Seven Springs Mountain Resort Golf Course

Seven Springs Mountain Resort's golf course in Champion, Pennsylvania, is an X.G. Hassenplug design from the 1960s that occupies a true Laurel Highlands mountain setting, genuine elevation changes are the course's defining characteristic, with nearly every hole offering a dramatic view from either the tee, the green, or both. The Highlands Golf Club layout plays as a mid-to-high-handicap test, with forgiving corridors off the tee but meaningful defense around the greens. Conditioning has been a recurring point of review criticism in recent years, paved cart paths needing repair, tee boxes needing leveling, sand traps running light on sand, and some greens with spotty grass coverage. The course carries a green fee in the $80 range. For Laurel Highlands trips centered on Seven Springs' ski-and-summer resort operation, the on-property golf is convenient and scenic; for serious golfers traveling specifically for golf, nearby Nemacolin's Mystic Rock and Shepherd's Rock (both Pete Dye) are the stronger picks in the region.
