I can't speak for others, but I think hole 15 at Knob Hill is a really fun hole. I'm surprised not to see it on some of these lists.

If you haven't played number 15 at Moraine then it is a great hole. 15 at Moraine is probably the best hole in my opinion.

Sorry, forgot about Moraine. Disregard my comment.

Does anyone have any ace stories from a Pittsburgh course?

 

[oneCarney]

I have lived in Pittsburgh a little over a year (Originally from Buffalo NY).
My Top 5 list of courses are:
1. Knob Hill
2. Linbrook
3. Moriane
4. Deer Lakes
5. Schenley

Knob Hill is my go to course, it's not as big as Moraine or Deer Lakes but it still offers very good shot variety. I think Linbrook is a gem and would be the best course in the area if they put in another 9. It was awesome watching the top players play these courses at Worlds this year.

All my aces are on Pittsburgh courses...

What is your most memorable ace?

 

[chris deitzel]

I've watched KB Clark hit over 35 aces at Knob. Once for $665. I've only got 15 aces there in 22 years of playing.

I grew up in Pittsburgh and never even heard of disc golf till being in college in Upper Michigan. Thankfully while visiting I was able to play the front 9 of Deer Lakes and wow that's a great course. Hopefully I can play it again next time I travel back "home". It was still awesome to see all the pros playing all these epic courses so close to where I grew up.

My only problem with that list is Knob Hill #10. Probably my least favorite hole to play out of everything that I have ever been to. It just chews me up every time!

It's a beastly hole. I just 3'd it for the first time recently after a string of 4s.

I think Linbrook is a gem and would be the best course in the area if they put in another 9.

Agreed. If it got the kind of grooming and tee pads Moraine did it'd be no contest. Not sure that'll ever happen, though.

What course would you recommend for a visitor? I just got some tickets for a concert and ball game for a weekend this summer. I might only have time for ONE of these great courses I'm considering...two if I'm lucky. I've played Schenley before so my PA wishlist looks like this...

Deer Lakes
Linbrook
Moraine
Slippery Rock
Tyler State Park

Any feedback here is much appreciated and go Pirates!

 

[The Last DJ]

Don't sleep on northern West Virginia either, if we expand our radius. Orange Crush!

^ This guy's got the idea! Maybe I'm a little biased, but some of my home state's courses are close to PA...Seth Burton, Orange Crush, and The Black Course are some of the best in West Virginia.

 

[Lachendr0]

1. Deer lakes
2. Moraine
3. Deer lakes
4. Moraine
5. Linbrook
6. Deer lakes
7. Linbrook
8. Moraine
9. Deer lakes
10. Knob hill
11. Moraine
12. Moraine
13. Knob hill
14. Moraine
15. Moraine
16. Moraine
17. Slippery rock
18. Moraine

Maybe just scrap them and play moraine all the time.

We need a better hole 11
Some slots dont even have a close 2nd option.

I didnt include Pymatuning or north strabane, which i think could offer a few to the list.

Since I made it to Pittsburgh for the first time last year, I thought I would add some pics from my road trip. Hope to get back there soon!

Moraine Hole 15

Deer Lakes Hole 15

The Black Course Hole 18

 

[HarkeyPuck]

Chris, Good call on 17 @ Slippery Rock!! Totally forgot about that one.

 

[HarkeyPuck]

Slippery Rock

Depends which way you are coming from. As these are all spread out. Moraine & Slippery Rock are 15 min. apart if playing 2 can be done.

^ Good info! I'll be up there with the lady. She loves to hike but isn't really into disc golf. I wouldn't subject her to more than a round or two while we're up there! It seems like I can't loose if I try out Moraine or Deer Lakes. I've heard great things about both courses. Slippery Rock might just be an added bonus. I bet it's a tough layout though...
