Penn National features two 18 hole, championship golf courses - the Founders Course and Iron Forge. Both continue to receive accolades from publications, and Golf Magazine recently rated Penn National as a four star facility in its' 2000-2001 "Places to Play".
Iron Forge was designed by architect Bill Love to pay tribute the land's past. Love set out to fit the golf course to the land. The course starts near the Michaux State Forest, in the foothills of South Mountain, and makes a single loop home, passing through a variety of terrain that offers exciting golf and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains ant the rich, open farmland. In contrast to the Founders Course, Iron Forge is nearly treeless - a tribute to the Scottish links land courses, where the challenges of the natural environment can be havoc enough for the wayward stroke. The course is a blend of modern golf, with sculpted fairways and bentgrass greens, and the tradition of golf with its soul laid bare to the forces of nature.
