  • The Philadelphia Cricket Club is the oldest cricket club in the US city of Philadelphia, and one of the oldest country clubs in the nation. It was founded in 1854 by a group of English expatriates while studying in the University of Pennsylvania. It was one of the founding members of the United States Tennis Association (USTA), holding the women's singles championship (today the U.S. Open) for many years, and its original golf course was the site of two U.S. Open golf championships. Flourtown Location There are 2 18 hole course located here and 1 main club house. Course A An additional tract of land in Flourtown was bought in 1920. In 1922, a new course designed by A. W. Tillinghast was opened. It is known today as the Wissahickon course, and has hosted several local tournaments. Course B The Militia Hill course was opened in 2002, also at the Flourtown site. It was built on an old Revolutionary War encampment, and was designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry. The Flourtown complex is complete with a driving range (also used by the trapshooters in the fall), practice chipping area, and putting green.
