Overview
The Country Club of Scranton features 18 holes designed by Walter Travis in 1927. Dr. Michael Hurdzan added the "New Nine" in 1988, giving members and their guests three combinations of 18-hole composites to play. The nines: Pines, Willows and Falls combine to play as the Old, North and South. The Old course is the 18-hole combination evaluated by Golf Digest's panelists, and it sits 11th on our most recent list of the Best Courses in Pennsylvania.

“Always in great shape. Greens are undulating and fast. Need to hit smart approach shots. Old pro was a masters winner with cool memorabilia in the clubhouse. Not that exciting of a layout but the greens really make it exciting."

“Scranton is an old Walter Travis design. The greens are worth the trip on their own, but the course is a pleasant and fun challenge. Highly recommended!"
