Located in Latrobe less than an hour’s drive from the Steel City, today’s feature course, Latrobe Elks Golf Club, is truly a hidden gem of the Keystone State. Known for its stunning Parkland-style layout, impressive conditions, and one-of-a-kind relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, this 6,400-yard challenge should find a place immediately atop your list of must-play courses for 2018.

Measuring a slope rating of 123 and a USGA Course Rating of 70.4 from the back set of tees, Latrobe Elks sports the perfect combination of playability and challenge to thrill golfers of any and all skill levels. The layout is a scenic masterpiece and takes full advantage of the surrounding beautiful landscape at each and every turn.

Though each hole at Latrobe Elks Golf Club will test your game in one way or another, the par-3 10th hole, which also happens to be the course’s signature challenge, is unquestionably the course’s best. Relatively short by today’s standards, stretching just 168 yards from the back set of tees, success at #10 is all about proper club selection and proper shot execution - both equally paramount to a score of par or better.

Don’t grab enough club? There’s a good chance your ball will join the tens of thousands that have been lost to the water that guards the front of the green. Execute your swing poorly? Menacing traps await on the right, and water on the left - punishing shots that fly off of their target line by even a few feet.

However, for those who chose the right club and make a good swing, #10’s relatively small and rounded green has been known to give up some birdies (or for a lucky few, Aces) and set a positive tone for the rest of the back nine.

The beautiful challenge of the 10th hole is just one of the many reasons that you’ll want to visit Latrobe Elks’ beautiful golf club - but the rest you’ll have to see for yourself. Come play one of the hidden gems of Pennsylvania golf with today’s feature from GroupGolfer!
