The Aronomink golf course in Newtown Square made a top 100 list for US golf course put together by Golf Magazine.
Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, set to host the 2026 PGA Championship, has made a list of the top 100 golf courses in the US by Golf Magazine, writes Max Bennett for Patch.
The golf course emerged at No. 84 on the list. Last year, it came in at No. 81.
The course at Aronimink was designed by Scottish professional golfer Donald Ross. It opened in 1928. Ross’ design was altered over time but a “patient restoration” over 20 years at the golf club has returned it to his vision.
“Donald Ross always thought Aronimink would be his masterpiece,” Golf Magazine wrote. “Over the years, a who’s who of great architects gently tweaked this suburban Philly classic, and while the course never lost its greatness, bits of Ross’s genius were slowly chipped away.”
The most recent restoration efforts were led by Gil Hanse.
“Today, the famous Tudor clubhouse overlooks a course with larger greens and more treacherous bunkers that is once again the ‘supreme test’ Ross intended,” the magazine wrote.
Aronimink has hosted numerous professional and amateur golf championships, including the 1962 PGA Championship, the 2023 Senior PGA Championship, and the 2020 Women’s PGA Championship.
