In 1906, Mr. Ellis Gimbel and several of Philadelphia’s captains of commerce and industry came together to form a country club 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 fruits of their labor and enjoy countless updates. Come see what today's Philmont Country Club has to offer! Be the one to enjoy Philadelphia social clubs for a chance to socialize and gain more connections.
