Philadelphia Cricket Club

Private: A course for members and their invited guests only.

Est. 1854

Philadelphia Cricket Club is home to the highly-rated 18-hole Wissahickon and Militia Hill courses, both located in Flourtown. Four miles further south is the Club's St Martins course ( ... of US Open fame!). A small offshoot from the Wissahickon Creek runs through both the 18-hole Flourtown layouts, while the St Martins course, in its separate location, is still just a stone's throw from the Creek.

The "Tilly in Philly", as the Wissahickon course is often called, is the Club's No.1 course, laid out in two nine-hole loops. In 2016 it hosted a PGA Senior Tour major championship, and in 2025 a full PGA Tour event.

Lightly tree-lined and heavily bunkered, the course sits quietly in a pleasant leafy upmarket neighbourhood, with its sibling, the Militia Hill course (and separate clubhouse) directly next door.

Limited access: these private courses are generally playable only by members and their invited guests

Did you know?

Founded in 1854, The Philadelphia Cricket Club is one of the oldest sports clubs in America ... and, yes, along with its many other sports, the noble game of cricket is still played!

The club's original nine-hole golf course was built by course architect Willie Tucker in 1895, and expanded to a full 18 in 1897. The course, located in the Wissahickon Valley, is now known as St Martins ... it hosted the U.S. Open Championship in 1907 and 1910.

In 1920, the Club commissioned one of its own members, the renowned A.W. Tillinghast, to create a second course further up Wissahickon Creek in Flourtown. Now known as the Wissahickon course, this Tillinghast layout shows the great man's genius as a golf course architect. The Wissahickon opened for play in 1922.

The Club opened a second championship 18-hole course in 2002, designed by the highly accomplished team of Dr Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry. Adjacent to the Wissahickon course, Militia Hill's modernity complements its classic neighbour.
