Pittsburgh National Golf Club

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.

PGH National October Golf
With the updated back nine, the course provides a formidable challenge with steep undulating fairways & great greens with many breaks. Choose club selection wisely as many holes require more carry than advertised. Nice fairways, greens & overall fall condition - hats off to the staff for great October golf. Nice morning pro shop staff as well...Definitely a good day for golf for us!
Nice track but poorly maintained
Very nice layout but poorly maintained. Sand traps are a total disaster. Cart path falling apart. Open ditches with no repair coming soon.
Overall, a good experience playing this course; the course is a good layout and the greens are above average. The fairways were in good condition . Pace of play was slow and tee boxes in poor condition. the on site restaurant/lounge kitchen was closed at 2pm.
Course under repair
Other than extremity crowded conditions and the course being under repair to holes on the back nine.
The course is in descent shape.
Maybe when they get it back in shape it will be better.
Some greens great, others horrible
Place was really dry and some greens were beat up pretty bad. The course just seemed run down but it is the end of the season so I am not going to be too harsh.
Typical for the area
Courses in the area all raised their prices during covid. Got a tee time after 1.PM ,only times offered on GolfNow. Staff was accommodating, one group slowed everything down. Over a 4-Hour round. Lounge was closed when we finished.
Fall Golf
Fairways and greens in great shape. Rough and areas around traps need cut.
Great day, beautiful views, quick round.
Course has really improved since last year. Fairways, greens were in excellent shape. T boxes need some leveling and aeration. Hard to push the tees into the ground.
Great Layout, poor condition
One of the best layouts in western Pa.
bunkers were terrible
Greens were decent but slow
Fairways were decent but spotty
Cart paths were bad
Kitchen closed
much better than before.
Nice course layout. Better maintenance than before.
Love this course
Tee boxes need attention but everything else is good

I've always liked the layout but the course has deteriorated in most every respect over the last several years. Tees were rough, missing grass, and some unmowed. Some fairways has lots of bare spots. Greens were in fair to poor condition and most traps were rocky and needed sand. The changes to 10 & 11 are good, but work on both is incomplete. Lots of trash on the ground around garage cans & the main bath had a unflushed toilet mess all day. I wouldn't rush back to play this course with so many other better courses in the north suburbs.
