Pennsylvania Golf Courses : McKean County
Created on March 26, 1804 from part of Lycoming County and named for Governor Thomas McKean. It was attached to Centre County until 1814, when it was combined with Potter County to elect commissioners jointly, and was also attached to Lycoming County for judicial and election purposes. It was formally organized in 1826. Smethport, the county seat, was laid out in 1807, and named in honor of Raymond and Theodore de Smeth, Amsterdam bankers. It was incorporated as a borough on February 11, 1853. Although Indian leaders yielded the land at the second Treaty of Fort Stanwix, the (Last Purchase) (1784), distance and dense forest delayed settlement. After 1798 settlers from New York arrived, many originally from New England. Except for Sergeant Township, all early settlements were on the Allegheny River and its tributaries. Lumbering controlled the economy and settlement spread with each new cutting operation. Bradford grew from a lumber camp. Deep drilling brought an oil boom in 1871, lasting two decades, and the water injection method revived production for another boom, 1930 to 1950. Railroads arrived in the late 1860s to revive the lumber industry, and tanning and wood chemical industries (turpentine, creosote, etc.) flourished while the forests lasted. But by 1925 little timber remained. The Civil War leader Thomas Leiper Kane did much to develop the area. The county led the nation in natural gas production from 1895 to 1905. A lumber industry revived after World War II using managed forest systems, and there is a little crude oil production. Other products today include motor oil, Zippo Lighters, electronics, corrugated boxes, furniture, glass containers and construction blocks, and oil and gas pipes and equipment. The county’s success is attested to by the value added to the economy from its manufactures, which increased 66 percent between 1987 and 1992. Commercial forest lands and the National Forest cover much of the county; only 7 percent of the area is farmed. Let’s see the Pennsylvania golf courses in KcKean County.

This course was built on fairly flat terrain, but there are some mounds that can cause uneven lies. There is a stream flowing down the middle of the course that comes into play on a few holes. An newly-constructed island green also comes into play, and mature trees line the fairways.

This facility opened its back nine during the 1998 season. This fairly flat course features some tree-lined fairways, but most are wide open. There are three water hazards, and a number of sand bunkers have been positioned throughout the course design. The greens are average in size and speed.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This course is so hilly, the course manager suggest that you take a riding cart. The wide fairways afford generous landing areas, but the greens are small. Water hazards (a pond and two creeks) come into play on three holes. There are additional tees that can be used when playing an eighteen hole round.
