The Youghiogheny Country Club was established in April 1911 when a group of golf enthusiasts acquired 107 acres in Elizabeth Township, previously owned by Colonel Douglas and his descendants, the McClure Family. The property included a farmhouse, which was subsequently renovated and repurposed as the member social center.
The official opening of the Youghiogheny Country Club took place on May 30, 1911. Despite this, construction continued annually until the original farmhouse was enveloped by a new structure, combining Colonial and Spanish architectural styles in buff white brick. In the early years, one significant expense was securing a reliable water supply from the Youghiogheny River. During summer months, spring water was utilized, whereas winter required transporting water uphill from the river and delivering ice daily via two horse-drawn teams. Transportation challenges necessitated that the club’s social hours align with the operating schedule of the nearby trolley line. By July 1915, two water tanks were constructed in a hollow near the river to supply water for the greens.
Today, the Youghiogheny Country Club offers a range of modern amenities for its members. These include a newly renovated pool, a gym equipped with a sauna, and an expansive ballroom capable of accommodating up to 300 guests. Additionally, the club features dedicated men’s and women’s locker rooms for golfers, enhancing the overall experience for members.
