Latrobe Country Club, Private golf club in Unity Township, Pennsylvania.
Latrobe Country Club is a private golf course in Unity Township, Pennsylvania, laid out over 18 holes on a rolling property. The fairways run through the region's hilly terrain, with bent grass greens and tees woven into the natural landscape.
The club opened in 1920, founded by local industrialists and bankers on land that was once the Kennan Farm, starting with nine holes. Over time the layout grew to 18 holes as the surrounding community developed.
The course is closely tied to Arnold Palmer's story, as his father Milfred "Deacon" Palmer worked there and introduced the young Arnold to golf at an early age. Visitors with an interest in golf history can still feel that personal connection walking the same fairways.
The club is private and open only to members and their guests, so arranging access in advance is necessary before planning a visit. It is worth contacting the club directly to understand what facilities are available on the day.
The back nine features covered wooden bridges that offer shelter during storms and echo the traditional bridge-building style of the region. This kind of structure is rarely found on golf courses and gives the second half of the round a character you would not expect.
