Latrobe Country Club's current design was heavily influenced by both Deke and Arnold Palmer. The course has matured into a beautiful and demanding test of golf, thanks primarily to the diligence and constant care of Deke Palmer, second son Jerry, current superintendent Martin Repko and their experienced grounds crews and the planting of many thousands of pines and other trees over the years on the club's 110 acres. The progress of course improvement along with other modernization and expansion of the club's physical plant, was accelerated following Arnold Palmer's purchase of the club in September of 1971. The course and structures on the grounds have been constantly upgraded with many of the holes revised, a modern automatic irrigation system installed, permanent cart paths constructed and a practice range created. |
