Huntingdon Valley
Huntingdon Valley Country Club: revered designer William S. Flynn is responsible for designing all 27 holes here at one of Pennsylvania's top-rated layouts.
The three nine-hole loops, Toomey, Flynn and Centennial, are at times tree-lined, at others more open, with the holes laid out on either side of a small stream known as Terwood Run (a tributary of Pennypack Creek, on which the village of Huntingdon Valley sits).
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.
Although there were a few golf courses in the USA before 1800, none survived. It was not until well after the Civil War (1861-65) that golf really took off in the United States. The oldest club still operating is the St Andrews GC, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY (1888).
Established in 1897, Huntingdon Valley was the first club in the Philadelphia area to be organized exclusively around golf. Some other clubs had introduced golf in 1896, but these were tennis and/or cricket clubs, that had extended their activities to include golf.
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
