Chartiers Country Club was founded in 1924 as the Chartiers Heights Country Club. The name was changed in 1946 to the present Chartiers Country Club. The Club’s 18 hole golf course, laid out on over 300 acres just off Baldwin Road in Robinson Township. It was designed by Willie Park, twice British Open Champion, and one of the best known golf architects of the early 1900’s. The par 70 course measures 6,562 yards from the blue tees, 6,232 from the white tees, and 5,217 from the red tees. Slope ratings are 132, 128 and 118 respectively. The course has been renovated many times over the years – most notably in 1991 when golf course architect, Arthur Hills, added new tees and bunkers and reconfigured several holes for better playability. Over the course of his long career, Arthur Hills has designed more than one hundred fifty courses and overseen the renovation of another one hundred.

Two prominent golf professionals guided the golfing activities at Chartiers for over 43 years – Bobby Cruickshank from 1949 to 1967, and Stan Wiel from 1968 to 1992. Cruickshank, who was only 5’3” tall, was a well known professional in his time, having been the biggest money winner on the PGA tour in 1937. Wiel was also known and highly regarded in the Western Pennsylvania golfing community. The Club’s current Head Golf Professional, Joe Klinchock, was previously the Head Golf Professional at Green Oaks Country Club (Pittsburgh) and Key Biscayne Country Club (Florida).
