The Golf Course at Carlisle Country Club
The Carlisle Country Club golf course is a classic traditional design opening in 1924. The original plans remain a mystery, but some records indicate that W.H. “Pipes” Follet was the architect of the original nine holes. With the new ownership, Carlisle Golf Group, assuming the direction of the club on April 1, 2025, they have retained the well known architectural firm, Fry Straka Global Golf Course Design to consult on ongoing renovations, which aim to enhance the overall playability and member experience while preserving the club’s legacy. “We are very excited to be back in central PA and working with Carlisle Country Club to help them navigate these course enhancements over time,” said Jason Straka, Partner at Fry Straka Global Golf Course Design. “The golf course is a wonderful parkland design with many golden age architectural features that we hope to enhance over time.” The golf course will also be undergoing an immediate irrigation system renovation. “First and foremost, the somewhat antiquated and fractured irrigation system will require a full retrofit to restore the course conditions to the club’s high standards,” stated Mark Toigo, one of the Carlisle Golf Group partners. “Adding course enhancements will be fun for members and create a new challenge. It’s a beautiful, walkable course with stunning views.”
