Aronimink Golf Club is a private Platinum Golf Club located just outside of Philadelphia in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. The Club has a rich history dating back to 1896. In 1926, Aronimink acquired 300 acres in Newtown Square and commissioned Donald Ross to design the historical golf course. On Memorial Day of 1928, the Club moved into the current clubhouse. Aronimink's Donald Ross-designed course is consistently rated one of the finest and most challenging in the United States.

The corner of 52nd Street and Chester Avenue was the birthplace of the Belmont Golf Association, an outgrowth of Belmont Cricket Club. In December of 1896, this patch of southwest Philadelphia was little more than a pale green meadow. A handful of cricketers led by Harrison Townsend laid out a few rudimentary golf holes here. In 1900, the Belmont golfers incorporated themselves as the Aronimink Golf Club. Its first professional, James Campbell, was succeeded by John Shippen, an African-American who was arguably the first American-born golf professional. In 1902, the Aronimink golfers moved less than a mile down the road to 54th Street and Whitby Avenue. Out of the caddie yard came 19 year old John Joseph McDermott, who in 1911, at Chicago Golf Club, became the first golfer born and bred in America to win the U. S. Open. And he won it again, the following year, at the Country Club of Buffalo. In 1913, the Club moved to Drexel Hill, where it remained for 13 years. Then Aronimink acquired 300 acres in Newtown Square in 1926 and commissioned Donald Ross to layout 18 holes there.
