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). A private club, exclusively for the use of members and their invited guests.
Private club - 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.
