About this course

Whitford Country Club sits in Exton, Pennsylvania, in the Chester County landscape west of Philadelphia. The course was designed by Bill Gordon, David Gordon, and Ferdinand Garbin, representing a collaborative effort that shaped the routing across rolling terrain characteristic of the region. The property features the mix of elevation change and wooded corridors common to southeastern Pennsylvania courses, with holes moving through mature tree lines and across natural contours that define strategy and shot values. The design takes advantage of the site's topography to create variety in hole character and playing angles. Fairways typically follow the land's movement rather than impose artificial shaping, and greens are positioned to reward accurate approach play while presenting recovery challenges for missed shots. The course serves a private membership and functions as the centerpiece of the club's recreational and social activities, hosting member competitions and club events throughout the season. Whitford Country Club operates within the tradition of suburban Philadelphia golf clubs, where the course anchors a broader community focused on family participation and year-round club life. The facility includes practice areas and dining amenities that support both competitive play and casual rounds. The course remains a fixture in the Exton area, maintaining its role as a private club venue shaped by its original design team's approach to the natural landscape.

Getting there

Whitford Country Club sits just beyond the western suburbs of Philadelphia, most readily accessed via Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), roughly forty minutes south by car through the rolling Chester County landscape. The drive north from PHL carries you through the gradual transition from urban periphery into the verdant horse country of southeastern Pennsylvania, where manicured estates and stone farmhouses signal your arrival in one of the region's most established golfing enclaves. For those with access to private aviation, Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE) offers a closer alternative, cutting the ground journey to mere minutes. The final miles wind through quiet country roads lined with mature oaks and split-rail fencing, delivering you to Whitford's understated entrance - a fitting approach to a club whose understated elegance has anchored this corner of Pennsylvania for generations.
