy. i'll be around though, not going anywhere. i'm approximately 45 minutes north of cranberry. yeah i could start a thread with a brief overview of courses i played this year for us in the area. then if anyone wants to add to it that would be fine by me.

was that a real dog?

Thanks! the cranberry township is one of the places the company suggested we should live...but I would love to hear about some courses in the area. Im also wondering if anyone has experience playing at a club where a seasonal or non equity membership is available. I hope to play a lot of golf.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.

      Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.
