Frequently Asked Questions

How can a non-member play a round at Aronimink Golf Club?

Aronimink is a private club, so playing as a non-member typically requires an invitation from a current member. We recommend reaching out to your network; you might be surprised who has a connection. Alternatively, keep an eye out for charity events or corporate outings hosted there, as these sometimes offer public access.

What's the most challenging aspect of Aronimink's Tillinghast design?

You'll quickly discover that Aronimink's greens are its fiercest defense - they are large, undulating, and incredibly fast, demanding precise approach shots and a sharp short game. Don't be fooled by the wide fairways; misjudging your second shot will leave you with some truly tricky putts.

When is the best time of year to experience Aronimink's course conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) for the absolute best conditions. The weather is typically ideal, and the course turf is at its peak, offering firm, fast fairways and greens that truly showcase Tillinghast's genius.

What are some of the standout holes or unique features I should look forward to at Aronimink?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 8th, a beautiful downhill shot over water that demands precision, and the challenging par-4 10th, where a strong drive is crucial to set up an approach to a well-guarded green. The entire back nine truly shines, offering a fantastic variety of holes that will test every club in your bag.
