Apollo Elks Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Apollo Elks Country Club, situated just northeast of Pittsburgh, is considered one of the area's must-play golf courses. It has appeal for a wide range of skill levels with a layout that is challenging enough for seasoned golfers but also not too difficult for beginners to approach. There is an interesting mix of holes ranging from reachable par 5s to short, tough par 3s and each hole has a distinct character. The greens are fast and the gently rolling terrain provides some subtle breaks that can be tricky. Bunkering is sparsely but strategically placed along the fairways and greensides. There are also a few water hazards that come into play at Apollo Elks Country Club. The round has plenty to hold your attention but don't forget to stop and admire the beautiful western Pennsylvania scenery.

Nice Course
Really enjoyed my first round at Apollo Elks. Course was in great shape. Greens were great and quick. Definitely a real value for the price. Got a great deal but would pay the regular price to golf here.
Nice coarse
Best greens around Cart paths not so great but the coarse is terrific
Great day for golf
Weather was perfect. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Price was better than anticipated. This is an older country club in a very small community. Course is well maintained and the greens were average and rolled true. All in all it was an enjoyable day with good friends.
well worth the money
Played on a hot deal for $17, so it was good for that. Greens have lots of slope and many holes are dog legs. Kind of short. Greens are small but enjoyed the course.
A Great Value
This course is old school! Small old fashioned bunkers and tree lined but plenty of room to roam. The blind shots can be overcome but probably need to play this course a few times. Cart paths bad but who cares! Conditions are Very Good! Go Play it!
Not a country club
A down home backwoods course. Fun layout, tiny greeens but rolled true. All the grass was long, but it's early in the year and has been rainy and they probably just dont want to rut it out by cutting it.
Very well maintained course
The course was very well maintained. My only suggestion is for more yard markers.
Hidden Gem
Can't say enough about how impressive this layout was for all 18. Several holes are seemingly carved from the surrounding woods. Not all the cart paths are fully paved so they can be muddy if rainy weather. Was absolutely worth the trip.
Great condition
Course is in excellent condition, got 18 in 3hrs. Highly recommended.
Nice greens
Good course hard to beat for the price.
Great value
Apollo Elks was in good shape and the greens were excellent. A very nice course and a great value.
Beautiful course
This is a hidden treasure imo, the ppl are nice, everything is well kept. Even on bad days the course is still more than up to par...pun intended! I've played here 4 time this year and scheduled for the 5th. If I lived closer I would become a member here, just live everything about this course. Challenging yet doable, greens are true and the easy looking holes will get you.
Blind Shots
The course was extremely wet due to recent rains. Other than that, there were a lot of blind shots due to the hilly terrain. As such, it was a challenge since we never played it before.
course is in very good shape
greens are very receptive for your 2nd or third shoot to the greens from fairway. I would say play this course and you will enjoy
Very Nice Course
The course was in very good condition. The fairways were very green - despite the lack of water lately. The greens were in excellent shape. It was a course I would like to play again.
