SVC Golf

The Latrobe Country Club will be home to the Men's Golf Team beginning Spring 2006.  The club was founded in 1920 by a group of leading industrialists, bankers and professionals from Latrobe, PA. This group had acquired 63 acres of the Kennan Farm bordering on what was then the National Lincoln Highway (U.S. Route 30) just west of Youngstown. By the summer of 1921 work was well underway on the golf course and clubhouse. Among those on the job was a teenager named Milford (Deacon/Deke) Palmer, Arnold's father. By the early 1960s sufficient land had been acquired to enable plans for an 18-hole course. Both Deacon and Arnold Palmer contributed heavily to the design of the new nine holes and the revamping of the existing holes to fit the layout. Construction began in 1963 and the new course opened for play the following season. The then 6,377 yard, par-72 course has matured into a beautiful and demanding test of golf.

"My dad was always a part of Latrobe Country Club, as a young man helping to build the course, and working there until he passed away," says Jerry Palmer. "It was always a dream for Arnie to buy the course some day. My parents, Arnie and my sisters were all such a part of this course. It was our lifeblood and has always been our home."
