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 Club hosted the United States Open Championships in 1907 and 1910. The 1907 winner was Alec Ross, brother of famed architect Donald Ross. The 1910 Open victory went to Alex Smith, who shot 71 on the final day. Today at St. Martin's, The Club provides facilities for tennis, squash, swimming and paddle tennis. At Flourtown, in addition to golf, a private shooting preserve is maintained. A comprehensive program in all sports is provided for members.
