Whitemarsh Valley Country Club

In the late 1600's when William Penn granted land ownership, a defining moment in American history which involved the area called White Marsh, so named due to the morning whitish aura, the mists arising from the many springs and meandering Wissahickon Creek.

In 1777, General George Washington personally selected this suburban Philadelphia territory as a strategic campsite for the Continental Army.

Whitemarsh Valley Country Club was incorporated on April 6, 1908, by a group of former members of Mount Airy, which was forced to disband when the club was unable to get a satisfactory extension of its lease.

The bulk of the club’s land— its present property—was bought from George C. Thomas, Jr., over the next three years.
Progress forced the replacement of the original clubhouse, rebuilt 200 years later in 1969. The Clubhouse has undergone major renovations in the years 2000 and 2017.
