Whether you're a member or a guest, the goal for Chris McKnight, Head Golf Professional at Laurel Valley Golf Club, is always the same - deliver a positive and memorable experience.

And from the moment we set foot on this beautiful golf club located just south of the Pittsburgh suburb of Ligonier, PA, it was evident that Chris and his staff were always willing to go the extra mile to make everyone feel special.

As Chris shared with us, "I tell my staff that there’s nothing too small that you can’t do. We just want to lend a hand to ensure that everybody does have that great personalized service here."

That dedication extends throughout the attention to every detail and an effort to make genuine connections with all golfers.

“He cares. He cares about me as a member. He cares about his job. He cares about Laurel Valley. He’s the real deal,” added Craig Hereford a member at Laurel Valley.

It's this passion that sets the example for his team and truly makes a difference.

“To be excited everyday to come to work … it’s what it’s really all about.”

Thank you for all that you do, Chris, to make a difference in the great game of golf.
