Latrobe Country Club

Latrobe Country Club is a private golf course in Unity Township, Pennsylvania, featuring an 18-hole layout spread across the property. The course includes bent grass tees and greens set within the region's natural landscape, with manicured fairways that flow through the terrain.

The club was founded in 1920 by local industrialists and bankers on land from the former Kennan Farm property, starting as a nine-hole course. The layout was later expanded into the full 18-hole design that exists today, reflecting the area's growth and development.

The course played a formative role in Arnold Palmer's early golf education, as his father Deacon Palmer worked on the grounds and introduced him to the game. This connection ties the place to the personal story of one of golf's greatest players.

The club features a Pro Shop, practice putting area, and driving range for members and authorized guests. Cart paths are well-developed throughout the grounds, making it easy to navigate the course during play.

The back nine holes feature covered bridges that provide shelter during storms while reflecting the region's traditional wooden bridge architecture. These structures are an uncommon addition to golf course design and create a distinctive character on the property.
