Bob O'Connor, aka Schenley Park Golf Course.


I promise you'll never play another course like it anywhere.

True dat.

[Jeff Evagues]

I went to Pitt and played my very first round of golf at Schenley Park at age 17.

As a Pittsburgh native, long removed, I would vote for Fox Chapel.  Wonderful course.  Classy club.  Field Club is across the road, so go for that in 36 hole day.  Longue View also worth the trip.

Schenley Park is memorable. (Alas, I remember the mats too.) Amateur photo tour here:

The clubhouse, which may be the original, may be razed soon, if it hasn't been already.

Schenley has a great history and the Fownes family were among the originators/members.

Definitely check out Sunnehanna if it's possible. It is a terribly fun golf course.

Sunnehanna, PFC, and Fox Chapel are all obvious and good choices. Long Vue is less known but you'd probably enjoy it. But to break up the repetitiveness of the thread I'll suggest that you stop at Bedford Springs, which is about half way between Philly and Pittsburgh. Bring your wife but take two cars. You get to play a fun Ross and Tillinghast while your wife hits the spa, then you both have dinner at the hotel. Next morning you head to Pittsburgh and she goes home.

Alex,


I think the plan is to play Bedford Springs on the way. My wife was born there and I played the course when it was in a shambles in the 70's.
You remember the 70's , right?

The only thing I know about the 70's is that at some point during the decade Johnny Miller shot 63 at Oakmont. It's the only thing they taught us in school.

Mike,


You'll get to see the new club house at Bedford Springs. Enjoy the course and the hotel, both of which are national treasures. The course is my #1 Public in PA among the ones that I've played.
