Johnstown Municipal Golf Course at Berkley Hills
A Legacy of Golf, Community & Tradition Since 1939
Some places are more than just a place to play. They're part of a community's story. Since 1939, Berkley Hills has been bringing golfers together in Johnstown, offering generations of residents a place to enjoy the game, make memories, and spend time outdoors.
Designed by noted golf course architect James G. Harrison, Berkley Hills is a nine-hole municipal golf course located in Upper Yoder Township. With relatively level terrain, a welcoming atmosphere, and a layout that offers something for golfers of all skill levels, it's a great place for a quick round, a friendly competition, or introducing someone new to the game.
Whether you're a longtime regular, a weekend golfer, or just picking up a set of clubs for the first time, there's a place for you at Berkley Hills.
A Little Course History
Opening its doors in 1939, Berkley Hills has been a part of Johnstown's recreational landscape for generations. It's seen countless rounds, friendly rivalries, memorable shots, and plenty of stories shared around the clubhouse.
Today, that tradition continues with a new chapter.
On October 1, 2026, the City of Johnstown officially assumed operations of the course, renewing its commitment to maintaining and improving this important community asset.
As part of that transition, the City welcomed the United States Golf Association (USGA) Course Consulting Service for an evaluation. The resulting report provided recommendations for improving course conditions, including greens, fairways, bunkers, trees, irrigation, and maintenance practices.
New equipment, golf carts, property cleanup, and improvements to the course are already part of the City's ongoing efforts. There's plenty of work ahead, but the goal is simple: make Berkley Hills a course our community can enjoy for generations to come.
