Elmhurst Country Club

The rolling farmland of northeastern Pennsylvania creates natural amphitheaters for golf, and this public track maximizes every undulation with greens that cascade down hillsides and fairways that follow the land's original contours. The par-4 7th hole epitomizes the layout's charm, requiring a blind tee shot over a ridge before revealing a green nestled against a wooded backdrop that frames your approach beautifully. At 72 par across genuine terrain, it's the kind of honest golf that reminds you why the game works best when architects respect what nature provides.
