Hi-Level Golf Course

Hi-Level Golf Course Featured in Golf Business Magazine, Hi-Level is where golf is MORE fun! 3rd-generation family-owned. Celebrating 60 years in business in 2025.

Featured in Golf Business Magazine, a publication of the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA), Hi-Level Golf Course is a third-generation family-owned business located in rural Western Pennsylvania, and built on the former oil boom town of Fern City, Pennsylvania. After 60 years in continuous ownership by the Hess family, the course retains its historic charm and design, while keeping u

p with the newest golf innovations. Hi-Level is one of the few courses in Pennsylvania to feature Golf Boards and FlingGolf, and last year they offered the more fitness-oriented players a complete Soccer Golf Course. Hi-Level has been described as "laid-back," "well-maintained", "user-friendly", "the best greens in Eastern U.S.", and was the first public 18-hole golf course in Clarion County. The course was constructed on the site of Fern City, an oil boom town with a population of 600 in 1885. In 1954, Edward Hess, a prominent oil and gas producer, and the current owners’ grandfather, purchased several tracts of rugged land. His main reason for the purchase was to improve the land in order to explore possible remaining oil reserves. Although not a golfer himself, Hess wanted to find out if others would enjoy playing the game on the newly developed land. (And his doubting brother-in-law bet him $5 that he couldn't.) A postcard from Dexter Press in 1955 read, "HESS FARM, owned by a Hess since it was State Land. A flowing well was discovered in 1883. The land was not under cultivation for thirty years prior to purchase by Ed E. Hess, who in nine months has completely restored it to its original beauty and productivity."

We are so incredibly proud to share that Mindy and Trina have been recognized with the Folds of Honor Top Gun Award!

Named after fighter pilot culture and inspired by founder Lt. Col. Dan Rooney's own military service, this award honors partners who show elite dedication to fundraising and community impact.

But for us, this is about so much more than an award. It's a reflection of a mission we believe in deeply: providing educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America's fallen or disabled military heroes and first responders. 🇺🇸

Thank you, Mindy and Trina, and the entire Hi-Level community, for showing up for our military families. You are truly making a difference! ❤️🤍💙

We didn't have any butterflies ready last weekend for Roan to release in honor of his grandpa during the Ottos Tavrn Brion Schiberl Memorial Golf Scramble, but there were some ready today--Monarch eggs and caterpillars that were rescued, raised and released from our milkweed around the course. Fly high, Brion
