I'm going to Philadelphia for about a week at the end of June.  Anyone know a good course to play?

Excellent!  Thanks a bunch!  That will do nicely.  I have 5 days to kill. (wife is doing a conference).  Maybe I can hit a new course each day....

If there are GolfSpies in Philly, they don't wanna play with me.... :(

 

That's OK tho.  I just love to play.

In Philly would play at Glenn Mills hands down. You could head half an hour south into Delaware and play White Clay Creek at Delaware Park as that would be choice #2. Big issue with Philly is that there are a lot of great courses but they are private. You could also look at Golf Now and see if there are any private places that are allowing you to get out. Any questions you can PM me and I can help. Lived in Philly for almost 20 years and played just about every course in the area public or private.

There's an interesting track somewhere near Philly called The golf course at Glen Mills. It's not the most spectacular course... but the story behind it is incredible. They take kids who were convicted of a crime and put them to work on the golf course in lieu of jail time. The cases according to the person who worked at the club ranged from theft to manslaughter/murder (again this may or may not be 100 percent true.)  The idea is to reform the kids and show them what the other side of the tracks look like as well as providing them a skill. 

 

It's not a bad course either IIRC, very hilly. It's also the site of one of my best golf moments, hitting a 200 yard shot up a hill only for it to roll back down to the tee via cart path.

It is Glen Mils PA about 35 minutes outside of the city. The story is a good one, course is always in spectacular shape and yes it is indeed hilly. Here is the site for the course:

Thanks. I remember the hilly part being fun and annoying. One particular hole on the side of a hill/mountain was truly a great little hole that I took a few seconds to really take in.

Glen Mills was fun. Hilly is an understatement. Poor ball striking day though. Started hitting all my irons over the greens today :-(

Glad you enjoyed it. I had a blast there and it goes to a good cause.

Riverwinds has gone a bit downhill over the years but starting to come back now that Jaworski is involved.

I played there 4-5 years ago and totally forgot about it. Had a buddy down there and we tried playing by him, then a round by me, then a round in between. we played when it was near freezing... all I remember was hte greens were huge and I couldn't put to save my life.
