Former Philly resident now back in my native Scotland…
I’m visiting Philadelphia and the Midwest for my 40th September. I’d like to play Jeffersonville while I am over if anyone is interested. Likely dates in town will be 9/8-11 and 9/29-30.

I know this is absurdly far in advance, but wanted to see if there was any interest here. Going to try and get a post-work round at Jeffersonville on 5/20. Probably around 5:30ish if anyone cares to join. I’ll grab a 4-some and will adjust as needed.
I’m 95% sure I’m free to join in for 5/20!

Just an FYI for @Dangelor and anyone else who wants to join. For some reason Jeffersonville has no tee times for 5/20. I was up at 4 a.m. and then had 1 tee time at noon, so I assume they have an event that day. Going to call later to find out. Because of that, pivoted and got a 4 some at 5:40 on 5/20 at 5 Ponds Golf Club in Warminster. Anyone else care to join? Anyone ever play here? Thoughts on it? If Jeffersonville opens up tee times I will move back over there, but wanted to atleast get something.
Strike that. Ended up getting 5:40 at Jeffersonville. They must just release them later in the morning. Let me know if you care to join.
I’m in
Jeffersonville opens tee times 7 days in advance at 8:30am, just FYI. You might have been too early.

Flying out tomorrow to the Philly area for the first time for some work stuff. I’ll be in Newtown but any recommendations for Philly/ the area restaurants or things to check out?

If you’re limited to Newtown Oishi is pretty solid Sushi and is BYOB. Harvest and Solstice are good restaurants with seasonal offerings as well, nice seasonal cocktails and menu selections.
Looking for 10 more to come out and play with the Electric Phactory at Valleybook on Sunday at 9am
All are welcome! Just need to finalize by 9am tomorrow
Edit: Closing the signup to cancel the empty tee times

Looks like there are 8 playing. I’m available to play tomorrow but don’t really want to roll as a single. Anyone else interested??
So I totally forgot that it’s a holiday weekend and didn’t grab a tee time anywhere. If anyone has an open spot trying to fill out a group anywhere, give me a shout!

As of now, I’m off Friday and it looks like decent enough weather for the morning before storms roll in for the afternoon. I’d certainly be down.
Happy long weekend Electric crew! My wife and I will be staying in Philly next year for a month or two during the summer. Im already prepping my golf rota during our time there (because why the heck not). I have ran through a few threads to compile a working list of a few public spots that have been recommended in the past. Let me know if I’m missing any must see places, or if any on the list could be skipped. Some of the below are a little ways outside of the Philadelphia city limits, but coming from Chicago I don’t mind a little bit of a drive to hit some hidden gems.
On the list
Lulu Love CC
Jeffersonville GC
The Golf Course at Glen Mills
Paxon Hollow
Wyncote Golf
Galen Hall Golf Course
Cobbs Creek (if/when reopens)
Ballamor Golf
Makefield Highlands
Melrose Country Club
Raven’s Claw
Club At Shannondell
Makefield Highlands
Scotland Run
Broad Run Golfer’s Club
Pocono Manor Golf Course
Would be a dream to play
Schuylkill CC
Philly Cricket Club
Stonewall
Thanks in advance for the advice! Hope to meet some of you out on the course in the future.
Sláinte. (Shoutout Neil lol)

Shannondell can be skipped. It’s a fine value course, especially for a last minute tee time but nothing more.
Lederach, Turtle Creek, and Bella Vista all should be on that list IMHO.
