Golf in Falls Creek

Falls Creek is a small Jefferson County borough on Sandy Lick Creek near the Clearfield County line, in the deeply forested plateau country of west-central Pennsylvania. Jefferson County is predominantly wooded (the Allegheny Plateau's extensive state forest holdings make it one of the most heavily forested counties in the state) and Falls Creek's position at the county boundary places it between DuBois's commercial influence to the west and Clearfield County's rural communities to the east. Sandy Lick Creek flows through a narrow valley characteristic of the plateau's drainage pattern, with steep wooded slopes on both sides. Golf in Falls Creek serves a small rural population that lacks the density to support facilities oriented toward any kind of destination or resort market: the club here is a community institution for the townships surrounding a small borough in a sparsely settled county.
