Dedicated to the Pursuit of Happiness

Welcome to Philmont Country Club in Pennsylvania

In 1906, Mr. Ellis Gimbel and several of Philadelphia’s captains of commerce and industry came together to form a country club in Pennsylvania dedicated to golf, baseball, tennis, and the pursuit of happiness through social interaction. They built a fabulous golf course, a dozen tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a sprawling clubhouse. Through their efforts, they formed a family of friends that made Philmont a home away from home. We invite you to experience the best fruits of your labor and enjoy countless updates like any other country club near Huntingdon Valley. Come see what today's Philmont Country Club has to offer!
