9–9-2025 Wait, $85 to play here on the weekend?? Since when? Lol. Guess I’ll have to go see if it’s now worth $85… Update as of 9-20-25(photos as well) And it’s not. $85 on the weekend here is robbery. Always very scenic here and a fantastic layout. Unfortunately, the conditions have gone way down hill since the very first time I played here back in 2017. We were able to find a rate of $45 on a Friday at 2:30 and that’s perfect. I would never pay more than $65 here now knowing I can play here for less than $50 during the week. This course has so much potential to be one of the top public courses in PA…

We picked Birdsfoot for our 8/28 John Bottegal Memorial Golf Outing. Managing Partner Travis Lindsay gave us a great value and Birdsfoot’s Alicia Stone handled all the details - ensuring our 144 player event went very smoothly. The course is always in great shape. Highly recommended.

$85 for this course is way overpriced. Tee boxes are in terrible shape. Sand traps should honestly be called “gravel traps”—there are so many rocks that one swing could easily ruin a wedge. Greens are completely unfair. I’ve never played a course where the greens and pin placements felt this punishing. Even if you hit every green in regulation, you’re likely to three-putt on at least half the holes because the ball either rolls off the green or ends up 10+ feet from the hole. The pin locations are downright criminal. You can easily pay $50 at another course for similar—or even better—conditions. At $85, I expect close to country-club level quality, and Birdsfoot is nowhere near that. That said, the layout and scenery are excellent. Every hole is well-designed with scenic views throughout the course. Bottom line: I’d play here again for $50, but $85 is a hard pass.

Birdsfoot golf course reminded me of several courses in the Sandhills area of North Carolina such as Mid Pines and Southern Pines. There is a good bit of elevation change here and most of the shorter Par 4’s are uphill, while the longer holes play more downhill. There was no significant rough even after a lot of rain and the course is fairly open, so unless you really spray your tee shot you should always have a shot at the green on your next shot. The condition of the course was mixed which was not a surprise on a chilly April morning. Keep in mind since the course is mostly open you do get a lot of wind especially at higher points on the course. The tee boxes were in good shape except for the par 3, 9th hole that is one of the few tee boxes tucked in trees and bushes. The greens were in good but not great shape. The best part of the course is the actual layout. The pro shop attendant was very courteous. I only saw 1 worker on the course in early morning, and they were picking balls on the range.

One of my favorite public courses in the Pittsburgh area. Great layout and nice staff. Main complaint is the bunkers. A large percentage of them are in terrible shape. Course seems to be pretty successful so either fix the bunkers or get rid of some so you don’t have as many to care for.
