St. Martins (Philadelphia Cricket) at Philadelphia Cricket Club

The St. Martins course at Philadelphia Cricket Club in Flourtown represents one of the Philadelphia area's historic golf layouts, designed by William H. Tucker. Philadelphia Cricket Club, founded in 1854, stands as one of America's oldest country clubs and has maintained multiple courses over its long history. The St. Martins course reflects the club's commitment to traditional golf architecture and its place within the Philadelphia Main Line's established club culture.

Tucker's design works with the rolling terrain characteristic of Montgomery County's landscape, incorporating natural elevation changes and mature tree-lined corridors. The routing takes advantage of the property's topography to create variety in hole presentation and strategic interest. The course serves as one of two eighteen-hole layouts at the club, complementing the Wissahickon course and providing members with diverse playing options.

Philadelphia Cricket Club's broader institutional identity extends well beyond golf, encompassing cricket, squash, tennis, and other sports that reflect its nineteenth-century origins. The club has long been associated with Philadelphia's established families and maintains traditions rooted in its founding era. The St. Martins course fits within this context as a members' course designed for regular play rather than championship competition, offering a layout that rewards strategic thinking and course management over pure length. The setting in Flourtown, just northwest of Philadelphia proper, provides a suburban parkland character with mature landscaping that frames the holes.
