Pittsburgh Golf Courses & Tee Times in West Virginia
Pittsburgh's golf reputation starts at Oakmont, a private club founded in 1903 that hosted its record tenth U.S. Open in 2025 and gets an eleventh in 2033. The public side is older than you might think. The city's Schenley Park course dates to 1902 and is still the only course inside city limits, now named for Mayor Bob O'Connor. Allegheny County set aside North and South Parks in 1927 and planned golf courses for both in 1928. Across the West Virginia line, Wheeling's Oglebay Park has been open to the public since 1928.
Good weekend tee times in Pittsburgh go fast, and the ones that come back later (cancellations, groups that shrink) aren't announced. Yoink watches the tee sheets at 7 public courses here in Wheeling and Morgantown, and tells you the moment a time you want opens up.
The longest layout here is Jones Golf Course – Speidel (at Oglebay Resort) at 7,001 yards.
Who runs public golf in Pittsburgh
Allegheny County runs two 18-hole, par-72 courses, one at North Park and one at South Park. County residents get the resident rate: in 2026 a regular-season weekday 18 walking is $25 for residents and $31 for everyone else, $45 and $56 riding. Seniors 60 and over can buy a golf pass that drops weekday rates to $10 walking. The regular season runs April to early October, with fall rates into late November and limited winter hours after that. In the city, Bob O'Connor at Schenley Park is owned by Pittsburgh and leased to The First Tee. Across the line in West Virginia, the Wheeling Park Commission runs Oglebay on land Earl Oglebay left the city in 1926.

Why tee times in Pittsburgh are hard to get
The season in Pittsburgh runs roughly from spring to late fall. The first warm weekends in spring and the cool, dry weekends of fall are the hardest to book.
Most public courses open their tee sheet a set number of days ahead, often 7 to 14, and many municipal courses give residents or card holders an earlier window. The best weekend-morning times usually go the day they're released. Leagues and outings take blocks of the sheet before the public ever sees them.
When tee time cancellations happen
A full tee sheet rarely stays full. Many courses let you cancel without a fee up to 24 or 48 hours before your time, so spots tend to reappear in the last couple of days. A bad forecast shakes more loose, and a foursome that drops to three opens a single. None of it is announced. The time just shows up again on the booking page, and whoever looks first gets it.
How to get a tee time in Pittsburgh
Yoink
Every course in Pittsburgh on one watchlist: all 7 of them
Yoink checks all 7 courses in Pittsburgh every few minutes, so every open time is in one place and you're the first to know when one that fits your day, window and group appears, cancellations included.
Doing it by hand? Here's what works.
- Know the booking window. Find out how many days ahead each course releases times, and whether residents get an earlier window. Be ready the morning it opens.
- Look again 24 to 48 hours out. That's when most cancellation deadlines pass and spots come back.
- Be flexible on group size. Singles and twosomes fit into gaps a foursome can't.
- Try twilight and weekday afternoons. They're the last to fill and often cheaper.
- Widen the map. If your first choice is full, check the next town over. Wheeling has 2 courses on Yoink and Morgantown has 1.

Tee times in Pittsburgh: questions
How do I get notified when a tee time opens up in Pittsburgh?
Set a watch in Yoink for the courses you want, the days you can play, a time window and the number of players. Yoink checks those tee sheets every few minutes and sends a notification as soon as a matching time appears, cancellations included. You book it directly with the course.
When do tee time cancellations usually show up?
Mostly in the 24 to 48 hours before the tee time, as golfers cancel ahead of the course's cancellation deadline, and whenever the weather forecast changes. They appear without notice and tend to be rebooked quickly.
How far in advance can you book a tee time in Pittsburgh?
It depends on the course. Many public courses open bookings 7 to 14 days ahead, and town or county courses often give residents an earlier window. Each course's own booking page has its policy.
When is golf busiest in Pittsburgh?
Demand is highest on spring and fall weekends. Weekend mornings are always the hardest tee times to get.
Does Yoink book the tee time for me?
No. Yoink tells you when a time opens; you book it with the course on its own booking page, at the course's price, with no extra fee.
