St. Jude Golf Club
A historic round among Chicora's beautiful hillsides awaits you with today's feature: $17 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at St. Jude Golf Club in Chicora near Pittsburgh ($80 Value. Expires December 31, 2014.)
With a history and longevity far surpassing other courses in the area, St. Jude Golf Club offers up one of Pennsylvania’s most historic and enjoyable rounds of golf. Featuring an incredible and rewarding design set upon the second highest point in Butler County, the playing experience at St. Jude is unrivaled, unparalleled and one you’ll never forget.
Designed by Emil Loeffler, a legend of golf's Golden Age — to which his six US Open appearances and nearly 30 years as Oakmont's superintendent certainly attest — and opened in 1927, the layout at St. Jude Golf Club offers up 18 unique holes. Stunning 50-mile views of the Alleghenies dominate the horizon while each hole presents perfectly manicured fairways leading to smooth, true-rolling greens that consistently rated as some of the best in the Commonwealth.
Playing over 6,600 yards from the championship tees, several forced-carries and plenty of white-sand bunkers throughout the course add additional challenge to this pristine layout, encouraging golfers to play smart and manage the course well to finish with a low score.
A change in ownership in 2007 has brought along a concerted effort to restore this timeless course back to its original glory. From the classic clubhouse (which has doubled in size via renovations) to the famous Capri Restaurant, every detail at St. Jude has been meticulously crafted to add to the already glowing reputation of this private club-caliber facility.
The fine pro shop and full practice area round out the amenities at St. Jude, offering the best in equipment and instruction to help bring your game to the next level.
With a USGA rating of 73.3 and a slope of 138, the tree-lined fairways of St. Jude are the perfect place to play your next round, so do whatever it takes to take on this historic course for yourself!
