Featured in Golf Business Magazine, a publication of the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA), Hi-Level Golf Course is a third-generation family business located in rural Western Pennsylvania. After 55 years in continuous ownership by the Hess family, the course retains its historic charm and design, while keeping up with the newest golf innovations. Hi-Level introduced Golf Boards for rent, and also offers the more fitness-oriented players a complete Soccer Golf Course. Described as "laid-back," "well-maintained", "user-friendly", "the best greens in Eastern U.S.", Hi-Level 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.
