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.

Good variety of hole layouts
Good variety of hole layouts which make the course more challenging.
Apollo Elks terrific greens
This Elks facility has seen better days, but the staff does a terrific job with the course. The layout is good, with virtually no parallel fairways. Most impressive are the greens, which are in perfect shape and consistent.
It shares a stigma with it's nearby course Links at Spring Church; both are believed to be too far to drive from the general area, but this location is easily accessible, with little traffic and good roads.
Great Value
The actual course itself is very nice, not very long but still a nice layout with great conditions. Greens weren't exactly fast but they were smooth and well maintained. The main building is old and run down, there's an abandoned pool with weeds growing all around, and the pro shop was small and kind of dirty. If you ignore all that, for the price they are charging (especially in the fall) I would very much recommend this course! Went on a Monday afternoon and paid $20 for 18 with a cart and had the course to myself and played in 2 hours.
It has a nice layout
The course has a nice layout. Good variety. Some holes fairly easy and some much more difficult.
What a course!!!!!!!
I played this course about 30 years ago. It was just okay. Played it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was totally impressed. From tee box to green the course conditions were perfect. I will definitely be back again.
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.
