Fall can be an excellent time to fit more golf into your schedule, especially if you have the flexibility to play during the week. Cooler temperatures, changing scenery, and fall rates can make October a practical time to plan a round or an overnight golf trip in Western Pennsylvania.
Beginning October 5, 2026, Spring Valley Golf & Lodge in Mercer, PA, will introduce its fall golf rates for both weekday and weekend play.
For golfers looking to make the most of the season, the weekday rates provide an affordable opportunity to play either nine or 18 holes with a cart. And because Spring Valley also offers lodging directly on the property, golfers traveling to Mercer can turn a midweek round into a relaxed overnight or multi-day visit.
Spring Valley’s Fall 2026 rates begin October 5, 2026.
For golfers with flexible schedules, these weekday golf rates make it easier to plan an October round without committing an entire weekend to the trip.
Whether you want to play nine holes in the morning, schedule an 18-hole round with friends, or stay overnight and play again the following day, fall offers several ways to build a trip around the amount of golf you want to play.
Weekend golf works well for many players, but a weekday round can be a practical alternative for retirees, remote workers, business owners, travelers, couples, and groups with flexible schedules.
At Spring Valley Golf & Lodge, golfers can choose between nine and 18 holes, giving them additional flexibility when planning a fall visit.
Not every golf trip needs to take up an entire Saturday or Sunday.
A weekday round can work well for golfers taking a personal day, planning a short trip to Mercer County, meeting friends during the week, or simply looking for another opportunity to get outside before the golf season winds down.
The $20 weekday nine-hole rate with cart is especially useful when you want to play but do not have time for a full round.
For those who have more time available, 18 weekday holes with a cart are $30 beginning October 5.
Spring Valley is more than a place to stop for a few hours of golf. The property combines an 18-hole public golf course with on-site lodging in Mercer, Pennsylvania.
That combination can be useful for golfers traveling from outside the immediate Mercer area.
Instead of driving home immediately after finishing 18 holes, you can stay on the property and organize your visit around golf, meals, time with your group, and another round if your schedule allows.
Spring Valley Golf & Lodge operates an 18-hole public golf course in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The course is set among rolling farm country and includes varied terrain, tree-lined fairways, and spring-fed ponds.
Those characteristics give golfers different situations to manage throughout a round rather than asking them to play the same type of hole repeatedly.
For fall golfers, the setting also provides a distinctly Western Pennsylvania backdrop for an October round.
Players can choose nine holes when time is limited or schedule a full 18-hole round when they want to spend more of the day on the course.
One practical difference between Spring Valley and a golf course that only offers daily play is the availability of lodging on the property.
Spring Valley offers several lodging configurations for golfers and groups, including The Lodge, Eagle’s Nest, and the Farmhouse.
Having golf and accommodations at the same location simplifies a fall trip. Once you arrive, you can focus more of your time on the course and with the people you traveled with rather than repeatedly driving between a hotel and the golf course.
It can work particularly well for:
Lodging availability, rates, and arrangements can vary, so golfers planning an overnight visit should contact Spring Valley directly when making their plans.
Different golf trips call for different accommodations. Spring Valley provides multiple on-site lodging options rather than a single type of room.
The Lodge provides private rooms along with common areas that groups can use to gather. According to Spring Valley, rooms include two beds, a private bathroom, and air conditioning. The rooms are arranged around a shared common area where guests can spend time together after golf.
This setup can work well for golf groups whose members want their own rooms while still having a central place to socialize.
For smaller golf groups, Eagle’s Nest is another option. Located on the upper level of the clubhouse with its own entrance, Eagle’s Nest is designed for groups of eight or fewer and includes four rooms along with an area for guests to gather.
A smaller accommodation can make sense for friends or family members who want to turn a round of golf into an overnight visit without organizing a larger group trip.
The Farmhouse offers another format for groups. This restored Farmhouse accommodates up to 12 guests and includes six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a full kitchen. It is located about 100 yards from the clubhouse and overlooks the first fairway.
For groups that prefer a house-style lodging arrangement with shared living areas, the Farmhouse provides a way to stay together while remaining close to the course.
A fall golf trip does not need a complicated itinerary. One advantage of staying where you play is that you can keep the schedule relatively simple.
For example, golfers could arrive in Mercer, play nine or 18 holes, spend the evening on the property, and then play another round before heading home the next day.
If you are organizing a group, start by deciding how much golf everyone wants to play.
A nine-hole weekday round for $20 with a cart may be enough for a shorter visit. Groups looking for more time on the course can choose 18 holes with a cart for $30 on weekdays.
Next, determine whether your group needs overnight accommodations. The number of people traveling together can help determine whether The Lodge, Eagle’s Nest, or the Farmhouse is the most appropriate lodging option.
Finally, contact Spring Valley ahead of your visit to confirm golf and lodging availability for your preferred dates.
You do not need to organize a large golf outing to take advantage of weekday golf.
Fall weekday rounds can make sense for several types of players.
Retirees and golfers with flexible schedules can use weekdays to fit additional rounds into the season. Couples can incorporate golf into an overnight visit to Mercer. Friends can plan a one-night trip rather than coordinating a full weekend. Business owners and professionals with flexible work arrangements may also be able to schedule a round during the week.
For golfers traveling through Western Pennsylvania, an on-site stay can also turn Mercer into an overnight golf stop rather than a same-day trip.
The key is flexibility. With nine-hole and 18-hole options available, you can plan the visit around your schedule instead of designing your entire schedule around one round.
The arrival of October does not necessarily mean golf season has to end.
