How Many Golf Courses Are in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania's golf infrastructure encompasses 468 named courses and country clubs distributed across 423 cities and 59 counties, according to data drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal government's official gazetteer of named places. Because every entry derives from this authoritative geographic database, each facility represents a formally named location with an established geographic position.

The USGS Geographic Names Information System catalogs named geographic features rather than active business operations, which means the directory captures a point-in-time snapshot subject to inherent limitations. Newly established courses or recently renamed facilities may not yet appear in the federal record, and operational details such as public or private designation, pricing structures, and course layout fall outside the scope of the geographic database. To obtain current information about a specific course—including hours of operation, green fees, membership requirements, and available tee times—individuals should consult the facility's official website or contact the course directly.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Pennsylvania directory

Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
