The amazing story of a municipal golf course in Philadelphia. The lead designer was Hugh Wilson, designer of Merion, but he also had input from what came to be known as the “Philadelphia School,” of golf course designers. It included George Crump, George C. Thomas, Jr., A.W. Tillinghast, William Flynn, and Howard Toomey. As if that weren’t enough talent, William Fownes of Oakmont also lent a hand.
