Like many Western Pennsylvania courses, it has a rolling terrain. Ross, however, designed the holes to limit sidehill lies. Edgewood has fast greens, typical of Ross courses, regularly running about 12 feet on the stimpmeter. The golf course has no creeks, lakes, or other water hazards. Its predominant features are the challenging greens and dangerous sand bunkers. The course is played as Donald Ross originally designed it after a restoration during the club's 100th anniversary.
The course has blue championship tees, white men's/amateur women tees, red women's tees, and golden senior's tees. The table below shows par and yardage for each of hole and the rating and slope for each tee:
