Golf at the Mount Union American Legion Country Club is second to none. The 18-hole, 6521-yard, par-74 layout is a fairly straight golf course with a few doglegs and a lot of up-and-down from tees to greens. The first nine holes travel around the perimeter of the course, with woods and out-of-bounds along the way. The second nine holes wind their way around the interior of the course. The greens are relatively small, extremely fast and have a wavy motion to challenge the most experienced golfer.
The club hosts several annual tournaments including a Two-Ball Invitational that attracts golfers from throughout the eastern United States. The club has also played host to the State American Legion Tournament.
This mature course, built in 1924 as the Juniata Valley Colony Club, was later sold to the Simpson-Hunt Post of the American Legion. An Olympic-size swimming pool, pro shop, locker rooms and putting green compliment the facility. Golf cart rentals and greens fees are modest for a golf course of this size. A spacious dining room is available for parties, reunions and receptions.
To get to the Country Club, pay attention for signs to the ALCC and Kistler Borough. After you pass Kistler, keep going straight for about three miles to reach the golf course. Pro Shop: (814) 542-4343.
