Test your game against a classic Pennsylvania course with today’s feature: $12 for 18 Holes with Cart at Timber Ridge Golf Club in Mount Pleasant near Pittsburgh ($30 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until November 15, 2016!)
Located in Mount Pleasant just a short 45-minute drive from the heart of the Steel City, today’s feature course, Timber Ridge Golf Club, is one of the best kept golf secrets in the Commonwealth. Known for providing golfers of all skill and ability levels with a one-of-a-kind round, Timber Ridge, and today’s feature, are two outstanding experiences you can’t afford to miss.
What helps set golf in the Commonwealth apart from anywhere else in the country are the spectacular picturesque green vistas present throughout the countryside – and Timber Ridge is chock-full of them. Playing just over 6,300 yards from the back set of tees, the entire course is rife with elevation changes–from tee to green–thanks to the undulated countryside on which it sits. These natural challenges are further exasperated by large trees bordering many fairways and several areas of water that are in play around several holes. Combine these with small greens that are solely designed to add stress to your flat stick and periodic protective sand bunkers, and the layout quickly turns from a simple challenge to a complex test of every club in your bag.
No round at Timber Ridge is complete without daring to take on the course’s signature hole: the 650-yard par-5 13th – better known as The Monster. Requiring three spectacularly long and accurate shots to even have a chance at making par, the Monster has been known as the make-or-break moment in many of the Ridge’s rounds. Make it through without blowing your score up into double digits, and you may be well on your way to finishing out the back nine with a low score.
After your great round at Timber Ridge, be sure to stop in for a 19-hole celebration at the clubhouse sports bar. Featuring an extensive menu of delicious dishes and your favorite drinks, no round is complete without a toast to this spectacular course.
