Hosted the 1962 PGA Championship (Gary Player's win), the 2020 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, and is set to host the men's PGA Championship again in 2026; a Ross design regarded as one of his finest inland courses.
This course is in our GSPro library — pull it up in any bay and play it wall to wall.
"Hosts men's and women's majors and has another PGA Championship on the calendar for 2026 — one of Ross's most respected non-Pinehurst designs."
Donald Ross built nearly 400 courses and called exactly one his masterpiece — this one, on rugged former farmland in Philadelphia's western suburbs, completed in 1928. The construction crew famously broke Ross's big single bunkers into clusters, tripling the count and giving Aronimink a busy, muscular look unusual for him. Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner's 2016-17 restoration leaned into that built reality, working from 1929 photos to bring back 200-plus bunkers and enlarge the greens 25 percent. It hosted the 2026 PGA Championship, the major's first visit since 1962.
Skilled players and Ross devotees. If you love Pinehurst No. 2 and want to see Ross with the volume turned up — bigger land, denser bunkering — this is the deep cut worth chasing an invite for.
The restored bunker clusters are the signature more than any one hole — Hanse rebuilt the 1929 course, not the blueprint, so nearly every green sits on a fill pad ringed by low, gnarled sand. The long par 3s are the round's toughest full-swing tests, and the closing stretch decided a major in 2026.
A championship examination: long, rolling, and defended by more than 200 bunkers and fall-off greens. Beginners would survive it about as well as they'd survive a US Open setup — admire it, don't learn on it.
Confirmed in GSPro — a community recreation by designer scotth67, and it got fresh attention as the 2026 PGA Championship venue. It plays long and bunker-riddled in the sim; a great major-venue night for our better players, and a fun 'play the PGA course' hook for everyone else.
Firmly private Philadelphia-Main-Line golf: you get on with a member, through select outside events, or by volunteering when a big championship comes to town. No public play.
