The St. Martins course, located in Chestnut Hill, opened in 1895 and was designed by Willie Tucker. It hosted the U.S. Open Championship in 1907 (won by Alec Ross) and in 1910 (won by Alex Smith). Nine holes remain open today and the course has been recently renovated. To play St. Martins today is to go back in time and enjoy a parkland course, with cross bunkering and distinctive greens unlike those of the modern era. Famed architect and club member A. W. Tillinghast designed the original Flourtown course, which opened in 1920. “Wissahickon,” as it was named in 2002, is dedicated to A. W. Tillinghast and has always been known for its challenging greens, difficult par 4s, natural hazards and scenic views. In 2013, the course was painstakingly restored by Keith Foster. In addition to improving course conditions, the restoration resulted in a showcase of original and distinctive Tillinghast features. Wissahickon again highlights Tillinghast’s unique bunkering designs, his beautifully contoured greens, and irregularly shaped fairways, which include such features as the “Great Hazard.” Wissahickon has repeatedly hosted numerous state and local championships and has been named a “Top 100 Classic Course” multiple times. The design team of Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry designed the newest Philadelphia Cricket course, which opened in 2002. “Militia Hill” was named in honor of the surrounding parkland which commemorates George Washington’s last encampment before Valley Forge. The course is dedicated to Willie Anderson, a former Philadelphia Cricket Club professional who was one of only four men to win the U.S. Open four times. Militia Hill boasts one of the most photographed holes in Pennsylvania – the third hole – which concludes with a “risk-reward” shot over water on to a green framed by an old quarry. The course is also known for its beautiful surrounding vistas and natural features, such as an abandoned railroad tunnel that bisects the course and wetlands formed by the Lorraine Run. Militia Hill was nominated in 2003 as “Best New Course” and was almost immediately named a Top 25 golf course in Pennsylvania by Golf Digest. Join the conversation.

    Central Pennsylvania Golf Course Superintendents Association Volume 22 Issue 4 Founded ~ April 11, 1939 July 2015 Congratulations to Todd Bidlespacher, Mike Yelenosky and the entire Lancaster Country Club Grounds Staff on a spectacular U.S. Women's Open Tournament Pre-dawn hours key for Lancaster Country Club Groundskeepers Posted: July 8, 2015 7:01 pm Lancaster Online The riding mowers roared to life before dawn. With headlights knifing the darkness, a dozen set out Wednesday across Lancaster Country Club’s championship-level golf course. Every rough, fairway, approach, collar, green and tee box required a trim before the golfers arrived at 6:45 a.m. for their final practice rounds of the U.S. Women’s Open. Cutting the grass couldn’t wait for the sun. Nor could raking bunkers, rolling greens and hauling off grass trimmings. About 4:30 a.m., as a half moon slipped behind thickening clouds, Mike Yelenosky scooted off in a golf cart to check on the work. Burly, chatty and detail-oriented, Yelenosky is the golf course superintendent. It was the third day of the week-long tournament, and he seemed to be running on coffee and adrenaline. The best women golfers in the world were competing on the course he has fussed over for 10 years. “It’s definitely very exciting,” Yelenosky said. “But my No. 1 task is not to sit back and say, ‘Oh, we’re hosting the Open.’ My job is making sure my staff is doing the job.” Dedicated volunteers Yelenosky had his regular crew of 42 to supervise.

  • Joseph H. Patterson Cup
    2017 Joseph H. Patterson Cup Wilmington Country Club (South) Wilmington, Del. Aug. 7-8 2 Joseph H. Patterson Cup Course Information Par: 71 Founded: 1901 Architects: Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Website: www.wimlingtoncc.com History Golf came to Wilmington in 1895, when the Delaware Field Club, successor to the Delaware Cricket Club, built a nine-hole course near Elsmere. Six years later the Field Club, which also provided baseball, football, tennis, and cricket, evolved into the Wilmington Country Club. Stock was offered in the new organization at $25 a share, but no specific number of shares was required for membership. Annual dues were set at $25. The land for the new club, 129 acres, was situated on the south side of what was then known as the Kennett Turnpike and within a four-minute walk of the Rising Sun terminus of the Wilmington City Railway. William du Pont, Sr., owned most of this land, which today includes Wilcastle Center as well as a public golf course and the playing fields of nearby Tower Hill School. Another du Pont, Alfred, was among the club’s first directors. With the green committee providing a routing plan for the holes, 25 workers using eight horses cleared a wheat field and built the nine-hole course in the space of seven or eight weeks during the summer of 1901. Cost: $2,000. Much of the acreage was being reserved for growing income- producing wheat, but after the wheat was harvested, and the net from farming turned out to be quite modest, the board decided to forego that source of revenue and expand the course to 18 holes.
