Linden Hall has proudly earned the title of “Best Value” for public golf courses in the first annual Western Pennsylvania Golf Choice Awards. This prestigious recognition, voted on by golfers across the region, reflects the exceptional value and experience that Linden Hall offers to both seasoned players and newcomers alike.
Nestled within the scenic Laurel Highlands, just 38 miles south of Pittsburgh, Linden Hall’s 18-hole, par-73 course offers a challenging yet enjoyable experience. The course, set against the rolling terrain of its expansive 785-acre estate, features wide fairways and superbly maintained greens, making it a top destination for golf enthusiasts.
In addition to the stunning course, Linden Hall provides a variety of golf packages to suit all types of players. One popular package, the Two-Day Stay, includes unlimited golf with a cart, a complete dinner buffet, overnight accommodations, and breakfast providing an unforgettable golf getaway for just $235 per player. For the avid golfer, the “Golf Till You Drop” special offers three days of unlimited golf, two nights of buffet dinners, and two days of breakfast for just $408.
Linden Hall’s value isn’t limited to its golf offerings. Guests can relax at the 19th Hole Pub, unwind by the heated outdoor pool, or take advantage of the fitness center and scenic hiking/biking trails. Rooms are well-equipped with modern amenities, including DirecTV, individual heat and AC units, and more, ensuring comfort during every stay.
Adding to the celebration was a special moment honoring Joni Rennie, a dedicated employee who retired after 48 years of service. Joni’s warmth and kindness touched all who visited or worked at Linden Hall, and her presence will be greatly missed. In a touching tribute, General Manager Heather Albert insisted that Joni pose with the club’s award, recognizing her as an integral part of the club’s success. Heather’s humility and leadership are a testament to the strong, community-focused spirit that defines Linden Hall.
Beyond its exceptional golf and hospitality, Linden Hall’s history is woven into the fabric of Southwestern Pennsylvania. The mansion, built in 1913 for Sarah Cochran, widow of coal and coke magnate Philip Cochran, has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. With 35 rooms, 27 fireplaces, and opulent architecture, the mansion stands as a monument to the area’s rich past. Restored to its original grandeur by the United Steelworkers of America in 1976, Linden Hall today serves as a retreat and conference center, preserving its legacy while offering modern amenities.
With its combination of challenging golf, historic charm, and unmatched value, it’s no wonder Linden Hall was chosen as a winner in the Western PA Golf Choice Awards. Whether you’re here for a round of golf, a relaxing getaway, or to explore its rich history, Linden Hall continues to offer an experience like no other.
