Overview
Sunnehanna was designed by A.W. Tillinghast in the early 1920s and opened in 1923. The club is located on a beautiful property east of Pittsburgh with gentle rise and fall and elevated views of the surrounding Allegheny Mountains. Ron Forse oversaw a remodel of the course in the early 2000s that included bunker renovations and significant tree removal to open up sightlines across the property. More recently, Bruce Hepner, the 13th architect of record to work on the course, has continued the process of enhancing Tillinghast's original design by rebuilding all bunkers and tees, adjusting fairway lines and selectively removing additional trees. The club is home to the Sunnehanna Amateur, one of the top events since the 1950s that has attracted young players like Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods

“Old Tillinghast course that has hosted one of the major US amateur tournaments annually. It can be sneaky difficult if out of position on those tilted fairways and speedy greens."

“A course that has gotten much better over the years as they've taken trees out. A wonderful layout that's always in great condition. Lots of elevation coming into play on many holes provides great variety to the course. Massive greens that are normally firm & fast. Take an old ball out on #8 and see if you can carry the gully from the tips. A beautiful course in Johnstown, PA."
