About this course

Cedarbrook Country Club sits in Blue Bell, a suburban community in Montgomery County northwest of Philadelphia. The course was originally designed by William F. Mitchell, a regional architect active in the mid-twentieth century who created layouts throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Dan Schlegel, a Pennsylvania-based architect known for his restoration and renovation work, later contributed updates to the design, helping to modernize the course while respecting its traditional character. The property occupies rolling terrain typical of southeastern Pennsylvania, with mature tree-lined fairways and elevation changes that add strategic interest to the routing. The layout moves through wooded corridors and more open stretches, requiring players to navigate both tight driving zones and approach shots to elevated or contoured greens. Water features and bunkers positioned at key decision points reinforce the need for accurate shotmaking. Cedarbrook functions as a private club serving the local community, offering a traditional country club experience with golf as the central amenity. The club maintains a family-oriented membership culture common to suburban Philadelphia clubs, with facilities that support social and recreational activities beyond the course itself. The setting provides a retreat from the surrounding development, with the tree canopy and natural landscape creating a sense of separation despite the proximity to residential areas. The course reflects the evolution of many regional designs from the mid-century period—layouts that have been refined over decades to meet contemporary standards while preserving their original strategic bones and parkland character.

Getting there

Cedarbrook Country Club sits just thirty minutes northwest of Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), accessible via a straightforward drive through the rolling suburbs of Montgomery County that gradually transitions from urban periphery into the leafy, established neighborhoods of Blue Bell. For those arriving by private aircraft, Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE) offers a considerably closer alternative, positioning visitors mere minutes from the club's manicured grounds. The final approach winds through tree-lined residential streets that speak to the quiet, understated elegance of this corner of the Philadelphia Main Line - a landscape where old money and older oaks have long coexisted in discreet harmony, setting the tone for arrival at one of the region's most respected private clubs.
