Briarwood Golf Club offers 18 championship holes set in a quiet, rural stretch of South Central Pennsylvania, where the layout follows the area's gently rolling hills.
The course dates to 1956. A full renovation of the tee complexes and bunkers was completed in 2011, complementing the wide, contoured fairways and greens and keeping the round playable for golfers across a range of abilities.
The club also has the "Final Five," a five-hole course designed by Bill Love in 1992. With multiple tee options, it places a premium on straight driving and accurate approaches into undulating bentgrass greens guarded by bunkers.
