“When the names Tillinghast and Findlay are attached to it, it’s no surprise that Galen Hall is a pilgrimage for golf course architecture fiends like me. It’s absolutely worth the trip and then some. It’s a one-of-a-kind course that calls for every kind of shot you’ve got in the bag. Every hole is something new. It feels like a rare time capsule of old-school golf that remains fresh and, above all, fun. The down-to-earth atmosphere and quaint countryside scenery can’t be beat.” – Cale A.
Galen Hall Golf Club in Wernersville, PA, offers a unique golfing experience rich with historical charm and challenging play. Established in 1912 and enhanced in 1917 by A.W. Tillinghast, one of golf’s architectural greats, the course features the first island green in the USA, known as the Moat Hole. This landmark is just one highlight of a course that boasts a blend of mountainous terrain and traditional links-style play. Each hole offers its own challenge, from the 336-yard 1st hole to the demanding par 4, 453-yard 14th hole with its creek hazards. The small, fast greens demand precision, particularly on the 7th hole, notorious for its severe slopes.
Beyond the greens, Galen Hall’s serene setting, free from major housing developments, ensures a peaceful yet engaging round of golf. With facilities to host outings and events, this course combines scenic beauty, historical depth, and modern amenities to deliver a top-tier golfing experience. Whether you’re looking to test your skills on the greens or simply enjoy a day out in nature, Galen Hall is a destination that appeals to all.
