Golf in Edinboro

Edinboro is a small Erie County borough anchored by PennWest Edinboro University, a state university that has given the community its primary identity for generations. The borough sits on the Lake Erie plain south of the city of Erie, where the terrain flattens from the moderate elevation of the inland townships toward the lake's shoreline. Edinboro Lake lies adjacent to the borough, providing the recreational anchor that draws both university and community activity. The Lake Erie plain's glacially scoured landscape produces flat to gently undulating terrain — a different character from the ridge-and-valley geology that defines most of Pennsylvania. Golf in the Edinboro area draws from the university population, the permanent residents of southern Erie County, and the communities extending toward Conneaut Lake and Crawford County's lake district.
