Country club memberships in Pittsburgh

[Spatrick89]

I’m 32 years old looking to join a country club in Pittsburgh as an intermediate member. Looking for some affordable clubs to join. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Depending where you live.  In the eastern suburbs two to consider our Westmoreland Country Club & Hannastown both are first rate courses.  Youghieny in Elizabeth another nice private club in the South Hills you have both South Hills Country Club and St.Clair Country Club never have played them but they are well respected.  Diamond Run is another nice one near the airport.  Hope this helps

I was a member of Diamond Run until I left the area, no F&B minimums and the price was reasonable when I joined, I would join again if I moved back) but as the other poster said it really depends on what side of the city you live on.  Even if you live in the city itself your best bet might be different depending whether you live on the north shore or the south side or Oakland / Shadyside.

 

If you want to drive an hour north Grove City Country Club has super cheap preview option for the first year and you could basically show up and play without worrying about a tee time pretty much any time of the week except Saturday and Sunday before 11am, but that would really only work if you are handy to I79 / I279 N

I'm a member at Shannopin, it's in Ben Avon Heights depending on where you are. It's pretty affordable and we're getting new bunkers this season. Food minimum is only 35/month which is nice

If you're still in the market, Green Oaks in Verona is the budget CC option in the area, and has enjoyed a nice little revival (particularly amongst the 20s-30s something age) since the pandemic.  Won't get much more affordable than that for a private membership in the area.

 

The course is not my favorite track in the area, but it has its quirks and is generally very well maintained.
