Everything is so elegant and the layout of the property is immaculate. When you walk inside the main area, everything is just as beautiful as it is on the outside. The ballroom is huge and everything is brand new due to a remodel they did earlier this year. But the main reason for the 5 stars is the staff. Everyone is so nice and so helpful. They always had a smile on their face! I will definitely be hosting any of my events here in the future!

I recently photographed a wedding at Longue Vue and left the day in awe of the venue…read more When I say the view is stunning - I mean it. A gorgeous view of the beautiful hills in Pittsburgh and a winding river. The estate/mansion itself is beautiful stone with slate tile roofing. It truly feels like a castle tucked away on a private villa. I've photographed many weddings over the years but Longue Vue will go down in history as having one of the best staffs I've experienced. Any time myself or either of the other two photographers had a question - we were quickly given an answered and offered any additional help we'd need. And, a perk - we only had to ask about our dinner twice. (Wedding photographers know this is a game changer and a far cry from the usual 3 or 4 times I need to ask the staff for a plated dinner on any given wedding day.) After asking the second person about our dinner, we were served within one minute by an incredibly kind waiter with a smile on his face. We were also served drinks (seltzer for my second photographer, pop for me) during "non-serving" hours by a nice bartender who immediately understood that we hadn't been able to grab drinks earlier and knew how thirsty we must be. Both the bartender and server checked on us during our meal (which we were eating in the living room, away from guests) to ensure we had every single thing we could possibly need. The gentleman who lead us around on the golf carts was also a stellar employee. I cannot say enough great things about him. The ONLY downfall is that the archways are a really popular spot for portraits. (Rightfully so. They're gorgeous!) But they are also the main entrance and exit from the parking areas, so there are regularly cars going through them. If you are a bride/groom and want your photos specifically there - plan ahead. Plan for extra time for those portraits to allow for the time cars need to go through and then for your photographer to set up the shot again. I look forward to visiting again soon.

I have lived in Pittsburgh for the majority of my life, but had never been to the Oakmont Country…read moreClub until last month for a wedding reception. When we arrived, there was the option of valet parking or self-parking. We opted to self-park, a got a spot only a few minute walk from the door. The entrance is on the right as you pull in. If you were dropping anything off, there is a governor's drive that you can use to park essentially right next to the front door. The indoor portion is quite nice. There are several rooms likely used for various purposes. For this event, we got to see about 3 or 4 of the different spaces. The room where the cocktail hour was held has a lot of windows, and you can see out into the golf course. There is some seating here, and four the event they had some cocktail tables set up. The ballroom held the 150 person wedding just fine. There is a side room off of the ballroom that was used for the Cookie Table. It had some seating so guests could enjoy their desserts without having to take them all the way back across the ballroom. Also, the restrooms are very nice. In the women's, there is a seating area and plenty of stalls. It is not outdated, but think of a restroom from a by-gone era in terms of layout. They also had various hygiene products On the counter for guests to use. Also used during the cocktail hour and beyond was the back porch area. It also had a good amount of seating, and overlooks some of the holes on the golf course. We were able to get an up close view of the course and walk around a little bit while out there. This was especially cool because this wedding happened about two weeks before the U.S. Open, so they were preparing for that event outside. As stated, this wedding happened right before the U.S. Open. The County Club used some U.S. Open branded cups and napkins throughout the venue for the event. We even got to take some of the cups home as a "souvenir" since they were plastic. Also, wedding guests were able to visit the Pro Shop, and purchase some U.S. Open merchandise. This was a big hit with the crowd! The food served was not bad. We had the option of three plated meals. Most got the Filet Mignon with Mashed Potatoes and Vegetables. Nothing wrong with it, but could have used some more seasoning. The steak was cooked well. The other options were a Lemon Beurre Blanc Salmon or Eggplant Roulade Florentine. The eggplant dish was the favorite of all three, but it was all good. Everyone was also served a salad and bread. The logistics and setup of the event were great. The staff did a great job of executing the event and running it smoothly. The staff here were wonderful. They helped with anything we needed and were very friendly. One of the staff got us some extra U.S. Open cups to take home with us! Also, I made cookies for the Cookie Table and had to drop them off the night prior. The staff then was very helpful and made the drop off process a breeze. Overall, I enjoyed my first visit to the Oakmont Country Club. If you are looking to host an event here, it is a great place to do so. I hope to return in the future! NOTE: Even for a delivery, those coming on premise have to wear either business attire or golf attire. No jeans are permitted.

