Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s administration is closing the beloved South Mountain Golf Course in the Michaux State Forest, despite pleas from golfers to keep it open.
The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) owns the state forest land where the golf course is located.David George has a concession lease on the land and operates the nine-hole golf course. The well-maintained public course often hosts fundraiser tournaments. Green fees are $25 for an 18-hole round with a cart—an accessible rate compared to Penn National Golf Club, just seven miles away, which runs $99 for a weekend round with a cart.
