Steel Yourself
Pittsburgh’s quiet classic
When you hear “Pittsburgh,” your golfing brain probably says “Oakmont.” But just across the Allegheny River sits a quietly kept Seth Raynor design that offers a layout on par with anything in the state of Pennsylvania. This May, you’re invited to Fox Chapel Golf Club, where a recent renovation by Fazio Golf has this classic playing just as it did on opening day in 1923. Wide fairways, brawny bunkers and a set of spectacular template holes challenge without demoralizing—unless you’re Bobby Jones, who, according to legend, once rolled a putt off the fourth green and out of bounds onto Fox Chapel Road. Join us for a full day taking on the Redan, Eden, and Biarritz in the Steel City.