Attended the 125th US Open on Saturday and all-in-all, it was a pretty cool experience. The amount…read moreof people that attend this event is just insane, but it was very well organized. Never had to wait for a shuttle. It was nice that the route to get to the course allowed the shuttles to use roads that were closed to the public so it took less than 25 mins to get there from the lot where we parked our car. The workers and volunteers were super friendly and welcoming despite working very long hours over the course of the week. And the food - SO GOOD. I wish I took a picture of the crab cake sandwich - it was HUGE. And ALL crab! We were in the Trophy Club for the majority of the day so we had an amazing view of the 3rd fairway with the iconic Church Pews bunker. Really cool spot to see the pros play (and struggle) on this course. The bathrooms were air-conditioned and well-stocked. Waste was managed timely and efficiently, and the entire place was immaculate despite all of the rain. The only area of improvement would be to set up more seating or counters to set down your drink/food because we spent a lot of time walking around looking for a spot to eat. They also had to close several of the crosswalks on Saturday, also due to the rain/mud, which meant bottle-necks of spectators funneling through to get across to the other side of the course. This meant up to 45-60 mins of standing and waiting to cross with nothing to see except the mass of people surrounding you, doing the same thing. They did offer a full refund for your tickets the morning of because access to certain viewing areas of the course would be limited throughout the day. Of course, we still decided to attend knowing full-well that this would complicate navigating the course. I was perfectly happy staying on the side closest to the entrance since that's where most of the amenities were located, but I can see how this would be frustrating for many fans. All-in-all, this experience was definitely worth the cost of admission. The staff and level of organization is what made this experience so memorable!

Fox Chapel is a true gem located 10 miles northeast of downtown Pittsburgh and across the Alleghany…read moreRiver from famed Oakmont Country Club. The Seth Raynor layout boasts template hole designs such as Punchbowl, Eden, Cape, Redan, Alps, and Biarritz. The front nine features more template holes than the back with the inward nine showcasing more hole designs unique to Fox Chapel. Like all Raynor courses, Fox Chapel focuses much more on good architecture and having fun rather than a punishing challenge. The result is a layout that you look forward to playing every time out whether it is with your buddies, spouse, or kids. The family friendly club delivers a parkland layout that caters to all handicap levels with a modest level of forced carries and non grassed areas with additional facilities that include fine and casual dining, a swimming pool, and tennis courts. Raynor conceived a routing that makes it one of the easiest and most enjoyable courses to walk that you'll find, especially considering the rolling terrain. This feature helped Fox Chapel secure the 2002 Curtis Cup and the 2012-2014 Senior Players Championships. The layout also lends itself to Fox Chapel boasting a healthy caddie program with three levels of caddie experience to choose from while those that don't wish to walk being offered a cart for their round. Bottom line, Fox Chapel is a flagship example of how to deliver a club that attracts families through great amenities, service, and a Top 100 golf course that is flat out fun for every handicap level. In conclusion, I wish Fox Chapel was my home course. The routing is a ton of fun with brilliant versions of Redan and Biarritz; my favorite par three designs. From the scratch golfer to the guy taking his family out for a round, Fox Chapel beautifully caters to a wide swath of golfers with the enjoyable architecture that only Seth Raynor could deliver. A top five course in Pennsylvania, don't miss an opportunity to play here.

You will be given a receipt that has a number at the bottom. You will need that number to get your balls from the machine. To get the balls, you go to the machine and place your empty bucket at the bottom and you enter the number, and all the balls will fall out into your bucket. A side note - I was told you have to bring your own golf clubs. I have a set, but want to include that here so no one is caught off guard. At the driving range you have one covered area and two open areas. See the picture to see a snippet of the area. I like that they had a sheet that listed the yardage of each flag. I honestly had a blast here - I just started golf and took my first lesson last month. It was great to come here and put all that I learned together. Definitely will be back here in the future!

I cannot begin to convey what an extraordinary experience it was. Joe, the manager, was hands down one of the most helpful, responsive, accommodating and professional people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He hooked us up with excellent vendors from day one and helped us organize a last-minute event seamlessly. He was there for us every step of the way and, during the event, was behind the scenes coordinating with other vendors to ensure that everything went off without a hitch. He helped make our party everything we could have dreamed it would be and more. The venue itself is ideal - gorgeous, spacious, loads of accessible parking, plenty of windows with beautiful views, even nice bathrooms! Joe's staff was attentive and ultra-professional. Oh and the food. At the risk of sounding repetitive or gushing, the food was total perfection. Not sure how they managed to please a roomful of picky eaters - many with food sensitivities, but their buffet menu did just that (garlic breadsticks in particular had the kids going back to the buffet table again and again). Ok, one last thing - the price. Not sure if it was just the time of year, but we were on a very tight budget and this was one of only a few venues that fit right into it! We feel so fortunate to have found this place and could never thank Joe and his team enough for an evening that we will never forget. Five stars PLUS for Green Oaks!!!
