Allegheny Country Club Top 100 Review

Allegheny Country Club is an 18-hole golf course located in Sewickley Heights, Pennsylvania, originally designed by Tom Bendelow in 1902. The course has been significantly shaped by legendary designer Donald Ross, who first consulted on the design in 1909, completed major developments in 1933, and undertook a full redesign in 1935. Ross's final restoration work in 1945 established the layout still played by members today.

The course has hosted prestigious USGA championships, including the 1954 Women's Amateur Championship (won by Barbara Romack in the longest final in USGA history at 29 hours 15 minutes) and the Mid-Amateur and Senior Women's Amateur championships. The club, founded in 1895 and relocated to Sewickley Heights in 1902, features extensive facilities including clubhouse amenities, practice areas, and a golf learning center. Recent renovations by Gil Hanse have maintained historical integrity while modernizing infrastructure. The course remains a significant part of Pittsburgh's sporting heritage, situated on a spacious campus that historically accommodated multiple recreational facilities.
