GREENSBURG, PA — The Captains Club continues its search for the host course for the 2023 Carl Spackler Open. The scenic Totteridge Golf Club was contacted and visited in 2022, but removed again due to their lack of interest.

“Totteridge is another golf course that would fit into the Carl Spackler Open portfolio,” said Chairman of the Captains Club Greg Long. “It has everything we want in a proposal except large clubhouse and some interest in our event. We will continue to keep Totteridge on our radar for years to come.”

With the grandeur of our countryside, Totteridge does offer the best panoramic views in Western Pennsylvania. Rees Jones and Tom Tanto built Totteridge Golf Course.

Jones succeeded in fulfilling his design commitment totally. As his first endeavor in western PA, the 18-hole, links-style layout takes full advantage of the rolling hills and breathtaking vistas. Elevated tee boxes, natural fairway mounding, selective bunkering, and fast greens provide an enjoyable challenge. Totteridge may be best remembered for great golf and its open, links style golf in gently rolling hills and vistas.

“The layout and conditions at Totterridge are vastly underrated,” says Long. “It is fantastic hidden gem and a golf course that should be shared using our event.”

The 2023 Carl Spackler Open does not have a date nor a location. The date is based on golf course selection. The practice round will likely be held on April 12, June 22, or July 12. The Captains Club continues to look for proposals, but will hold its first press conference in October to announce the date. Boulder Creek in Ohio remains the single golf course with availability.
