Est. 1919 · Donald Ross (with later revisions by William Flynn and Perry Maxwell)
Why we love this place
We love a course that wears its history in layers, and Gulph Mills is exactly that: Ross bones, Flynn greens, a dash of Maxwell, all rolling through Pennsylvania countryside. Point your compass here and you are playing a living conversation between a century of great architects.

About Gulph Mills Golf Course
Gulph Mills Golf Club traces its origins to a June 1916 organizational meeting, with Donald Ross's championship layout opening for play in May 1919 in what is today King of Prussia, Pennsylvania (not New Jersey, despite some directory listings). Ross reportedly regarded the finished course among the finest links he had built, though the project famously ran well over its original budget. The parkland design has since been refined by several notable hands: William Flynn rebuilt all eighteen greens in 1924, and Perry Maxwell reworked roughly seven holes during the 1930s. The result is a layered, rolling course that reflects a century of thoughtful stewardship rather than a single frozen vision. It remains a private club and one of the Philadelphia region's respected classic tests.
