About this course
The Founders Course at Penn National Golf Club sits on former farmland and iron-ore mining ground in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, in the shadow of South Mountain. Edmund Ault laid out the course in 1966, and it opened for play in 1968 as a Northeastern-style design with large contoured greens and tree-lined fairways. A 7-acre lake affects play on several holes on both nines, and the course was updated with a bunker and tee renovation in 2006. The par-72 layout stretches to nearly 6,970 yards from the back tees. Founders operates as a semi-private course alongside its sister layout, Iron Forge, with an on-site inn and golf shop supporting daily play and stay-and-play packages.
