This course, now called Berkley Hills, is owned by the city of Johnstown but has the layout of a 9-hole country club. The landing areas are generally level (a rarity in Western PA), with tree-lined fairways and an interesting variety of holes. The condition is not great, but ok and doesn't mar the playability of the course. I don't live too close to Johnstown, but if I get another opportunity, I'll play there again.
