Overview
The widely acclaimed Club opened in 1993. Designed by legendary golf course architect Rees Jones, the course is recognized as one of the country’s best golf courses and ranked as a top course in Pennsylvania by Golf Digest. Located in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains, it has forests, rolling fields, ravines, rocky ledges, streams, and broad vistas across the grassy valleys. The Clubhouse offers an airy single-story building designed by the award-winning architect Peter Bohlin. The modern style of the striking Clubhouse may be in contrast with the property’s agrarian surroundings, but it offers members and guests a unique experience. There are two-member dining areas, a private room used for family and meeting events, and the ever-popular veranda that offers spectacular views of the golf course. April through October, the club operates a patio tent (seating for three hundred) for members and outside group events. The Clubhouse includes a fully stocked Pro Shop and Men’s & Women’s locker rooms. Huntsville Golf Club has roughly five hundred memberships in all categories. The golf season is 8 to 9 months long, with an average of 15,000 rounds of golf played each season. The Club typically closes January through March and reopens April 1. Huntsville Golf Club is committed to the time-honored traditions of the great game of golf.
