Thinking About Living in Fox Chapel Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Fox Chapel Golf Club and the surrounding Pittsburgh Metro & Laurel Highlands golf market.
Fox Chapel Golf Club was founded in 1919-1923 in Fox Chapel, the affluent borough roughly 10 miles northeast of downtown Pittsburgh that shares its name with the club. Seth Raynor laid out the 18-hole course in 1923, working in his signature template-hole style (Redan, Biarritz, Punchbowl); the club sits in a cluster of old-guard Pittsburgh-area private clubs alongside Pittsburgh Field Club, Longue Vue Club, and Oakmont Country Club. In August 2024, Fox Chapel hosted the U.S. Senior Women's Open, won by Leta Lindley -- a genuine national championship that speaks to the course's continued architectural and competitive standing.
For a golf-oriented homebuyer, Fox Chapel Golf Club's relevance is tied to Fox Chapel borough itself: one of the wealthiest, most consistently desirable residential communities in the Pittsburgh metro, where the golf club is a long-standing part of the area's identity rather than the centerpiece of a specific purpose-built subdivision.
