About Penn National Golf Club

Penn National Golf Club is one of South Central Pennsylvania's premier golf destinations, offering 36 holes of championship golf across two distinct courses. Located in Fayetteville, just 20 minutes from Pine Ridge Campground, it's the perfect spot for golfers camping in the area.

The Founders Course is a classic parkland design featuring tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, and bentgrass greens that challenge players of all skill levels. The Iron Forge Course offers a links-style experience with open layouts, mounding, and water features.

The clubhouse features a full-service pro shop with the latest equipment and apparel, plus the Forge Tavern restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with beautiful views of the courses. Golf packages and stay-and-play options are available.

Penn National also hosts outings, tournaments, and leagues throughout the season. Whether you're looking for a casual round with fellow campers or a full day of golf, Penn National delivers a first-class experience in a beautiful mountain setting.
