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.

Greens were plugged but are healing well

Course is in really good condition for this time of the year. Greens were recently plugged but are healing very well. Lots of sand in the traps and tee boxes are good. Golf carts are old and cart paths are not very good.

GREAT PLACE TO ENJOY GOLF

I played after a rain storm. The wetness had no effect on the golf. The course played well. As it always does. For the price you can’t find a better place to enjoy your golf game.

Great course for the price

Great course for the price The greens are excellent. A tad slower than what I’m used to it my course. It helps to play the course initially to get the layout. There are some blind shards and knowing beforehand certainly helps with your club selection. But it has become one of my favorite courses to play.
