Monterey Country Club, Golf course in Blue Ridge Summit, United States
Monterey Country Club is a nine-hole golf course located in Pennsylvania's mountainous region. The layout spans 37 acres (15 hectares) across terrain shaped by Mount Dunlap and Monterey Peak.
The area holds a connection to the Civil War, with Confederate and Union forces moving through this region during the 1863 Gettysburg campaign. Its location near the Monterey Mountain pass made the area strategically important during that period.
The course draws golfers from the Washington D.C. and Baltimore regions, who have come here for summer recreation across multiple generations. Its mountain location makes it a preferred escape for players seeking relief from city life.
The course offers a driving range and putting green for practice, while the clubhouse provides refreshments and social spaces. Visitors should note that the hilly terrain can be demanding, so sturdy footwear is recommended.
The course terrain evolved from a former mountain swamp, which fills the holes with natural challenges and elevation changes. This geological feature creates strategic playing variations that are rarely found on modern courses.
