Item Description
Latrobe Country Club was the home to one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game—Arnold Palmer. The golf legend learned his values and the game of golf here as a child. His father, Milfred (Deacon) Palmer, who served as superintendent and later head golf professional, first showed him how to grip a club on this property. It was a lesson, and a place he would cherish for the rest of his life.
When Arnold was a boy, the family lived in a home beside the course's present fifth tee. He worked for his father on the course and in the golf shop, becoming proficient in all phases of golf. He stole whatever time he could to practice and play the game. By the time he was a teenager, he had become, first, the community's and, shortly thereafter, Western Pennsylvania's finest player.
Mr. Palmer’s heart was always in Latrobe, so following his professional success which included many awards and honors, along with 92 professional golf titles, he purchased the club in 1971— perhaps one of the most important business deals from his own personal standpoint. He lived here, worked here, and spent many of his days entertaining his family and friends here.
The Palmer family’s signature is found everywhere you look. Nine of the holes were designed by Deacon and Arnold. Memorabilia from the life of Mr. Palmer adorn the walls of the clubhouse. Awards, recognitions, iconic photographs and tournament hardware are found at every turn.
This package includes a round of golf and carts for four players. It also includes a tour of the memorabilia-filled clubhouse, by a member or employee of the club. Date and time will be mutually agreed upon by the Latrobe CC pro shop and the auction winner. The round of golf can be played in 2023 or 2024.
