SHADOW LAKES COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling Pennsylvania countryside thirty miles northwest of Pittsburgh delivers a surprisingly muscular test through mature hardwood corridors and strategically placed water hazards that bite on seven holes. Elevation changes of 150 feet create dramatic downhill tee shots and punishing uphill approaches that demand precise club selection, while the par-4 16th forces a nerve-testing carry over the namesake lake to a shallow green. This western Pennsylvania sleeper rewards aggressive play with scoring opportunities but punishes wayward shots with unforgiving lies in thick rough.
