Birdsfoot -- named for a flowering ground cover, birdsfoot trefoil, that permeates the property -- is more than just a curious mix of links-style and parkland holes. It has holes that go around lakes, holes that traverse a ravine, holes with fairways that wind through trees and holes with a tree in the fairway. It even has a hole that was pictured in Golf Magazine (No. 15).
Webmaster's Notes Birdsfoot is quickly gaining the reputation as one of the areas premier golf courses. The course was designed by Ault, Clark & Associates and built by the Williard Group. Birdsfoot has five sets of tees and some incredible views. The staff’s attention to detail and service is second to none. | Directions | Print Driving Directions   | FROM PITTSBURGH & SOUTH: 1.)
