“Merion Golf Club, Pennsylvania, USA is renowned for its rich history and unique traditions, most notably its iconic wicker baskets atop the pins instead of flags. The clubhouse began as an old farmhouse built in 1824. When the East Course opened in 1912, this former home was converted into the club’s primary building. The first tee is situated just inches away from the clubhouse porch, where members dine while golfers begin their rounds”.
Description
MERION GOLF CLUB, established in 1896, is located in Haverford Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The club was founded when members of the Merion Cricket Club opened a golf course in Haverford Township. In 1910 the membership decided to build a new course and chose 32 year old Hugh Wilson to design it. Merion East opened in September 1912 and the original course was closed. The West Course, also designed by Wilson, opened in May 1914. The Merion Golf Club did not then officially separate from the Merion Cricket Club until 1941. The Merion clubhouse is adorned with championship trophies and sits just a couple of paces from the first tee. continued..
