Company Description

Park Hills Golf Club is excited to conduct their search for the role of Head Golf Professional.
The mission of Park Hills Golf Club is to provide a relaxing environment for our members and Guests, offering them exceptional social, recreational, and dining experiences.
The idea for a community-based club on the outskirts of Altoona first came to light in the early 1920's. The original idea called for the club to be built and turned over to the city of Altoona to be operated for the common good of the entire city.
With the Depression rolling across the country, a few staunch supporters of the club decided to build the golf course and maintain it for members and guests alike. This decision to continue forward by building and maintainirg the club and the course has allowed the facility to be a landmark in the Altoona area.
As one can imagine, the golf course has gone through several changes though the years and all of these changes have led us to our current layout and fine conditions
