Nestled in the scenic hills of Peters Township just 15 miles south of Pittsburgh, the 1781 Club is far more than a golf course, it’s a dynamic community hub where golf, dining, and celebration unite in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re swinging a club, savoring farm-fresh cuisine, or raising a glass at a private event, the 1781 Club delivers memorable experiences at every turn.
The par-72, 18-hole layout, crafted by Dominic Palomba, Jr., stretches over 6,300 yards of beautiful parkland terrain. With its rolling fairways and smooth, fast greens, the course offers a rewarding challenge for players of every skill level. But it’s what happens beyond the fairways that truly sets the 1781 Club apart.
From the moment you arrive, the club’s progressive approach to membership is clear. With flexible packages designed to fit every lifestyle, from avid golfers and young families to casual players and local businesses, the 1781 Club breaks the mold of traditional private clubs. Here, inclusivity isn’t just a word, it’s the foundation of everything they do.
At the heart of the club’s social life are its two signature dining venues. The Cellar, a public restaurant and lounge, serves as a casual gathering spot for golfers, locals, and visitors. With a full bar, warm atmosphere, and delicious, locally inspired fare, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a round or meet friends for a bite. Open Tuesday through Sunday, The Cellar has become a staple in the community.
For a more elevated experience, members can enjoy The Farmers Table, the club’s exclusive dining room featuring a menu that celebrates Western Pennsylvania’s agricultural roots. Seasonal, scratch-made dishes and an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients make each visit a culinary highlight. It’s elegant without being stuffy, just another example of how the 1781 Club blends tradition with modern comfort.
The club’s four Trackman indoor simulators also deserve a spotlight. These state-of-the-art setups allow members and guests to practice, play iconic courses from around the globe, and compete in fun, interactive formats, all in a lively, year-round environment.
And when it comes to hosting private events, the 1781 Club shines. Whether you’re planning a graduation party, birthday celebration, baby or bridal shower, or another special occasion, the staff goes above and beyond to create unforgettable moments. Available to both members and the public, the club’s flexible event spaces and personalized service make it one of the premier destinations in the region for gatherings of all kinds. The beautifully designed clubhouse, with its blend of farmhouse charm, modern touches, expansive deck, and cozy fireplaces, provides a stunning and adaptable backdrop for celebrations big and small. From décor to catering, the team at the 1781 Club delivers with style, warmth, and attention to detail.
It’s no wonder the 1781 Club has earned rave reviews and was honored in the 2024 Western Pennsylvania Golf Choice Awards with wins for Best Public Holes No. 9 and No. 13, as well as Best Grill Room/Bar. Sustainability also plays a central role here, with initiatives like eliminating single-use plastics and partnering with local farms to reduce environmental impact and support the community.
Inspired by Peters Township’s rich farming heritage and named for the year the township was founded, the 1781 Club is a place where tradition meets innovation, where food, friendship, and fun flourish. Whether you’re looking to play a great round of golf, enjoy an amazing meal, or throw a party your guests will talk about for years, the 1781 Club welcomes you with open arms.
Come for the golf. Stay for the vibe. Celebrate life’s best moments.
