LATROBE COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling hills of Westmoreland County create natural amphitheaters for golf that few regions can match, and this Donald Ross layout from 1921 maximizes every contour with greens that demand both precision and imagination. Ross's signature crown-shaped putting surfaces reward the player who understands angles, while the strategic bunkering forces you to think your way around rather than simply bomb and gouge. Arnold Palmer learned the game here, and you'll quickly understand why his aggressive style was tempered by the course architect's demand for tactical discipline.
