To prepare for the BMW Championship, Aronimink – often cited for its difficulty and beauty – has restored the course to ’ original 1928 American parkland design. The restoration included increasing the number of bunkers from 75 to 176 and restoring greens and fairways throughout the property.

“The entire membership of Aronimink is pleased to host yet another world-class golf event at our club,” said Joe Fabrizio, Aronimink Golf Club president. “I am confident that fans will long remember witnessing first-hand the restoration of our golf course, the first-class amenities and what promises to be an incredible week of golf.”

Other past BMW Championship winners vying to again claim the event’s historic J.K. Wadley Trophy include Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, and Zach Johnson. Reigning FedExCup champion Justin Thomas and major championship winners Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Francesco Molinari also are slated to compete in September at Aronimink.

Proceeds from the 2018 BMW Championship will be used to fund Platt Evans Scholarships for caddies attending Penn State University and to establish a scholarship house at Penn State-University Park, where scholarship recipients will live together. Since 2007, the BMW Championship has raised more than $27 million to fund college scholarships for caddies of modest means.

“The FedExCup Playoffs always produce a world-class field for the BMW Championship, but Tiger’s return to form makes this an especially exciting year for our event,” said Vince Pellegrino, senior vice president of tournaments for the Western Golf Association, which conducts the championship. “We’re thrilled that Philadelphia-area golf fans will have the opportunity to see Tiger compete alongside Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and the game’s other superstars next month at Aronimink.”

The Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board (VFTCB) is proud to partner with the BMW Championship, especially since the headquarter hotel for the event is the Philadelphia Marriott West in Conshohocken.

611 for the average person to play,” said Raven’s Claw Course Architect Ed Shearon of Shearon Golf. “My design is made to challenge the championship player with tough angles and hazards, but also give the higher player the ability to navigate the course. But to make , the championship- style player will need to know the strategic way to attack this course.”

With bent grass tees, greens and fairways, this championship course was built with a strategic design in which every shot on the course is associated with a hazard. Players able to navigate the obstacle will get a major reward with a shorter distance to the pin, a better view, or a better shot angle. However, those who overestimate and challenge the hazard unsuccessfully will find themselves most likely in a position behind the course’s conservative players.

“The three holes players must navigate successfully are 9, 10 and 11… that’s our little Amen Corner,” said Shearon, referencing Augusta National’s Amen Corner. This three-hole stretch is one of the most hallowed places in all of golf where pros fear it, fans adore it, and it never fails to deliver drama.

Golfers from across the world travel to Raven’s Claw to experience what Shearon references as a “symphony-like essence” the course offers with excitement and tempo.
