WAYNESBOROUGH COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Paoli, PA, USA
Designed by George Fazio

Waynesborough Country Club sits in Paoli, Pennsylvania, in the western suburbs of Philadelphia, occupying rolling terrain characteristic of Chester County. George Fazio designed the course, which opened in the 1960s during a period when Fazio was establishing himself as an architect after his playing career. The layout reflects his preference for strategic design that rewards accurate shotmaking without relying on excessive length or artificial difficulty.
The course moves across varied topography with elevation changes that create natural interest in both shot selection and green approaches. Fazio routed the holes to take advantage of the property's wooded character and natural contours, incorporating mature trees that frame fairways and define playing corridors. The design emphasizes placement over power, with greens that require thoughtful approach angles and short game precision.
Waynesborough functions as a traditional private country club serving the Main Line community west of Philadelphia. The membership culture centers on golf and family recreation, typical of suburban clubs established during the post-war expansion of private golf in the region. The club provides a setting where members play regularly on a course that has matured over decades, with tree growth and conditioning evolution shaping the playing experience Fazio originally envisioned.
The course remains a fixture in the local golf landscape, offering a Fazio design that predates his later collaborations with his nephew Tom and represents his individual architectural approach during the formative years of his design practice.
