Huntingdon Valley Country Club golf course

Author & Golf Historian

George
Henninger

Huntingdon Valley Country Club, founded in 1897, sits at the heart of one of the finest golf regions in America. The Philadelphia area has long been blessed with exceptional courses, and Huntingdon Valley stands proudly among the best of them. The original Noble course, a collaboration of two Scots, John Reid and Willie Campbell, was considered one of the most difficult in the country. The current course, designed by William Flynn of the Philadelphia School of Golf Course Architecture and Shinnecock fame, consistently ranks high in Philadelphia, state and national polls. Every book George Henninger has written tells a different chapter of the same remarkable story — one great club, 129 years of history.

About the Author

One Club.
129 Years of History.

George Henninger has spent years researching the deep history of Huntingdon Valley Country Club — one of the Philadelphia area's most storied institutions, founded in 1897 by members who were as influential in American business and civic life as they were on the fairway.

His four books draw on original records, photographs, and untold stories to reveal how this one club reflected — and helped direct — the course of American golf, enterprise, and community for over a century.
