History of Chartiers Chartiers Country Club was founded in 1924 as the Chartiers Heights Country Club with 400 initial members, most of whom were former members of the Thornburg Country Club. The clubhouse was constructed in the style of the English Tudor Manor House, and has been enlarged twice. The name was changed in 1946 to the present Chartiers Country Club. The first renovation added Tudor Hall and the Locker Room facilities and converted the lounge and main dining rooms into the Grande Ball Room and Chartiers Room. The newly renovated dining rooms and bar opened on December 20, 1954. In 1987, former Manager (turned long time member) John J. “Jack” Carr oversaw a substantial renovation project; the kitchen with new floors and equipment, elevators added, the Locker Rooms were renovated, and the side porch facing the parking lot was lengthened by about 20 feet. In 1997 this Porch dining area was enclosed to provide year-round dining to the members. In 1996 and 1997 the pool house and terrace, which were originally constructed in 1956, were completely renovated and now represent one of the finest swimming facilities of any club in the area. The Club’s Grande Ball Room and adjacent Chartiers Room can accommodate events of up to 300 people, and because of the beautiful vista from the Grande Ball Room and Veranda, these venues are used extensively for weddings and other parties throughout the year. The club’s 18 hole golf course, laid out on over 300 acres just off Baldwin Road in Robinson Township, 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 black tees, 6,232 from the Blue tees, 5,821 from the white tees, and 5,195 from the green tees. Slope ratings are 131, 129, 127, and 125 respectively. The course has been renovated many times over the years- most notably in 2018 & 2020 when Golf Course Architect Hills-Forest-Smith, reconstructed greens 2,4,6,12 & 13 along with a major bunker renovation. These projects have transformed our soon to be 100 year old golf course to the standards that accommodate modern day golf, while keeping the classic architecture in tack. 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). Our Assistant Golf Professional Garett Powell joined us during the Fall of 2019 from Williams Country Club. Bob Davis, previously our golf course superintendent, now manages all operations in the capacity of COO/Director of Golf Course Operations. Herb Hyland is our Clubhouse Manager. He has been at Chartiers since 1999, and prior to that at Valley Brook Country Club. Debbie Curigliano is now our assistant Clubhouse Manager. She joined us in fall of 2018 after a successful run as owner of Picolina’s. With approximately 630 members, 210 of whom are Permanent Golf Members, Chartiers Country Club has one of the highest total memberships of any club in Western Pennsylvania. The membership is widely diverse with representation – both active and retired – from industry and the professions.
