About
Formerly known as Deer Run, Pittsburgh National Golf Club has undergone major renovations since management has changed hands over the years, including complete reconditioning of the greens and the addition of 60 new renovated bunkers. The championship golf course that exists today is more challenging than the original though it has retained the same playability. With no blind shots to be found and wide fairways that are player-friendly, the course is inviting to beginners and also offers a casual but interesting round for more advanced players. During the renovation, the club also added a practice facility that includes a grass driving range with heated hitting stalls for year-round use, it is one of the only public grass ranges in the Greater Pittsburgh area. There is also a putting green and chipping area with sand bunkers.

Great Condition
I really like how they are bringing this course back to its original condition. The greens are in excellent shape and the fairways are well defined. The sodded and seeded tees are almost ready for play. All that is left is to get some new sand in the bunkers and it will be in top shape. I will continue playing here as long as they continue to invest.
Great value. Pace of play can be slow during the season
The course has great potential
This layout is very nice. The course was fine for this time of the year. For some reason, however they have the worst sand trap and tee conditions year after year.
Sand is poor quality and tee are very uneven and not
very level. most have bad slant and too many are crowned.
Shame as it is close to me and could be an excellent layout.
Overbooked
The course is always in good shape and it's fun to play. The issue is slow play. Every time I play this course it is overbooked and play is extremely slow. Still recommended if you don't mind a slow round.
Privacy Beauty and Quality
I've played this course just a few times now, yet I remember when it first opened years ago. Many things have changed but on the course the attention to detail keeps getting better; Soft fluffy sand (once winter ends) fast greens (even now) and new tee boxes completed but not yet open.
Today there is a beautiful club house, locker rooms and restaurant. The practice facilities are good to and the staff makes it all work. A good place to relax and play, become a member or take a client.
Nice Relaxing Round
It was a gray November morning in Pittsburgh. My son and I had the course essentially to ourselves. I enjoy playing here. The restaurant/bar in the clubhouse was closed and I can't blame them for that considering the weather and time of year.
Overall course in great shape except fir a few bunkers that need some attention
The course was in great condition for this time of year
The layout is challenging. The condition for this time of year was great.
Pleasantly Surprised
My son and I played Pittsburgh National after getting a great rate from GolfNow. This was my second time playing it and it was in much better condition than the last time, which was approx 14 months ago. The pace of play was perfect - we played in under 4 hours. In fact, we had no complaints about anything. We had a great afternoon and can't wait to play it again.
matiams
Staff was not friendly and pace of play was awful(5 1/2 hrs) no ranger. Course was in good shape but if you want to charge then get some help ! It is a shame to wait on every hole for the group ahead of you to tee off. I play 3 times a week and don't need an unfriendly staff and the slowest play you can imagine
decent conditions
greens a bit uneven as to speed
tee boxes rough
fairways /rough ok
traps fair to poor
Nice layout
Love the course layout. good test of many different shots.
Not enough carts
We had a 12:07 tee time and they didn't have enough carts so we didn't tee off until 12:45 and then it was a 5+hr round...
Was a really nice layout with challenging holes but not much fun when you have to wait before you can hit every shot.
Spread out the tee times better
Nice course. But
I liked the course and had a great time. But I think it was real close to100 degrees and one of the hottest day of the year and there wasn't nothing to drink on any holes. No water fountain, not big jug of water nothing. There were two Coke machines but when we went to put money in we seen a sign that said out of order. Most courses at least have some kind of drinking water on a few holes. We did get a few waters at the turn but they didn't last long. But other then that the course it self was good.
Beautiful Hilly Course
Pittsburgh National is a rolling, hilly course north of Pittsburgh. There are few flat holes, and it seems (although I didn't really count) that most of the approach shots are uphill. There aren't many blind shots, and it's fun to play. Pace seemed a little slow at times, and there are some spots and a few bunkers that could use a little TLC. But it was a good round in general, and another course I'd like to play again.
