A Course Rooted in History

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. Today, that century-old foundation is the starting point for a thoughtful new chapter.

New Ownership Takes the Helm

Carlisle Golf Group assumes the direction of the Club on April 1, 2025, beginning a new chapter focused on enhancing playability and the member experience while preserving the course’s legacy.

A New Architectural Partner

Carlisle Golf Group retains the well known architectural firm Fry Straka Global Golf Course Design to consult on ongoing renovations aimed at enhancing 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. The golf course is a wonderful parkland design with many golden age architectural features that we hope to enhance over time.” — Jason Straka, Partner, Fry Straka Global Golf Course Design

Irrigation Retrofit Nearing Completion

The course’s aging and fractured irrigation system has undergone a full retrofit to restore course conditions to the Club’s high standards — and that work is now nearing completion.

“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.” — Mark Toigo, Carlisle Golf Group

Looking Ahead

With the irrigation project nearly complete, the focus shifts to the next round of enhancements — continuing to improve playability while honoring the course’s golden-age character.

“Adding course enhancements will be fun for members and create a new challenge. It’s a beautiful, walkable course with stunning views.” — Mark Toigo, Carlisle Golf Group
