Comments:

Founded in 1890, The Apawamis Club is the 6th-oldest private club in the United States and steeped in history. The Club remains on the forefront with world class facilities and an active and family oriented membership. The golf course combines quirky architectural character with an old school aesthetic – reminiscent of the early days of golf.

Apawamis provides a unique opportunity that includes sitting in on and contributing to all planning meetings, further education opportunities, the chance to participate in a weeklong exchange program with Oakmont Country Club and participation in a Poa Annua research trial, in collaboration with Penn State.
