Philipsburg Elks Lodge & Country Club

About Philipsburg Elks Lodge & Country Club

You'll find one of central Pennsylvania's better-kept secrets tucked into the rolling hills outside this small mining town, where the Elks have maintained a surprisingly solid 18-hole layout that punches well above its weight class. The course takes excellent advantage of the natural terrain, with elevation changes that create both strategic interest and scenic vistas across the Moshannon Valley. What strikes you immediately is how well-conditioned everything is – the greens roll true, the fairways are consistently maintained, and there's a clear pride of ownership that shows in every detail. The real appeal here is the combination of challenge and accessibility, plus walking is not only allowed but encouraged on a routing that flows naturally across the property. At 4.5 stars from nearly 200 reviews, members and guests consistently praise both the course conditions and the welcoming clubhouse atmosphere. For the price point – typical of small-town Pennsylvania golf – you're getting tremendous value, especially if you appreciate courses where local knowledge and shot-making matter more than raw distance. It's the kind of place that rewards repeat visits as you learn the subtleties of each hole.
