The club will host competitions and offer practice time to the student-athletes at the Penn State branch free of charge. Established in 1908, Uniontown CC was reopened as a semi-private property under new management in 2018.
Uniontown (Pa.) Country Club has developed a partnership with the golf program at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus, in Lamont Furnace, Pa., to host competitions and offer practice time to student-athletes free of charge.
In September, Uniontown CC hosted the second-annual Penn State-Fayette Fall Golf Invitational, the first competition on the team’s new home course.
Established in 1908, Uniontown CC was reopened in 2018 as a semi-private property under the same management (Phoenix LLC) as the public Duck Hollow Golf Club in Uniontown, which hosted PSU-Fayette’s inaugural Invitational last year.

“Our golf program would not exist at such a high caliber without the generosity of the ownership and personnel at the Duck Hollow Golf Club and Uniontown Country Club,” said Lou Zadecky, Athletic Director at Penn State Fayette.
“This group has been supportive of our regional high schools, too, which promotes the game of golf in the community and provides Penn State Fayette with quality student-athletes,” added Dave Gumbert, Penn State Fayette’s head golf coach.
“We want to continue to strengthen our bond with Penn State Fayette,” said Paul Gabriel, Uniontown CC’s Director of Marketing. “We take care of every customer, and we’re proud to help our neighbors in the region.”
