Course View

In 1919 on a scenic piece of property in Orwigsburg, PA, the original 9-holes of the golf course were designed by golf course architect Willie Park Jr. In 1921, the course and clubhouse officially opened and became known as the Schuylkill Country Club.

In the mid-1940s, additional property was purchased on each side of the existing 9-holes and the course was redesigned to 18-holes by world-renowned golf course architect, Donald Ross. His challenging and enjoyable layout is known for its fabulously maintained playing conditions in a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. Donald Ross was involved in designing or redesigning around 400 courses from 1900-1948, laying the foundation for America's golf industry.
Schuylkill Country Club is recognized as one of the premier courses in the Mid-Atlantic region. The course is member friendly and home course knowledge proves to play a major role in most tournaments. The greens are designed in traditional Donald Ross style and continue to make the course different every time it is played. Tee-times are recommended but not needed, a luxury that not many private clubs can claim in this day and age. Members can enjoy a peaceful, relaxing round any day of the week, including weekends. A variety of golf events and clinics are available to all skill levels for men, women, and juniors.
