Best Philadelphia Set of Par 4s

Exactly where you don’t want to be after your approach on the all world 16th at Merion.

Favorite Par 4s

Merion probably had the best collection of par 4s I’ve ever played. It had such a good variety between short/strategic, and long/challenging it kept the round really interesting.

Favorite Par 5s

It’s worth noting that we didn’t play a single par 72 course, so there were fewer par 5s to choose from, as compared to your typical golf trip.

By the Numbers

So that’s it in a nutshell! That was our Philadelphia golf trip, and what a trip it was.

Where did Gil Hanse start?

It’s always fun to see an architect’s first design. Gil Hanse got his start at Inniscrone building a high-end private facility which never took off as the owner expected. The course turned public and since has had houses built on it and a few holes changed to “accommodate” the public golfer. Inniscrone is bittersweet – it offers an excellent experience for the price, but it’s hard not to notice that the course is 15 years into a 50 year slide that happens at many municipal courses. Fairways and greens are shrinking every year, with the original bentgrass fairway lines now in the rough. The 16th hole has houses that encroach on what used to be a split fairway. I wish I had seen Inniscrone shortly after opening. There are a few head scratching holes but 14 of them are spectacular. Philly is lucky to have an affordable design by one of golf architecture’s best.

Is Lulu a public golf course?

Lulu is a private club that allows for public play. The Donald Ross design is quirky and fun. New ownership has taken down trees, reopening some long views and bringing back Lulu’s charm. Limekiln Pike divides the course with 1-7 playing on one side of the road and the closing 11 on the main parcel. Lulu’s strength is its wonderful rolling land, good variety and a splendid set of Ross greens. A few of the course’s most notable holes include the short par-3 4th (one of the many great shorties in Philly), the punchbowl par-4 8th and the short par-4 16th. It’s unclear how long Lulu will accept public play , so I advise getting out on this gem sooner rather than later. Full profile
