One of Philly’s Finest
Philadelphia can credibly claim the title of “Best Golf City in America,” and for the second year running, Premium members are invited inside the gates at one of its very best. Aronimink’s pedigree is second to none—the club partnered with Merion, Philly Cricket and Philadelphia Country Club to create the Golf Association of Philadelphia, the nation’s first sectional golf association. Nearly a century on from Donald Ross’s 1928 redesign of the club, Gil Hanse restored Aronimink to its roots, and with the 2026 PGA Championship on the horizon, there has never been a better time to visit.
