Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum: On Course

Abstract

This region is home to the nation's oldest surviving continuously played golf course. Established by Joseph Fox in 1887,the Foxburg Country Club and Golf Course celebrates its 130th anniversary next year. Nestled near the Allegheny River about 60 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, this USGA course has welcomed competitors to its narrow, but challenging fairways for more than a century. However, a different kind of golf recently attracted hundreds of athletes from around the world to Pittsburgh-they came to compete in the Professional Disc Golf World Championships.
