Edgewood Country Club, is a private golf, tennis, and social club located in Churchill, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. The club was founded in 1898 in Edgewood, Pennsylvania, and moved in 1921 to Churchill, where Donald Ross designed its new golf course while concurrently designing Pinehurst No. 2.[1]
Golf
Edgewood Country Club was started as a golf and social club near the Pittsburgh steel mills. The golf course was designed to promote fair and enjoyable play with a comfortable walking experience, consistent with Ross's statement, "Golf should be a pleasure, not a penance."[2]
Like many Western Pennsylvania courses, it has a rolling terrain. Ross, however, designed the holes to limit sidehill lies. Edgewood has fast greens, typical of Ross courses, regularly running about 12 feet on the stimpmeter. The golf course has no creeks, lakes, or other water hazards. Its predominant features are the challenging greens and dangerous sand bunkers. The course is played as Donald Ross originally designed it after a restoration during the club's 100th anniversary.
The course has blue championship tees, white men's/amateur women tees, red women's tees, and golden senior's tees. The table below shows par and yardage for each of hole and the rating and slope for each tee:

Edgewood hosts many competitions for members throughout the year, such as member-guests, stag events, holiday events, and several club championships. Edgewood also fields junior and senior interclub teams.
The club's pro shop is run by head professional Peter Micklewright Jr., who provides lessons.
