Proper course management and accurate tee shots are crucial for every player looking to shoot a low score on this course.

Speaking of low scores, one of the historic highlights of Sylvan Heights' illustrious history was playing host to the 1948 West Penn Amateur featuring an amateur golfer by the name of Arnold Palmer. Though the course may not look the exact same as when The King played it — thanks to a well-timed renovation in 1998 that vastly improved the course — there is no doubt that a golfer from any generation would be thrilled to play a round on one of the country's best municipal tracks.
