Fort Cherry Golf Club

The rolling hills of southwestern Pennsylvania create natural elevation changes that most architects would kill for, and this layout maximizes every undulation with fairways that bend around ridgelines and greens perched on natural plateaus. The par-4 7th hole epitomizes the course's strength—a downhill drive followed by an uphill approach to a green that seems to float above the surrounding terrain. Despite being a municipal track, the conditioning remains surprisingly solid, and at this price point, you'll struggle to find better value within an hour of Pittsburgh.
