As the name indicates, the Club was formed by a group of young men of English descent who had played the game while students at the University of Pennsylvania. With the wish to continue to play together after their graduation, they formed the Club under the leadership of William Roach Wistar. While playing cricket on any grounds available for the first 30 years of the club’s existence, in 1883, The Club "came home" to Chestnut Hill through the generosity of a benefactor, Henry H. Houston. Houston arranged for them to settle down at The Club's present location on West Willow Grove Avenue in the St. Martin's section of Chestnut Hill. The original nine-hole course was built in 1895 and was quickly replaced by a new eighteen-hole course in 1897. When the Golf Association of Philadelphia was organized in 1897, The Club was one of four founding members alongside Aronimink Golf Club, Merion Cricket Club, and Philadelphia Country Club.

The PGA Tour purses were rapidly increasing and most of the tournaments were televised. There were concerns that there was too much golf being shown on TV. Playing the PGA Tour was a distant thought for most club pros. People were retiring earlier and more women were taking up the game so the rounds of golf were in- creasing each year. Senior golf was becoming very popular and the Phila- delphia Section was in on another first, as the Atlantic City Country Club would host the first official tournament of the new Senior PGA Tour.

  • 2019 BMW Championship Economic Impact Report Medinah Country Club Dupage County, IL the Tourism Sector of the Economy of Dupage County, Illinois, Is Powerful
    2019 BMW Championship Economic Impact Report Medinah Country Club DuPage County, IL The tourism sector of the economy of DuPage County, Illinois, is powerful. For nearly 100 years, DuPage has regularly played host to nationally recognized events and championships across many disciplines of sport. This tradition, supported by numerous positive destination tourism attributes and the second-largest base of hotel inventory outside of the Central Business District of Chicago, contributed to DuPage attracting $2 .72 billion in visitor travel expenditures in 2018. Over the last five years, increases in key performance indicators – spending, tax revenue, and jobs – represent a savings of approximately $1,300 per year in taxes for the average DuPage County household, according to the Illinois Office of Tourism. In May of 2019, the DuPage Sports Commission was founded to harness the power of spo rts tourism on behalf of the county’s 38 communities and nearly one million residents.
