Huntsville Golf Club offers a pure, golf-first experience anchored by Rees Jones’s strategic championship design. With spacious fairways, challenging par 4s and par 5s, and a secluded woodland setting, it’s revered as one of the best private courses in Pennsylvania.
Take in the view from the clubhouse terrace after your round—the modern clubhouse is a Peter Bohlin original and frames the 18th beautifully.
Huntsville Golf Club delivers the trademark Rees Jones style: a demanding but fair championship parkland course routed through rolling Pennsylvania countryside with generous corridors and carefully sculpted holes. The layout rewards thoughtful positioning, with fairways that offer strategic shot values and big greens shaped to challenge approaches from multiple angles. The absence of residential development preserves both sightlines and atmosphere, while the clubhouse’s contemporary architecture underscores the club’s upscale, golf-first identity.
Rees Jones designed Huntsville as a pure, championship-caliber test, prioritizing strategic play and unspoiled terrain.
A classic Rees Jones par 5 opener, Hole 1 allows players to ease into the round—but only if they show discipline off the tee and with their layup. The shape of the hole encourages smart, controlled play over heroics.
Favor the right side of the fairway off the tee to set up the best layup angle. A well-placed second shot leaves a comfortable wedge into the green.
Careless tee shots or aggressive layups can find trouble, with bunkers and narrowing fairway features ready to catch mistakes.
Consistently excellent, private-club level fairways and greens.
Properly spaced tee times; expect a focused, steady round.
Refined, golf-first, and secluded with a contemporary private club feel.
Private-club standards; collared shirts and golf attire.
Several par 3s and approaches play long; you'll need full confidence in your hybrids and long irons.
If possible, spend extra time on the practice green to get a feel for subtle breaks and pace.
With rolling elevation, early rounds can feel cool even in summer—bring a pullover for the front nine.
