Special Club Features
Merion Golf Club is a private golf club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, established in 1896 and is home to two golf courses. The historic East Course and a family-friendly West Course. Since 1912, Championship golf and champion golfers have long been intertwined with the mystique of Merion Golf Club’s East Course. Both courses were designed by Hugh Wilson; however, Merion’s East Course has played host to more USGA Championships than any course in America and is home to some of its greatest moments. From Robert Tyre Jones, Jr.'s completion of golf’s elusive Grand Slam at the 1930 U.S. Amateur to Ben Hogan’s awe-inspiring performance and now legendary one-iron on the 72nd hole during the 1950 U.S. Open, the sculpted greens, fairways and treacherous bunkers of Merion have shaped the game. In the past decade, serving as the host of the 2013 U.S. Open and the 2022 Curtis Cup, Merion continues to not only challenge the world’s best, but identify them as well.
Merion Golf Club has proudly hosted 19 USGA Championships and is the future site of the 2026 U.S. Amateur, 2030 U.S. Open, 2034 U.S. Women's Open, 2046 U.S. Women's Open, and the 2050 U.S. Open. Today the Club continues to serve its membership in much the same fashion honoring the game and its traditions while hosting its members in the historic Clubhouse.
Although Merion is most well-known for its golf courses and historic Clubhouse, the Club staff takes pride in providing excellence in all aspects of Club operations for Merion’s 1,000-plus member and their guests.
Merion Golf Club is open daily for operation of golf in season (April – November). Club dining is open six days per week year-round, closed Monday with many special events offered seasonally. The Club is open on all holidays in season except for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.
