With the US Open rolling into Oakmont Country Club for the tenth time in the championship\u2019s storied history in June, there has never been a better time <\/strong>to plan a golf trip to Pittsburgh, the shining jewel of Western Pennsylvania, where America\u2019s industrial past rubs shoulders with its glittering future, and where the choice of superb golf courses is only matched by the City of Champions\u2019 wonderful hospitality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

As anyone who has ever been lucky enough to go the Masters Tournament will tell you, watching the greatest exponents of the professional in action on one of the world\u2019s most iconic golf courses is one life\u2019s great bucket list ticks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

As well as providing an opportunity to marvel at the beauty of the course and admiring the skills on show, a visit to the Masters, in fact any major championship, also serves to whet your appetite to get back out on the golf course to find out if a tiny bit of that magical stardust that the top players possess has rubbed off on you.<\/p>\n

Of course, it rarely does, and no matter how inspired you may feel by the dazzling skills you have witnessed up close and personal, translating those miracle flop shots and booming 350-yard drives takes more than a little practice and talent. Still, it won\u2019t stop me trying, and nor should it you.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

This, in a roundabout way, goes some way to explaining the growing popularity for golf holidays that combine a visit to a tournament, with time left over to play a bit of your own golf in the local area and take in the sights, sounds and smells.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

While tour pros generally jet in and out of championship venues without seeing anything more than the inside of their hotel suite and the view from the backseat of a luxury people carrier en route to the golf course, less time- pressured independent travellers at least get the opportunity to take some time to explore their surroundings, tee it up at some local courses and enjoy whatever the local hospitality has to offer.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

While the Masters, of course, is rooted in Augusta, Georgia and will be for as long as the sun shines on God\u2019s green earth, the US Open and the US PGA Championship hop around America at dozens of different courses and states, from Pebble Beach in northern California to Kiawah Island on the east coast of Florida and many points in between.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

While this year\u2019s PGA Championship was staged at Quail Hollow in North Carolina for only the second time in its history, the 125th US Open is returning to the venerable Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania from June 9-15 for what will be the Pittsburgh-based venue\u2019s tenth staging of the championship.<\/p>\n

Located just 15 miles from the centre of Pittsburgh, one of the reason that the US Open has been staged at Oakmont more than any other course is not hard to see at soon as you step foot on the property.<\/p>\n

In fact, hard is the operative word here. Oakmont is hard with a capital H. And those pain-inflicting souls that run the US Open like their courses to be hard.<\/p>\n

\"\"

To get a basic understanding of how difficult the challenge Oakmont presents you only need to look at the scores from the last two stagings of the championship held there. In 2007, Argentina\u2019s Angel Cabrera lifted the trophy with a winning score of +5, while Dustin Johnson was one of just four players in the 156-strong field to break par when he won in 2016.<\/p>\n

And while it\u2019s probably not a lot of fun to play \u2013 unless you like pain \u2013 it\u2019s extremely entertaining to watch the world\u2019s best golfers having to play their very best to make par and even be happy with bogey, just like we \u2018normal\u2019 golfers do week in week out.<\/p>\n

Seeing first-hand how Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy extricate themselves from cavernous bunkers, escape from ankle-deep rough and navigate lightening quick greens is a lesson in itself, and well worth the price of a day ticket.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

And while bagging a ticket to the US Open is no easy feat, getting a tee time at Oakmont is even harder, as you can only play it as a member\u2019s guest.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there are plenty of other more welcoming and golfer-friendly courses in the Pittsburgh area on which to test your skills \u2013 whatever your handicap or experience levels.<\/p>\n

THE PICK OF PITTSBURGH GOLF<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

While Pittsburgh\u2019s proud sporting identity is forged around its beloved sports teams \u2013 Steelers (American Football), Pirates (Baseball), and Penguins (Ice Hockey) \u2013 this underrated, highly livable city may not, at first glance, seem like a hotbed of golf, but it holds an exalted place in golf history and has more than its fair share of excellent tracks.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

In the public sphere, the best golf courses in Pittsburgh take full advantage of the rolling and hilly wooded terrain that dominates the Western Pennsylvania landscape, although you have to drive a little way beyond the city limits to get to them.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Olde Stonewall Golf Club<\/a>, located 30 minutes northwest of Pittsburgh, was rated among the best new courses in the US when it first opened in 1999 and has regularly featured among the country\u2019s top 50 public courses ever since.<\/p>\n

With 15-minute tee intervals, golfers will have time to savour this superb track, whose front nine is laid out on rolling terrain sandwiched between a ridge and a creek, while the back nine sees raised tees hang on severe slopes held in place by giant blocks of limestone.<\/p>\n

After your round, make sure you find time relax in the unforgettable and spectacular clubhouse which is designed in the style of a mediaeval castle.<\/p>\n

Closer to the city, and in fact located right in the heart of it, is the Bob O\u2019Connor Golf Course<\/a> at Schenley Park. With golf having been played here since 1897, \u2018The Bob\u2019, which is named after a former city mayor, is one of the oldest municipal courses in the US.<\/p>\n

The 9-hole course, which measures just 2,400 yards, and features seven par-4s and two par-3s, is popular with beginners, families and children learning to play the game thought the First Tee programme, but for the visiting golfer it\u2019s a delightful way to spend a couple of hours for the price of a couple of beers, with the green fee set at just $16.<\/p>\n

\"\"

A 25-minute drive south of the city will take you to the delightful 27-hole course at Lindenwood Golf Club<\/a> in Canonsburg, where the three distinctly different loops of nine providing unique challenges, with Gold being the most forgiving, Red the longest, and the Blue being the most challenging. Finding the right combination is no easy choice \u2013 the Gold features fewer water hazards \u2013 so the best advice would be to play all three.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

For golf on a grander scale, Speidel Golf Club at Oglebay Resort<\/a>, which is nestled in the rolling hills of Wheeling, 60 miles west of Pittsburgh, is home to four golf courses, but the two championship-level layouts designed by Arnold Palmer and Robert Trent Jones Snr.<\/p>\n

The former is a par-71 layout with six short holes and five par-5s and can play as long as 6,800 yards and as short as 4,200, so it\u2019s designed to accommodate all levels of players, while the Jones course is a far more muscular design, stretching to 7,000 yards off the tips and covering some hilly terrain it\u2019ll challenge all aspects of your game.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

If time and stamina allows, Cranberry Highlands<\/a>, a 25-mile drive due north of the city, is a public course with the private club vibe that boasts a superb 6,500-yard, links-style course with plenty of changes in elevation to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n

While the publicly-owned courses at North Park and South Park, both of which are run by Allegheny County, are just a short run north and south of the city, offer stunning views and are both part of much wider public outdoor leisure facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
