Hannastown Golf Club ☆ Follow

Hannastown Golf Club was founded by Thomas Jamison, an Oakmont member who lived in Greensburg and wanted a private course. The initial nine holes were built in 1919 by Emil "Dutch" Loeffler, the superintendent at Oakmont Country Club. For 80 years, the club was a 9-hole facility until 1997, when Hannastown added an additional 9 holes. The original 9 was influenced by Loeffler's experience at Oakmont, with fall-away greens, a long par 3 similar to #8 at Oakmont, and a final green tied into the practice putting green.

The course is now 6,668 yards and plays to a par of 70, with five par 3s and three par 5s. The course rating is 72.5, and the slope is 132 from the tips. Due to the clubhouse location, the new and old nines had to be intermingled. The old 9 has old-style greens that are pure Poa annua, while the new 9 has USGA-spec greens with bentgrass and smaller greens that feature interesting slopes and mounds. Hannastown Golf Club is a member of the Tri-County Golf Association, which allows play at any member club for a flat fee twice a month.
