Bucknell Golf Course ☆ Follow

Bucknell Golf Club is an 18-hole course featuring 6,253 yards with a par of 70, originally designed by Emil Loeffler and opened in 1930. Located on the west side of Route 15, adjacent to the West Fields complex on Smoketown Road near Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, the course has undergone significant evolution. Golf course architect Edward Ault redesigned portions of the course, adding a large pond and five new holes.

The layout features several doglegs swinging both left and right, with small target greens and fairly demanding driving targets requiring ball shaping for good scoring. Notable features include the difficult par five third hole, described as the longest on the course, and a challenging par five ninth hole with an approach shot over a water feature with fountain. The course has a rating of 70.0 and a slope rating of 132.

Bucknell Golf Club has been ranked as the #4 College Golf Course in the Country and #9 Public Golf Course in Pennsylvania, and has hosted multiple US Open Qualifiers over the past 15 years. The course serves as home to the Bucknell men's and women's golf teams, who utilize it daily and host at least one tournament per season.
