As a weekend golfer with limited experience, I can't comment on the facilities at Allegheny County's North Park Golf Club compared to what seasoned golfers might expect. But despite my busy schedule with kids, home projects, work, and side hustles like writing for this website, I still manage to squeeze in some golf there. Working from home gives me the flexibility to enjoy this activity, although I hope my boss at my full-time job doesn't find out!

Now, let's talk about North Park Golf Course. It's not just any ordinary course—it's a hidden gem nestled in the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh. Conveniently located and offering great value for the money, it's a golfer's paradise. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, this course has something for everyone.

Picture this: Wide-open fairways that give you plenty of room to unleash your swing, with minimal water hazards to dampen your spirits. It's a golfer's dream come true! And the best part? You'll meet a diverse group of golfers out here, ranging from novices to experts. Trust me, showing up as a single and getting matched with new playing partners can be a delightful surprise. I've met some incredible people who have made my golfing experience even more enjoyable.

As for the course itself, it's meticulously maintained, like a well-oiled machine. Despite its age, dating back to the 1930s, it still shines brightly. The pace of play used to be a concern, but fear not, they now offer tee times to ensure a smoother experience. No more agonizing waits before teeing off!

Now, let's talk about the front nine. While there might be a few bottlenecks, particularly on Par 3 No. 2, it gives you ample time to catch up on your messages - we'll leave it at that. But once you hit the back nine, the pace picks up, and you'll find yourself in the zone.

Thirsty? Don't worry, you can quench your thirst with an ice-cold beer available at North Park. Unfortunately, they don't allow you to bring your own, but hey, the snack shop has got you covered. Fuel up with a delicious hot dog at the turn, replenish your cart with a well-stocked beer cooler, and indulge in other drinks and snacks to keep you going.

To sum it up, North Park Golf Course is a hidden oasis for golf enthusiasts like us. It's a place where you can work on your game, make new friends, and enjoy the game you love. With its decent conditions, convenient location, and affordable prices, it's a hole-in-one choice for beginners and casual golfers alike. If you're looking for a spot to tee off near Pittsburgh, give North Park Golf Course a shot—I promise it's worth it!
