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.

Hidden Gem in Western PA

Linden Hall is off the beaten path. The course has been improved over the past 5 years and is one of the best public courses in Western PA. Use goggle maps and make it a destination this summer.

Enjoy playing here.

Greens, traps and fairways were in good shape. Rough had grass clumps all over from mowing but after four days of rain, hey, so does my yard. Oh, and the bugs weren't all that bad after getting away from the woods lined fairways.

Coarse is a challenge when it is windy.

Fairways, greens and rough were in excellent condition, but some of the gold tees were a bit beat up. Wind in my face for virtually all of the front nine holes made playing the course an even bigger challenge. This course is a good value and a pleasure to play even if cart path only when it is wet.

Great Course

The course was in excellent condition and was not overly crowded. We were able to play at our own pace and wer never pushed or help up. The greens and fairways were in unbelievable condition. Definitely will play there again.

My favorite course

Only been playing golf for about a year and played Linden Hall for the first time in early June. I've been to 15 area courses so far including Totterridge, Madison , (only live a couple miles away), and Mystic Rock twice. While some others in the area are nice, my first choice to play is Linden Hall. Sure if I had the money I'd love to play Mystic or Shepherd's every week but since I don't, Linden Hall is about as close as you can get without selling organs. Very reasonably priced, good food, friendly staff from the Pro Shop, bar, starters, groundskeepers and the ladies in the snack shack. Great shape, amazing views, quiet, nice sand in bunkers that don't get washed out or turn into small lakes for 3 days after a rain, no holes I don't like. Only bad thing, and it's been mentioned in other reviews, is the gnats on some holes. Wish they had a driving range though.

Top rated course in the area

This course is one of the nicest golf courses in probably a fifty mile area, the course is in excellent condition, the surrounding are picturesque, the pace of play is usually very good, the fairways are soft & the greens are very lush & green, although tough to read & very challenging in all aspects, they are fair for all play levels, I have played this course about 6 times this year & it beats me every time just when u think u have it u either 3 put or hit a drive ob , a very challenging course, love it

Beautiful day; great golf

As usual, Linden Hall offered a very good golfing experience. The greens were fantastic; the fairways were cut tight; and the first cut was also cut properly to where we were not looking for a ball if it was just a few feet off of the fairway. Beautiful views of gods creation throughout the course!

Great Course

Second time playing this course and it is great for the value. Love the wide teeboxes and the greens were like putting on glass, super smooth. Starter is not very friendly but the lady working the little shack with food was super nice. Would recommend this course to anyone.

Wet

Very wet even on sloped fairways. I know we’ve had a very wet first part of the year but no other course are this wet. May have a poor drainage problem. Other than that course was in good condition. Plays long. Greens were fast even after a short rain.
