Aronimink
Aronimink Golf Club is home to one of the top-rated and finest championship golf courses in Pennsylvania. As you "step down" from the elevated first tee, the gently undulating and predominantly open parkland design opens-up a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and challenging holes.
This traditional and much lauded club took up residence at its present location in Newton Square in 1928. Here Scottish-born Donald Ross laid out a course that is one of his most revered. The Ross challenge is evident from the very first hole, which presents a sharp drop from the tee, followed by a gentle 250-yard climb to the green.
A sprinkling of water hazards are in play as you make your way round, though vastly outnumbered by the huge array of greenside and fairway-lining bunkers. Aronimink is definitely a course to be enjoyed, and one that lays down an absorbing challenge for professionals and amateurs alike.
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
Private club; visitors/guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Non-metal spike facility. Caddies available.
Excellent (including a double-ended driving range)
Aronimink has hosted many top-level tournaments and major championships including the US PGA (1962), US Amateur (1977), US Senior PGA (2003) and US Women's PGA (2020), as well as prestigious PGA Tour events (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Aronimink).
Aronimink Golf Club was originally formed by members of the Belmont Cricket Club, with a nine-hole course laid out at 52nd St and Chester Ave, much closer to Philadelphia city centre. In 1902 the golf club moved a short distance to 54th and Whitby St. As the city grew, the club relocated to Garretford in the Drexel Hill suburb in 1913. A final move came in 1926 out to the current location in Newtown Square.
Aronimink is said to be named after the chief of the Lenape native American tribe, who previously occupied the farmhouse that was used as the original clubhouse.
Pennsylvania's 3rd best course (Golf Digest, 2023/24).
USA's 95th best course (Golf Digest, 2023).
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
