About Linden Hall

Linden Hall touts itself as "one of Pennsylvania's best secrets". This 785-acre estate is home to a historic 74-room lodge and a 6,405-yard golf course that winds up and down the region's rolling hills. The 8,720-square-foot Linden Hall mansion contains 35 rooms, 27 fireplaces, 13 baths, an indoor bowling alley and walk-in clothes dryer. An Aeolian pipe organ, one of three in the world, could be heard throughout the first and third floors when played. Today, the mansion, dating to 1913, is used by the United Steel Workers of America. The Club Pub restaurant overlooking the 18th fairway, a heated outdoor pool and hiking/biking trails are available.

Perfect day, Perfect conditions

We have played Linden Hall for years but the course conditions continue to improve each year. The course was in impeccable condition today and the weather was perfect. Many people complain (justifiably) about the bugs but it appears that they have taken mitigation efforts to stop that problem. There were a few gnats on the first two holes but the rest of the course was fine. Pristine course conditions make this a must play course.

The bugs are still there

It had rained the night before I played so the sand traps weren't worked and raked but beside that the course itself was in nice shape. The bugs are still there, neither worse or better than usual but I still enjoyed my round with the use of bug spray. I played by myself and one group let me play through so I finished 18 holes in a little under 2 & 1/2 hours.

Employee's need to be more pleasant.

You couldn't find more people not happy because of where they were. At least four individuals grunted out commands without the courtesy of a simple gesture of common pleasantry. I first played this course when I was 12 years old with my father. I'm now 67 and love the game and normally love saying hi and being friendly but couldn't find a nice face. I won't play here again because of this and I play everywhere in W PA.

Back 9 is what makes this course...

Layout is okay. Front nine is pretty bland, a few decent holes but once you arrive on the backside of the course where you can overlook the valley from this one par 3, it's a great view. Also the historic mansion is a pretty special sight.

It was wet from a lot of rain overnight so I can't be too critical of the conditions. Price was excellent, we did play during the week so I can't speak for the value on the weekend, but all in all a course worth making the trip and seeing for yourself.

This course is awful

Way to many bugs on every green can't putt because of bugs flying in your face will never play again

This is simply a beautiful course to play.

Very good layout. Some very challenging holes. GPS in the carts would make this place a paradise.

Best value

With the fear of giving away a best-kept secret, Linden Hall is the best Course in the area and has become my favorite for a great return for my money. If you haven’t played it in years, you’re in for a nice

Surprise. Kudos to all!!!

Great golf course

Have not golfed here in years. Everything about our day was perfect. Nice people in the club house and the course was in great shape. Food in restaurant was exceptional with a great gal bar tending. Will definitely be back.

Good Value

Great track. Challenging but not impossible. Lots of maintenance going on during play especially mowing. All but one of the staff moved out of play until we passed. One the the mowers never got out of the way. I waited. He kept mowing so I had to play around him. Can’t fix stupid. But otherwise the course was very good. I would play again.
