About this course
Militia Hill, at Philadelphia Cricket Club, represents a decided departure from the club's storied, turn-of-the-century St. Martins course, reflecting a modern sensibility within the confines of a deeply traditional institution. This relatively recent addition to the Philadelphia golf landscape, carved into the rolling hills of Flourtown, offers a stern test defined by its elevation changes and strategic bunkering. Its generous fairways belie the need for thoughtful approaches into well-protected greens, rewarding precision with scoring opportunities. The bentgrass fairways and greens are lush and maintained with great care. Designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, Militia Hill embraces a contemporary architectural style, a contrast to the classic designs typically associated with the Philadelphia Cricket Club. While the course hasn't hosted marquee professional events, it serves as a championship-caliber venue for club events and regional competitions, challenging players of all skill levels. It plays longer than you think due to the inclines. Militia Hill distinguishes itself further through its robust and engaged membership. The membership enjoys a lively playing calendar and a strong social community, and is considered as one of the most enjoyable courses to play in the Philadelphia region.

Getting there
The journey to Philadelphia Cricket Club begins at Philadelphia International Airport, a straightforward half-hour drive north into the leafy enclave of Flourtown. The route traces the Schuylkill Expressway before peeling off into Montgomery County's Main Line country, where stone walls and canopied lanes replace urban sprawl. As you climb gently toward Militia Hill, the landscape softens into rolling woodland and old estates, and the club's understated entrance appears with the quiet assurance of an institution that has occupied this ground since 1854.
