Item Description

This is a unique opportunity for 3 to golf at the private Merion Golf Club, offering includes greens fees, caddies and lunch.  Considered one of the top 10 golf courses in the world, Merion has hosted more USGA championship tournaments then any other course. Merion is located just outside of Philadelphia, in Ardmore PA.

Jack Nicklaus once said, "Acre for acre, [Merion] may be the best test of golf in the world."

Championship golf and champion golfers have long been intertwined with the mystique of Merion Golf Club’s East and West Courses.

Designed by Hugh Wilson, Merion’s East Course has played host to more USGA Championships than any course in America and is home to some of its greatest moments. From Robert Tyre Jones, Jr.'s completion of golf’s elusive Grand Slam at the 1930 U.S. Amateur held at Merion to Ben Hogan’s awe inspiring performance and now legendary one-iron on the 72nd hole during the 1950 U.S. Open, the sculpted greens, fairways, and treacherous bunkers of Merion have shaped the game.

Scheduled to host the 2013 U.S. Open, Merion continues to not only challenge the world’s best, but identify them as well.
