Bucknell Golf Club is a semi-private, 18-hole, par-70 course in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, open to public play and home to the Bucknell University men's and women's golf teams. Emil Loeffler designed the original nine holes in 1930, with construction supervised by his brother Archie Loeffler. Ed Ault expanded the layout to 18 holes in 1964, and Ron Forse updated the course in 1996. From the back tees it plays 6,224 yards with a course rating of 70.7 and a slope of 131, and walking is allowed. The club has hosted multiple US Open qualifiers and has been voted among the best college golf courses in the country.
