Pennsylvania Golf Courses : Mercer County
It was created on March 12, 1800, from part of Allegheny County and named for General Hugh Mercer. It was attached to Crawford County until February 1804 when it was formally organized. Mercer, the county seat, was laid out in 1803 and incorporated as a borough on March 28, 1814. Included in the Last Purchase of 1784, the land that became this county was intended to be Donation Land awarded to compensate Revolutionary veteran soldiers. Settlers slowly arrived in the 1790s, but the county was created before there was much population. The towns of Mercer (at first a tavern), Sharon, Greenville, and Grove City, all began between 1796 and 1798. Distilleries and grist and sawmills marked the early economy. A canal to the Allegheny River opened in 1834, and one to Erie in 1844. These stimulated coal and iron mining. The low quality iron ore soon was abandoned, but Mercer’s famous block coal sold well. Railroads began to arrive in 1864. Using the block coal, blast furnaces began in 1838, and the Sharon Iron Company began a rolling mill and foundry in 1851. Iron rails, nails, and bars were the main products until the industry was jolted by the Panic of 1873. The first steel mill opened in 1887; the Sharon Steel works in 1896. After World War II, the Army’s Camp Reynolds was turned into an industrial park. Pymatuning Dam in 1934 and Shenango Dam in 1967 rearranged the county’s topography. Sheep and dairy farming persist, some on it on Amish farms. Farms cover 42 percent of the county, and oats and sheep are produced in abundance. Let’s see the Pennsylvania golf courses in Mercer County.

The original course at this club was a par 3, but it was later redesigned into a regulation nine hole course in 1980, then extended to eighteen holes in 1997. This is an extremely narrow course in which all the holes are tree lined. Because of the course's severe tightness, the club decided not to add sand bunkers or rough to its design; this was done to help keep the speed of play fast. However, there is a water hazard on one of the holes. The average-sized greens are slightly sloped and have medium speed.

This club has two nine hole courses. The Par Three Course is fairly wide open with some small trees lining the fairways. There is a water hazard that comes into play on hole 5, which measures 205 yards. Also, a small stream can be a hazard for some players on hole 6, which measures 190 yards. This is the only par 3 course in the area. The Regulation Course is lined with small trees and is well manicured. All of the greens are fairly large.

Pennsylvania Golf Courses Comments:
This wooded course has water hazards coming into play throughout its entire design. In addition, numerous sand bunkers have been incorporated into the course design, and the fairways are narrow. The course's signature hole is 6, a 500-yard, par 5, featuring thick woods on the left and water on the right, plus any short approach shot (to the semi-island green) can put you in the water or out-of-bounds. The terrain is fairly flat, but some holes are somewhat hilly.

This course was built on hilly terrain, so you can expect some uneven lies. The fairways are tree lined and bordered by a standard cut of rough. The fast greens vary in undulation. The signature hole is 18, a 407-yard, par 4, requiring a long tee shot up a straightaway fairway, then an approach shot over a lake, highlighted by a scenic fountain, to the green.

This hilly course was designed by a non-golfer and is considered mentally challenging. Each hole has its own unique characteristics, and players say you'll need to use every club in your bag. The signature hole is 4, a 503-yard, par 5, which doglegs to the right and requires a second or third shot over a ravine. Water hazards come into play holes 1 and 14.
