Golf in Delmont

Delmont sits at a significant crossroads in Westmoreland County where US-66 and Route 22 meet, eighteen miles east of Pittsburgh at the edge of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area's outer suburban ring. The New Alexandria-Delmont corridor has seen residential development spread along the turnpike axis, with commuters to Pittsburgh tolerating a longer drive in exchange for more affordable Westmoreland County real estate. Loyalhanna Creek drains through the area, joining the Conemaugh River downstream to form the Kiskiminetas. Westmoreland County has a strong golf tradition — Arnold Palmer was born in Latrobe twenty miles east, and the county's mix of working-class communities and newer suburban development sustains facilities at multiple price points. Delmont's position on the eastern commuter fringe of Pittsburgh makes it a practical base for exploring both the metropolitan golf market and the Laurel Highlands resort corridor farther east.
