History

The Susquehanna Valley Country Club was founded in 1909 as the Rolling Green Country Club. Ten years later, on July 12, 1919, the Club adopted its current name. At this time, ground was broken for the new clubhouse. The Club continued to expand and in 1950 added a swimming pool and nine-hole golf course. The back nine was then added in 1959. A larger, second swimming pool was constructed in the 1960s.

The Course

The current course was designed and laid out by William and David Gordon in 1955. The men's tees (white) span 5,994 yards with a rating of 70.0 and a slope of 126 while the blue tees span 6,261 yards with a rating of 71.2 and a slope of 126. Five holes feature water hazards.

The Clubhouse

The Clubhouse offers dining services for lunch and dinner with meals being prepared by a professional chef. Social events are also held in the Clubhouse, with facilities available for receptions and banquets.
