Quicksilver Golf Club

I play have played this course a couple times annually for the last 20 years. The track is more open than tight with most of the challenge derived from a plethora of fairway and/or green-side bunkers and very fast-sloped putting surfaces. The condition of the course is almost always top notch. The downsides are that QS is usually a 4.5 - 5 hour weekend round, and the price is among the costliest public courses in the Pittsburgh metro. Also, the recent removal of the blue tees (reportedly to speed play) pushed my 5-12 handicap group to the white tees and in the process eliminated the need for most long iron play. Note to staff... Please let the paying participant decide which tee box is best suited for their game - the abundance of bunkers and arduous 3-putt greens have more to do with slow play than the length of the course. I will probably continue to return once a year, but in my opinion there are several equal or finer higher-end golf experiences elsewhere within a 50 mile radius that are a better value.

Carts were at a premium... course regulars knew to wait in parking lot and grab a cart to take up to check in.... two groups ahead did this and were after our tee time by 20 - 30 mins... staff was questioned and was "now you know"....

Still the best daily fee course in the area.

Played on a Wednesday after the course received over an inch of rain the previous day. Playing cart path only turns a tough course almost impossible. Lots of standing water on the course making some holes very dicey and the risk of plugging a shot very real. Would have been better walking the course.

Pace of play was horrid. 5 hours to play 18 on a weekday is simply not acceptable under any circumstances.

You get a little bit of everything on this course. Great for a golf outing. Sand on almost every hole. Greens are always nice.

Had a great time at Quicksilver, great condition, love the greens, what an great golf course!

This course has a nice diverse layout. There are plenty of unique holes with different challenges. It is a good test of your game, even from the "white" tees at about 6500 yards. There is nothing unfair about the course and will reward good shots. The course was in really good condition, including perfect bunkers. By far the best part of this course are the lightning fast and true greens.

What a great course. The variety of tee boxes really offer fantastic options for each group. The fairways and bunkers were in perfect shape. But the gold star goes to the fast and true greens. Great job!

Probably the best challenging public golf courses within the Pittsburgh area. 6500 yards white and 7100 black with challenging greens that will test your nerves and putting skills.

Fairways and greens were in top condition. No flaws or bare spots anywhere on the course. The greens were fast and true. The rough was cut at just the right height so you can find your ball and keep pace of play moving along. No houses lining the fairways, just green and scenic beauty all around.

Quicksilver is some what deceptive in toughness. Fairways are wide and generally open to adjoining fairways. However there are a lot of traps, the greens are fast and I found them tough to read, and the pin placements were really tough. You have to earn every yard you shoot as almost all greens are uphill for approach shots. Course was in great condition. Fast play-3.5 hours.

very challenging for all types of golfers. High handicappers may find this layout long.

Quicksilver Golf Club is a great track. Located in the hills of southwest PA. The course was in excellent condition. Greens and tees were perfect. This was the first time my wife and I have played Quicksilver G.C. and the staff was very friendly and helpful. If you are vacationing or live in the Pittsburg area I would highly recommend you take the time to play Quicksilver G.C.

We had a most enjoyable round of golf this morning! Pace of play and the course condition were excellent.

My husband forgot his golf jacket and he called the pro shop to report it. Spoke with Dave and 10 minutes later he found it and marked the schedule for a return visit next week so we can pick it up. Customer service is 5++++++++++!

Thanks for a great experience!

the weather was a little iffy due to rain and we were the only foursome at the course therefore we wanted to hold back on hitting our tee shots. Unfortunately we were pushed. Our consideration was overlooked.

Played Quicksilver on a Friday around 3:30 and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The weather was a bit chillier than I wanted, but the pace of play was great and the course was in great shape. The GolfNow deal we found made Quicksilver a steal at less than $30 for 18 holes and a cart. Really enjoyed the difficulty of the course and the scenery. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Cart path only because of the weather but not their fault. They were flexible because of the forecast & we appreciated that. We timed it between radar looks and didn't get wet. it was soggy but course in good shape. Some blind shots so maybe should add some target flags out there but scoresheet helped for the doglegs. We'll go back. Thanks GolfNow.

Nice Course in Great Condition. The only real draw back was the greens keepers didn't seem to care if you were on the course. The mowers just continued to cut knowing that you were on the tee waiting to hit. Instead of stopping and watching you, they just kept mowing. They also had the blowers out cleaning up the debris and I literally had to drive away from my ball as he was blowing grass clippings in our direction. Didn't seem to bother him at all.

Try to play later in the morning or afternoon to avoid their disruptions
