About this course
Moccasin Run, carved from the rolling farmlands of Chester County, Pennsylvania, whispers of a time when golf was a rustic pursuit, valuing strategy over sheer power. The course, primarily designed by Edmund Ault, meanders through a gently undulating landscape, a softened parkland style that favors thoughtful shot-making. Mature trees frame the fairways, adding to both the beauty and the challenge of navigating its subtly dog-legged holes and deceptively wide fairways that belie their guarded greens. Though not a stage for major championships, Moccasin Run holds a unique place in the local golfing landscape. It stands as a testament to accessible, enjoyable golf, a place where the spirit of the game thrives without pretense. Generations of golfers in the Atglen area have cut their teeth on its forgiving yet demanding layout. The club's welcoming atmosphere and active member leagues foster a strong sense of community. Post-round gatherings often revolve around the clubhouse grill, where stories of near misses and triumphant putts are shared with equal enthusiasm. Moccasin Run embodies the simple pleasures of the game, a reminder that golf is best enjoyed with good company and a relaxed pace.

Getting there
Moccasin Run Golf Course sits in the rolling farmland of Chester County, Pennsylvania, roughly ninety minutes west of Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), making it an accessible retreat for East Coast travelers seeking refuge in the quieter reaches of the Mid-Atlantic countryside. The drive from PHL traces a gentle arc through the Pennsylvania landscape, trading the urban periphery for open fields and tree-lined rural roads as you approach Atglen, where the course emerges amid the region's characteristic patchwork of preserved farmland and wooded terrain. For those departing from nearby Brandywine Airport or the smaller strips serving the Philadelphia region, the journey compresses to mere minutes, allowing a swift transition from tarmac to fairway. The final miles unfold through quintessential Chester County scenery - a landscape of stone walls, split-rail fencing, and the undulating topography that defines this corner of Pennsylvania's horse country - before arriving at Moccasin Run's welcoming gates.
