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.

disappointing trend
This course used to be a premier public option in the area. Today is just another non-maintained track. I was very disappointed. No general maintenance. Tee boxes not moved following a busy summer Saturday, as we played Sunday. Garbage bins overflowing with empty beer cans. And, a Sunday afternoon in June with 0% chance of rain, and temps in the 80's, and the snack bar at the turn is closed. This course needs a new GM and a new grounds keeper. Or, better yet, a new owner, as there is so much potential. Plus, we played behind "members", who did not rack traps, nor fixed ball marks on green.
Great track
Course coming back to its previous good condition. One of my favorite layouts in Western PA. All new sand in bunkers , greens in good shape and speed was good. Only minor complaint was fairways needed cut. Can't wait to play it again
Yes Yes Yes
What a joy it is to play 18 on a nice track (pro tee's) with a breeze at you back and the sun on your face. Will definitely play again and again and again! Why did the chicken cross the road, to get to Pittsburgh National GC.
Positive overall experience
Pgh Nat'l is a good layout and the course was in good condition. . . for now. Considering it was early in the PA golf season, it was all positive. . . the question is will it stay that way once play increases and warmer, dry weather kicks in. But based on Golf Now rate, this was a good value.
Great Value
Minus a couple of severely sloped holes, the layout is fantastic. Large, challenging greens and hole variety were highlights. The course, via winter's work and perhaps a slight lack of upkeep is not all it could be, but again a great layout. For the money absolutely terrific- a new go to for me.
Not Again
Why do you post 90 degree rules and dont enforce them? Called the clubhouse about a foresome that decided that doesnt pertain to them. Thats ok Rut up the course.
Why do you post USGA Pace of Play when its not enforced? Started at 12:25 and finished 13 at 4:38 Really?
Greens need to be rolled, tee boxes need grass. Not impressed for a NATIONAL COURSE
Good Value for Great layout
It was early April so the course hadn't recovered from winter, but it was in pretty good shape. Greens are difficult with good pace. One of the best layouts for a public course I've seen and challenging for all levels.
Could be a top course
For 29 dollars on the weekend with a cart the course gives you a good value. Course condtioning needs work, some greens run fine when others have aeration holes? Bunkers need reshape and raked but they are well placed and plentiful. Pace of play was bad, some due to a frost delay and partly because of bad players. We clocked in at 4:45 for the 18 which is at the least 45 min too long. Layout is still the best public course in the North route 8 corridor. Hope this course rebounds in the late Spring early Summer.
Golf in February in Pittsburgh
What more to say "golf in Feb. in Pittsburgh" with my son--
Great weather - the course was in great shape (for Feb. in Pgh.) Good day - Good conditions - Great company.
Dear Brandy721,
Unfortunately we have no record of you playing on the 2/19/2017.
As to the layout and course conditions. PNGC has always been regarded as one of the best layouts in the Greater Pittsburgh area.
Not to confuse course layout with course conditions, we have received very favorable comments to the course conditions regardless of the time of year.
If you do decide to visit the property and play the course, we recommend playing the course in season to appreciate the property to its fullest.
Fairways & Greens,
PNGC
First round of 2017
Very nice condition with friendly people first round of the year what do you expect chilly and rainy but all went good I'd recommend
Very Challenging, But Needs Work
This course used to be in good shape and is very challenging. The clubhouse and bar have been remodeled and are very nice. Now if they can take better care of the course, which may happen in the future, it would be a top tough track in the area. The rates are reasonable, except for the $50 Golf Now rates I see occasionally. The course is worth $30 with the shape it's in and no more, so if you can get a deal less than that, it's probably worth it.
Great deal
Course was in good shape. Greens were good and pace was excellent. Played in just under 4 hours.
Thank you for your review.
We value everyone feedback and it also gives us the chance to respond to any concerns which will help the facility and improve the golfers experience.
Unfortunately, the only foursome we could find before 12:25pm was at 8:50am that day. We had only 33 players prior to 12:25pm with only 3 twosomes between 11-12am. The majority of the rounds played that day were after 2:30pm.
Regarding the 90 degree rule. We take the rule very seriously and have it in place to protect the course after inclement weather.
Any complaints or observations where the 90 degree rule is not adhered to are quickly acted upon.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us,
