Man you mean if we got together for an outing we could get a foursome together!!! :) WooHooo

 

It would be fun to get together if we had enough guys to have an outing

[pitchmaster1224]

I live an hour west of Pittsburgh and like playing Quicksilver, among others. I contacted sheppy a couple times last year but I think he was busy at the time, maybe we can all get together this year. I play mostly in the Youngstown/Cleveland/S.E. Ohio/Wheeling, W.V. and Pittsburgh area so am willing to travel.

I just moved to the pittsburgh area. I haven't had an opportunity to play yet. I would love to though....

Just saw this post, I live in Eighty Four PA. I know of a few other members on here from the area also. Would love to meet and play with everyone from the area.

 

I usually play all over if I get a chance to play.

[nandoal]

I love to play TRACKS!

[mlaing]

[albatrosser]

[color="#0000ff"][i]hadn't seen this thread.. sorry!!

Latrobe here (transplant from Lee's Summit, Missouri). I love to play just about anywhere, but have played the most rounds since moving here at Glengarry, Donegal, and Timber Ridge. All around here in Westmoreland county.

If you guys want to put something together before the season is over, shoot me a note. This next week is supposed to be nice![/i][/color]

[Mr_Wolfe]

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I am local also... especially to the OP. John, I may know you. Are your sons Brad and Jake?

Mr. Wolfe

[Thaddy]

I'm local, Quicksilver is my go-to course, especially since it's 15 minutes from my house.

[vincent19]

greetings. i am in the "quicksilver" area. would consider an outing, skins game, 9 holes, big tournament, masters invite, date with paula creamer, or just a cold beer. mostly interested in better than average courses with lower hdcp'ers if possible. BTW i can do some club work if needed in my little shop.

[Hateto3Putt]

Pittsburgh?

 

Pittsburgh?

 

Did somebody say Pittsburgh?

::I know where that is::

 

[SaeWickSon]

From the area as well, Belle Vernon... Recently tho I have began splitting between Belle Vernon and Indiana Pa. I know Scott@84 pretty well. Played a few rounds with him and he is a phenomenal club builder and runs a topshelf range. I mostly prefer to play during the week, not a fan of public course weekends.

[RJ1670]

I'm in Moon Twp. Just minutes from Quicksilver.

[RJ1670]

Anyone play Pittsburgh National? I haven't played there before and was wondering if it was any good.

[sandwedge59]

Prior to being sold Pittsburgh National was called Deer Run and i thought it was a good track , you were able to walk it then but it is kind of hilly so a little difficult , it was always in good shape and was challenging from the back tees , or from any of the tees actually , i have not been there since the course changed owners but i would venture a guess it is still a good place to play

[pcizzy]

Hey all, I'm in Squirrel Hill. Always looking for some new courses to play.

My usuals are Birdsfoot and Meadow wink but I try to play as many different courses as possible.

I like Grandview myself but anyone I ever bring there hates it. I suspect because it's too hard for them and they can't get past that to see how nice of a condition the course is generally in.

Totteridge is my new fave by FAR. The best practice facilities I have ever seen. It just went public in 2009. Was private before that. Nicest course (public at least) in western PA I have ever played.

Secoond to totteridge is probably Toms Run and chestnut ridge. Try to get out there once a year and play 36 (a round on each course)

I play Pgh National once or twice a year too.

Any good courses I haven't listed that I should be playing? I want to get in Cranberry Highlands and The links at firestone (Ohio) this year. Never played them yet.

[RJ1670]

I think Cranberry Highlands is over priced. It's decent and in pretty good shape but, I don't think I would pay full price again.

[Creepin]

I'll let you know about the links at firestone farms end of the week will be playing there... Reserve run in ohio about an hour is not to bad... Not in the class of some of the ones you listed but it is decent value on weekdays.... the links at spring church was an interesting track when I played it. I liked it but again still not in the class of the ones you listed... I also enjoyed lindenwood golf club south of Pittsburgh. It was in great shape when I played it last year in the early summer but could not comment on conditions this year. It is 27 holes and the 9 we didn't play looked the nicest, but I forget which one it was I think it was blue, but not positive... Lindenwood would probably be my favorite out of these

What is Grandview like? I know it is North Braddock which I believe is not the best of areas, but could be wrong...Saw the Pics and it looks in great shape and nice layout. Are they deceiving or is it actually pretty nice?

I'm supposed to play Firestone Farms this Saturday. It's a fine track, most, but not all of the holes are links style. We played Lindenwood earlier this year. They tend to keep that course in pretty good shape.

Grandview is an interesting course. Make sure you play it with someone who's played it before. Lots of hills and blind shots. Don't let the zip code fool you, (north Braddock IS NOT Braddock) It sits way up on the hillside and does offer some grand views! (get it?) It's more of a target course than a grip it and rip it facility. It's usually in really nice shape. The greens can be very quick. If you know how to play position golf, you can shoot a decent number there, however, it's the kind of course where you can lose a ball a hole. Mot people hate Grandview until about the third time they play it.

[Creepin]

How was Lindenwood this year? Have you played all three courses? If so what do you think is the best?


I didn't know this but there is 4 courses there... An executive course Not open to the public I guess
