McCall Golf Club

History
McCall Golf Club has one of the most unique stories in the Golf Association of Philadelphia region. The property began as Kelly’s Field, a recreational complex created by the Philadelphia Electric Company for its employees. In 1919, the grounds were renamed Howard McCall Field to honor Captain Howard McCall, a PECO employee who lost his life during World War I. That same year, golf was introduced to the property, beginning a tradition that continues more than a century later.
To encourage employees to play the game, legendary architect Donald Ross designed a simple nine-hole course made entirely of par 3s. Golf quickly became popular, prompting the club to expand the property and commission renowned architect William Flynn to design an additional nine holes. By 1935, the course had grown into the distinctive 18-hole layout that golfers enjoy today.
A Classic Ross and Flynn Layout
The course reflects the combined talents of two of golf’s greatest architects. Although modest in length, the layout rewards precision, creativity, and smart course management rather than power alone. Rolling terrain, small greens, strategic bunkering, and the natural movement of Cobbs Creek create memorable challenges throughout the round.
With no par 5s and several outstanding short holes, the course offers a refreshing test that stands apart from modern championship layouts. Careful stewardship has preserved many of the original architectural features, allowing today’s golfers to experience a design rooted in golf’s Golden Age.
Golf, Tradition, and Community
Since its earliest days, the club has fostered a welcoming atmosphere built around friendship and the game of golf. Members enjoy competitive tournaments, practice facilities, professional instruction, and an active calendar of golf and social events throughout the year.
The clubhouse continues to serve as the heart of the club, bringing generations of members together while honoring the traditions established more than 100 years ago. That strong sense of community remains one of the club’s defining characteristics.
McCall Golf Club Today
Today, McCall Golf Club remains one of the Philadelphia area’s most distinctive private golf clubs. Its remarkable history, classic architecture, and welcoming membership continue to create an experience unlike any other in the region.
More than a century after golf first arrived at Howard McCall Field, the club continues to celebrate its unique heritage while providing an enjoyable challenge for golfers of every generation.
