Life at Diamond Run Golf Club

From fine dining to a fine game of golf, life at Diamond Run Golf Club gives Members everything they might want from the Club experience. We pride ourselves on fostering connections and relationships among Members, which is why we hold a variety of different events and get-togethers throughout the year to help Members get to know each other better and forge bonds that will go beyond the time they spend at the Club.

A Premier Pennsylvania Golf Course

Nestled in the lush green landscape of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, Diamond Run Golf Club is a haven for golfers.  With a course rivaling the best in the world and a Club geared toward complete Member satisfaction, Diamond Run Golf Club proudly welcomes Members and their guests to play one of the premier golf courses in Western Pennsylvania and beyond.

According to PGA legend and course designer Gary Player, the golf course at Diamond Run is outstanding for several reasons, including its beautiful views, rolling fairways and capability to challenge both the amateur and the seasoned golfer.

The course’s appeal to a wide range of golfers is due in part to the five sets of tees used to vary distance and angle to the green. Additionally, many of the tees are elevated from the fairway to give players confidence with distance. However, when the tees are placed at the black championship markers and the rough is grown out a little bit, the course at Diamond Run presents a stiff challenge for even the most experienced golfer.

“You have to build a course with flexibility,” Player said. “I am so against tricked-up golf courses. They’re an exercise in frustration for the amateur. Anyone can come here and shoot good golf. That’s the mark of a great course.”

“Diamond Run has turned out even better than I first imagined it,” Player continued. “This course is simply one of the best in the world, and I say this in humility. It is not boasting but, rather, an absolute fact.”

Diamond Run is a Club for the avid golfer as well as for families and guests.  The Club offers Men’s and Women’s Golf Associations, a Junior Golf Program, Couples’ Golfing Events and an active, welcoming social atmosphere. Individual lessons, clinics and group lessons are also available from PGA Professionals for all levels of expertise.

Designed by the renowned golf legend Gary Player, the 18-hole championship golf course at Diamond Run is without question the ultimate expression of the Gary Player guarantee of uncompromising standards in golf course design. With wide, lush fairways, the course has been carefully designed to be in perfect harmony with the native Western Pennsylvania landscape.
