Summary:
Short course that offers little challenge to the good players with the exception of the last two holes, but allows the average player to shake off mistakes and score well. A number of holes are driver, pitching wedge (and the bigger hitters can drive the green on the par 4 Hole #1). Fairly well maintained but dries out during the summer due to lack of sprinkler system. No sand bunkers on the course.

Summary:
One of Western Pennsylvania's fine public golf courses. The course has a little of everything: a few holes with water, a few holes with OB, a few holes with sand, and a few holes that are narrow and tree-lined (although much of the course is "grip it and rip it").

Suncrest has the best three finishing holes of all of the local public courses. Number 16 is a long, challenging par 5, not reachable in two by anyone but the long hitters, with a tiny, two tiered green that can break your heart if you are on the wrong level. Number 17 is a 220+ yard par three into the wind that has a number of grass bunkers surrounding it. And, number 18 is a 420 yard, uphill, dogleg left, out-of-bounds on the right, undulating green monster, that can rip your heart out. (One day I came to 18 at 2 under par for the back nine and left 1 over par.) Anyone who can par the last three holes is definitely a "player."
