About Philadelphia Cricket Club - Wissahickon Course

The Wissahickon Course at Philadelphia Cricket Club stands as a testament to classic golf course architecture, designed by the legendary A.W. Tillinghast. Opened in 1922, this private course is consistently ranked among the top courses in Pennsylvania and the nation. Tillinghast's genius is evident in its strategic bunkering, challenging green complexes, and seamless integration with the natural topography of the Wissahickon Valley.

Playing the Wissahickon Course is a journey through golf history. Tillinghast's design philosophy emphasized natural hazards and a variety of shot values, demanding both precision and thoughtful strategy from golfers of all skill levels. The course has hosted numerous prestigious events, including the PGA Championship and the U.S. Amateur, underscoring its championship pedigree and enduring challenge.

Recent restoration efforts by Keith Foster have meticulously brought Tillinghast's original vision back to life, enhancing the course's strategic depth and aesthetic appeal. Golfers will experience a timeless design characterized by bold features, dramatic elevation changes, and impeccably maintained playing conditions. It's a true architectural masterpiece that offers a profound and memorable golf experience.
