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.

Played on a monday 4 ish overcast all day twosome 3 hour round course was very wet but playable Greens unbelievably smooth and true also had to work ball both ways at times I will be back often
Great course
Had a good time. Great shape played 2 rounds. Great value. Take some snacks with you.
This course is in excellent condition
Other than bunkers needing a little work the conditions were excellent. I would recommend this course to anyone. The greens roll very true.
Pretty decent
Course layout is very nice. A lot of very nice holes. The grass is okay. There were clumps of dead grass laying in the rough. The facility is pretty run down but pricing is more than fair. Over all pretty nice course.
Pretty nice
Pretty nice for the money . Course was well managed would gon
why so empty
OK, so this isn't Augusta National but there were only 2 other players on the course on a beautiful holiday. Greens were hard to hold but other than that the course was in good shape. Design isn't too difficult but there are a few challenging holes. Staff was great. I'll be back.
Nice round of golf
For the price, can't beat the course. Front half was a bit sloppy, but considering it has rained that last week it was to be expected. Will go back again !
Nice country course
Nice course, greens are I fantastic shape right now. Course was pretty empty because of the forecast so we played at our own pace. Friendly staff.
Still a good value
Not a bad track for the money. Play it several times per year and always find it in good to very good shape. Was a cloudy day and we had the course to ourselves. Interesting holes on back 9....
Good value
This course was a pleasant surprise. There are many what I call "country" or "mom and pop" courses in Western Pa. Most of them are average/ below average for the price. This course was one of the better ones that I have played in the area for a $20 price tag. Greens were good and fairly consistent. Fairways in good shape. Good layout and some challenging long par 4s. There are some spots of wear/tear but that's usually what you get at a country course. I would play again.
Not Terrible
Not terrible. If your close, worth 20 bucks. But I would NEVER pay more than 25 per round for this place, spring or summer!
great value
Upon pullung into the parking lot and walking into the pro shop I was prepared for the worst. The course, however, was in terrific shape. It plays longer than the yardage on the scorecard and was a very enjoyable challenge. Few players on the course allowed our group to play in right around 3 1/2 hours. Highly recommend this course for the $20 price
course was great
Very fast greens made for challenging putts. fairways were great only they could of used cut a setting lower. Was a challenge at times to find your ball.
All in all a great course and great deal
Really enjoy playing this course. Will be back
Course was in great shape, fairways were maintained, greens were excellent (enjoy playing on nicely rolled greens). Cart path bumpy but that can be overlooked when you see the conditions of the course.
course has many different challenges
course was in excellent condition and the staff was very helpful at getting our round in a most favorable manor. pace of play was excellent and well worth the money
a very nice course with some great holes
I enjoy the course very much. some very nice holes on the course. greens were cut well and had a true roll. looking at the place you would think is not to nice. very old on the dirty side carts and the one run out of gas coming up 18. good thing there was 4 of us to get a push. the place could use a paint job. have played again since the first time and is an hour and 15 minute ride.
a little bit of everything
nice, fast greens, some bunkers, some water hazards, some hills, some long holes and some short par 3's. Overall a nice afternoon on a well maintained and uncrowded course.
I'll be back!
Fun excursion
Have not played this course in 2 years and enjoyed playing it again. Greens were consistent and true. Course was not crowded so our twosome set our own pace which made for a quick round
