Golf in Bethel Park

Bethel Park is Allegheny County's second-largest municipality, a South Hills borough of roughly 30,000 people that developed rapidly after the Fort Pitt Tunnel opened Pittsburgh's southern suburbs to commuters in 1960. The borough stretches across a plateau between Brush Creek and Piney Fork, with South Park — one of Allegheny County's premier recreational facilities — occupying the southeastern corner and providing the open green space that has made Bethel Park attractive to families for generations. South Park contains an Allegheny County-operated golf course that draws from a broad South Hills market. Bethel Park's commercial strip along Route 88 and the community's suburban grid represent mid-century suburban development at its most functional, with the recreational infrastructure the county invested in during that era still paying dividends. The borough is well-positioned for the South Hills golf cluster that spreads through Allegheny County's southern tier.
