Slippery Rock is on the southeast side of town bordering the north bank of Slippery Rock Creek on a large, natural tract of rolling, forested land adjoining Armco Park.

The course is straightforward overall as it's carved through the woods along isolated fairways with a host of uphill/downhill lies. There's only one pond in play and sand bunkers defending many of the generous greens and the occasional fairway landing zone. The course will play to a short, 6,098 yards off the tips, 70.2/124, course/slope ratings with three shorter tees, partially designed by Wynn Tredway.
