Pennsylvania Golf Courses : Cambria County
Created on March 26, 1804, from parts of Huntingdon, Somerset, and Bedford Counties and named for Cambria Township of Somerset County. Cambria is an ancient name for Wales. It was attached to Somerset County until 1807. Ebensburg, the county seat was incorporated as a borough on January 15, 1825 and named by Reverend Rees Lloyd for his deceased eldest son, Eben. First permanent settlement was on the site of Loretto in 1788, and population growth was very slow until the 1830s. Then came the beginnings of coal mining (1825), the Allegheny Portage Railroad (1834), iron production (1841), and the Pennsylvania Railroad (1854). Always a large bituminous producer, today about seventh in the state, the county’s iron ore was once also worth mining. Cambria Iron Works were formed in 1852 and bought out by Bethlehem Steel in 1922. The area witnessed pioneer projects in the Bessemer method and the open-hearth steel making processes, and in rolling steel rails. Disasters recurred: the Johnstown floods of 1889 and 1936, and mine disasters in 1902 (Johnstown), 1922 (Spangler), and 1940 (Portage). Labor unions made little progress in Cambria until the passage of the federal Wagner Act in 1937. Because it was so strongly committed to heavy industry, deindustrialization has been pronounced in Cambria since the 1970s. Welsh, Irish, and German groups were among the pre-industrial population, and the Russian prince-priest Demetrius Gallitzin ministered at Loretto from 1799 to 1829. Industrial employment resulted in the appearance of a medley of European ethnic groups. Let’s see the Pennsylvania golf courses in Cambria County.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This short, demanding course is located on a college campus in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania. The course has never been altered since it was built by Donald Ross in 1917. The greens are sloped to allow for water runoff, and they are considered quick, but not fast. Watch for hidden breaks that will cause your putt to slide away from the mountains. The fairways are wooded.

This relatively flat course is easy to walk, but there is some mounding that can cause uneven lies. Every fairway is somewhat open, but tree lined. There are no water hazards on the course, but there are a few sand bunkers. The small greens are well-manicured and medium speed. There are additional tees that can be used when playing an eighteen hole round.

This course has fairly large and usually fast greens. Hole 5 is a 150-yard, par 3, with a water hazard directly in front of the green and three sand bunkers strategically placed on the fairway. There are many obstacles including ponds, trees and sand bunkers that will make scoring well difficult for the average golfer.
