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.
