When the membership of Llanerch CC in Havertown, Pa., voted to close the course for a major renovation at the hands of golf course architect Stephen Kay, they knew there was a “coming-out party” on the horizon. The party has been scheduled for July 25 and 26 of this year, and Llanerch has been proclaimed ready to be the featured guest.
The 91-year-old course just west of Philadelphia’s city limits will host a 50th anniversary celebration of the 1958 PGA Championship that was held there. When the many guests arrive at Llanerch for the celebration, they will see a course that looks much different than it has in recent years. “Refreshed, renovated, re-invigorated and renewed” are just some of the words that have been used to describe what has been done to the original Alex Findlay design.
